Staalplaat is a forum for soundartists, an organisation network with a music label, an e-zine, a radioprogram, an audio-galerie, shop, mail order and distribution company, started in Amsterdam.
Since 1982 we concentrate on new and experimental music. Where most organisations measure their success in terms of sales or riding the crest of the latest trends, Staalplaat was created to discover the rough diamonds, to take risks and embrace all surprises. The centre of Staalplaat's strategy is to invest in the future by stimulating new sounds, establishing and supporting new routes, connecting artists with new improvisational themes and experimental music ideas, the exchange and exploration of different metamusical concepts and thus expanding the boundaries of what we call "music."
Up to the year 2000 we have produced over 300 audio releases in various formats by artists such as Muslimgauze, Zoviet France, Ryoji Ikeda, Charlemagne Palestine, Jim O' Rourke, and many others. Staalplaat as a label has a strong opinion on artwork and packaging. In the past we used hand made laser cut paper, CDs in leather (Illusion of Safety with a real bullet!), stolen Soviet army badges and lots more. In our Mort Aux Vaches series we produce a wide variety of materials, such as paper,copper plastic or sand paper.
Staalplaat has sub-labels like The MUSLIMLIM series, which was set up to give room to the incredible production of Muslimgauze. We have used different forms like: mini disc, picture disks, special packaged CD's, box sets and even two internet releases. All in editions ranging from 200 to 2000 copies. There is the Mort Aux Vaches series (ref. to Hakim Bey's Dead to the cows, i.e. dead to the establishment) which is a collaboration between Staalplaat and the VPRO radio (national Dutch radio). They do the recording sessions and we release them in a limited edition and use a special paper folded as packaging . In this series we have a.o.: Merzbow, Muslimgauze, Charlemagne Palestine/Pan sonic, John Duncan, Ryoji Ikeda , Stilluppsteypa, Kreidler, Flying Saucer Attack, Goem , Signal / Noto / Byetone / Komet , Coh, Dan Burke / Kevin Drumm, Pimmon, Tim Hecker, Greg Davis, Zeitkratzer, Jazzkammer, Mitchell Akiyama FM3 Goodiepal, Tape, Colleen, Andrei Kiritchenko and recently Mahmoud Refat, Machinefabriek and Tarek Atoui.
