About

Founded in 1998 in Paris and currently located in Northern Virginia, Mechanoise Labs is a small label dedicated but not limited to various forms of eclectic electronics, structured mechanical noise, soundscapes and other audio oddities. What originally started out as as a platform for small prints of self-released CD-Rs gradually grew into a label for CD and digital releases with which we feel a strong esthetic kinship.

Our distribution catalog has also grown to include over 300 titles, covering an equally wide scope of genres.

This website is currently in its third incarnation, and is now powered by Ruby on Rails, Elasticsearch and Foundation 5.
