Gone but not forgotten: 10 short-lived influential labels
Digging deep for your next favourite track
Vibraphone Records (1992-1993)
Once the releases dried up on Male Productions, The True Underground Sound Of Rome crew created the sub-label Vibraphone Records. The label has developed a cult following thanks to its knack for producing timeless tracks, coupled with an art aesthetic that wouldn’t be out of place in today’s lo-fi scene. Stefano Curti, Mauro Tannino, Stefano Di Carlo and Mauro Ruvolo were behind every release on the label under various aliases including 49th Street, Minimal Vision and The Bermuda Triangle. Despite represses and anthologies coming from the label in 2015, original copies of records still retail on Discogs for up to £75.
