History

Northern Spy is an artist-run record label. In October 2011, Northern Spy produced the first annual Spy Music Festival, spanning two days and hosted by two venues. The festival was hailed as a celebration of the label's first birthday. A year later, the label threw its second festival, which took place over two weeks in venues throughout Brooklyn and Manhattan. NSPY artists continue to support local venues by bringing their devoted fans together in small DIY venues.

Northern Spy and its management has been featured in the press through interviews, blogs and in newspapers. The Village Voice wrote an extensive interview with Downey and Abbs in September 2011.[1] In July 2011, East Village Radio named Northern Spy one of the four most important independent record labels in New York City.[2]

gollark: AQA assembly language is some sort of weird ARM derivative with 13 registers and 1024 words of RAM.
gollark: So the obvious solution is to save time and compile into it.
gollark: We are doing assembly programming in computer science and I dislike their language.
gollark: How quickly can a C compiler be written/retargeted for a bizarre architecture?
