NON Records
NON Records is an independent record label based in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Founded in 2010 by musician and graphic designer Bear Damen, the label is known for electronic music with an emphasis on analog recording techniques. The current roster of artists included Bear Damen himself, as well as Palmbomen, THE BENELUX, Renkas, Marius, and HyperHyper. History NON Records began as a collaborative effort headed by Bear Damen in Amsterdam. The label emerged from a shared interest in creating electronic music for an international audience with a focus on analog recording techniques. Damen's home in Amsterdam served as both the headquarters and recording studio when the label launched in 2010. In addition to being a recording artist, Bear also works for the graphic design bureau Unknown User, responsible for the label's album and promotional artwork. Dutch artist and Damen's longtime friend Kai Hugo contributed the first release with his then girlfriend as 'Ganz Nackish'. This project was later abandoned when Hugo shifted his music to a slightly different direction as Palmbomen, which served as the label's fourth official release. Other Amsterdam-based artists including Kyiv-born Renkas, four member electro-rock group THE BENELUX, and Damen himself also released EPs under NON Records. Current status
