Brown Note Records

Brown Note Records is an independent record label based in Hong Kong. It was founded in 2002 by members of Spermatic Chord.

Originally the label was created for the purpose of releasing albums by Spermatic Chord and by its member's derivative side projects. Over time, they have expanded to also distribute music by other independent music artists both within and outside Hong Kong.

The label is named after the legendary "Brown note", an infrasonic frequency that according to urban myths causes humans to lose control of their bowels due to resonance.

Music

The label specializes in distributing music by DIY independent music artists that either stand against or are largely ignored by mainstream media, mostly of extreme or experimental nature. "Brown Note Records" has released albums by a variety of artists with diverse musical backgrounds, including, but certainly not limited to experimental rock, doom metal, sludge metal, thrash metal, tech metal, grindcore, math rock, prog-rock, indie rock, free improvisation, noise and jazz.
