This compilation is the audio accompaniment to our Label Pairing Guide for the 2018 Columbia Experimental Music Festival. These labels helped financially support the festival. We wrote long-form reviews for featured releases of theirs in our "Pairing Guide". We hope you take a second and appreciate what incredible music is being released from all corners of the world through these labels. There's a lot on here. Enjoy!
