dedpop is back?

01/05/2023

Dedpop was an electronic music netlabel I ran from 2007 to 2012. Over the course of 5 years we put out numerous releases, starting with digital downloads and moving into cassette tapes. We featured artists from the UK, France, Spain, Russia and the USA. Sadly in 2012 a number of tricky things happened in quick succession which resulted in the site vanishing from the internet. I'd always meant to reinstate it when I got some time. I didn't think it'd take me 11 years but here we are.

Is this the old site?

What you are looking at is an archived copy of the site as it was in late 2008 because that's what I found on an old hard drive. If I can find a newer version I'll put that up too but I don't have much hope as I think by 2009 I was updating the site live on a server and not taking backups. Gah!
This version of the site has 14 releases and I think they hold up very well. They're all free to download so have a listen and enjoy yourself. There are also a couple of EPs that were exclusive to mailing list subscribers back in the day but which are now freely downloadable.

Is there any plan to release new music through dedpop?

Things have changed a lot since 2012. We have Bandcamp for one thing so anyone who wants to can upload their music and make it available for free download or sell it very easily. But there's something nice about the idea of a record label still. So who knows...
