Defective Records is an independent record label founded in 1994 in Baltimore, United States...[1]
History
[edit]The label was created by Dan Nigrin and Bump Stadelman, both longstanding disc jockeys in the Baltimore nightclub scene, playing at venues such as Cignel, the Rev, Orpheus, PowerCore, the Depot, and several others[2]. They created the label intending to release their own musical creations as Glitch, their electronic music band, after having previously released music on several other prominent independent labels around the world, like R&S Records (Belgium), FAX +49-69/450464 (Germany), Industrial Strength Records (USA), and Radikal Records (USA).[3] It soon became apparent to them that Baltimore needed its own electronic music label, to release the growing quantity of excellent material being created there, and before long they signed artists from around the United States and the rest of the world.[4][5]
1994-1998
[edit]The label's period of greatest activity spanned from 1994 to 1998, when it issued 30 releases of various genres of electronic music.[6] The label primarily released vinyl records, though it had a brief foray into full length CDs, including one by the band Glitch which garnered very good reviews, including one in the highly regarded Option (music magazine).[7] Several of the releases were subsequently licensed for inclusion on other labels, in both original and remixed form, on compilations, etc...
2000s
[edit]2007 saw Defective release two records on its newly created Defective Experiments sub-label. This included Cambodian Psych-Out, a pre-Khmer Rouge psychedlic rock compilation.
2020s
[edit]In 2020, the label issued a 25-year retrospective compilation release, Electronic Mutations From Beyond, which garnered significant praise from Resident Advisor, calling it an "essential compilation".[8]
Software
[edit]Beginning in 1997 and continuing through present day (2023), the label began to branch out by releasing audio-related software, initially to support vintage synthesizers and sequencers (e.g. the Roland MC-202, with "MC-202 Hack", the Roland MC-4, and Oberheim DSX[9], and later with innovative software step sequencers and editor/librarians for other vintage gear[10]
