Live From Earth – techno’s enfants terribles

Ten years into the Berlin label’s remarkable story, Cassidy George speaks to the core team about staying DIY, rejecting nightlife’s norms and championing off-the-wall dance music.

“Since launching in 2014, Live From Earth has evolved from a punk, left-wing YouTube channel into one of the most influential independent labels in electronic music. Defined by its anti-establishment and DIY ethos, it has long embraced principles that defied norms and challenged industry moulds. Now, its defining, once-contrarian characteristics––genre-fluidity, a pioneering, post-internet aesthetic and a shared commitment to levity and humor––has set trends within the broader landscape of dance music. Live From Earth has both shaped and infected the contemporary zeitgeist in club culture.”
