Believe in Billy Records was founded in 2008 as a netlabel to freely share eclectic, experimental electronic music via Creative Commons Licences.
Founded and curated by Brian Ruskin (USA), the label roster includes artists such as Advances in Obsolete Technology (Avid), the Abscraps, Down Team Up,
ESCALE, Gears in the Rain, Mental Health Consumer, and Skinny Knockdown, as well as archival compilations from members of born dirty.org, the Underworld fan forum.
Genres span ambient through techno, soundscapes to lo-fi rock, with the shared theme of showcasing awe in the commonplace, and sensitivity for the little moments of life.
And who is Billy? A legend, a ghost, an alter-ego? Maybe. Take a listen and discover for yourself!
