Montréal, San FranCISCO 2003-2013

THE LABEL HISTORY

de’fchild productions was a forward thinking record label and media production imprint from Montréal, then San Francisco, founded by Ruoho Ruotsi

Our technical work, building tools for the studio. had us constantly thinking about ways to cultivate genuinely new means of musical expression. This predilection to studio-borne-inspiration was particularly present in our affection for idioms rooted in dub, experimental electro-acoustics and techno. Quintessentially, we pursued novel sonic art at the frontiers of more popular musical forms.
