51beats “an electronic experience” is a Cultural Association, acting as an independent label since 2008. Our prior objective is to discover and promote new artists in the electronic music scene. Unconventional sounds and experimental electronic music are our focus. Our research leads to a catalogue about a half composed by debut-releases of the respective artists, the majority of them available through Creative Commons (CC) licences. The label has been internationally recognized thanks to several nominations at the QWARTZ ‘Electronic and New Music Awards’. Our ‘electronic experience’ comprehends events organization and booking support for a selection of our artists, always with the aim of promoting and helping them to emerge.
