The label is home to the widely respected improvisational group Supersilent as well as the solo work of its members including Deathprod and Arve Henriksen. Other notable releases are by Shining, Susanna and the Magical Orchestra, Jono El Grande, Skyphone, Alog, Phonophani and Food.
In 2000, the label signed a distribution deal with ECM, which increased the label's audience considerably. This deal came to an end early 2005.
In November 2003 the label celebrated its 30th release by issuing a set that included a two-CD compilation and a book that displayed each of Kim Hiorthøy's highly praised digipak designs.[2] An updated second edition of this was released in December 2008.[3]
