SINE MUSIC: Electronic/Ambient-Label of the Year – 2021
Genre: Electronica, Ambient, Melodic House, Deep House

Besides Gondwana Records I wrote a lot of reviews for Thomas Hauser’s SINE MUSIC label in Villingen-Schwenningen in 2021. And this was the center for all my activities in electronic music.

At Sine Music, simply everything is just right: the portfolio is excellent, the artists who have been part of the label’s roster for years are of the very finest and are setting standards in the field of electronica/ambient. But SINE MUSIC is also a label that specifically takes care of new artists and offers a platform for new music and also for the one or other experiment. In addition, there is an excellent studio.
It is also a huge pleasure to work with SINE MUSIC, the material that SINE MUSIC provides meets every standard that music journalism demands for all-encompassing articles, reviews etc. SINE MUSIC is also an exemplary community around the artist base, which usually supports each other very effectively in all matters.
