tempest recordings

Bio:

Based in Melbourne, Australia, Tempest Recordings was founded in 1998 by lifelong friends & frequent musical collaborators, Damiano Verna & Christopher Innes.

Our vision was to create a label for electronic music unfettered by genres and scenes where artists could release the music that pleased them & collaboration would be encouraged.

The Tempest team now consists of Damiano Verna, Rob McPherson & Ben Heppel.

Tempest is proud to be part of the CUT Music Group, along with Unicorn Music (Uplifting Trance/Goa Trance) & Cosmicleaf Records (Chill/ Ambient) and we frequently work together with our sister labels.

The CUT Music Group is proud to be distributed worldwide by Arabesque Distribution for CDs & IRIS Distribution for Digital.

We are happy to receive, but please check our demo policy.
