Experience Erased Tapes Records

Erased Tapes Records was founded in 2008 in London by Robert Raths. Initially conceived as a platform to release the music of Nils Frahm, the label quickly expanded to encompass a diverse roster of artists sharing an affinity for contemporary classical, experimental electronic music, and post-rock influences. Frahm’s *Felt* (2011) is considered a pivotal release, establishing the label’s aesthetic.

The label’s catalog features artists including Ólafur Arnalds, whose compositions often blend strings with electronic elements; Rival Consoles, known for atmospheric techno and sound design; and Peter Broderick, recognized for his piano-based minimalism and vocal work. Erased Tapes distinguishes itself through a consistent visual aesthetic—minimalist album artwork often featuring stark photography—and a focus on high-quality vinyl production.

Erased Tapes has fostered collaborations between artists and expanded into film scoring, notably with Arnalds' work on the television series *Broadchurch*. The label maintains a commitment to artist development, allowing musicians creative freedom while building a dedicated international audience. Erased Tapes continues to operate from Berlin, having relocated from London in 2014.
