To give you an idea of the scope of the Barcelona-based label Modern Obscure Music, they have released records from both Japanese noise legend Merzbow and British bass experimenter Shackelton. They have worked with German artist Wolfgang Tillmans and the late Japanese composer Ryuichi Sakamoto. But the label was actually started as an outlet for its founder, Pedro Vian, to put out his own diverse brand of electronic music.
Since then, Modern Obscure Music has grown into an open-hearted experimental music label that operates without boundaries—both sonically and geographically. The label’s mix for Nina follows this logic. “Experimental sounds predominantly define the label, but I'm not committed to a specific style,” Vian says in our interview. “I release what I enjoy, and when I discover something interesting, I feel the need to share it.” Listen to the mix and check out our interview with Vian below.
