record label that was started in 2001 byLondon concert promoter Barry Hogan of Foundation/All Tomorrow's Parties. It was originally created to bring out a compilation cd (ATPRCD01) after the Tortoise-curated All Tomorrow's Parties event. First, everyone who attended the first festival was given a limited edition promotional sampler (PROATPFCD01), the packaging of which echoed theFactory Records style ofPeter Saville . The full compilation followed later, and indeed a number of other ATP festivals would also receive the compilation treatment, the most recent being the 2006 Nightmare Before Christmas, for which ATPR and Plan B Magazine collaborated on a free cd given out to attendees.The label eventually moved on from just doing compilations for the festival to sign bands like
Threnody Ensemble ,Bardo Pond ,The Magic Band ,Jackie-O Motherfucker ,Deerhoof and White Out (with Jim O'Rourke). ATP Recordings has expanded and now also has on its roster Apse,Alexander Tucker ,Death Vessel ,The Drones ,Fuck Buttons ,Fursaxa andThe Scientists .It releases both singles and albums. Most recently, towards the end of 2007 they announced plans to release a new series of double 7" singles called Custom Made, which would feature bands choosing four songs; one something old, one something new, one something borrowed (a cover version) and one something blue (artists were free to interpret this as they feel). The first two bands to release singles in this series are Australia's
The Drones (released at the end of 2007) andAlexander Tucker (released Spring 2008).Projects released so far in 2008 include "Street Horrrsing", the debut album from
Fuck Buttons , a third full-length release from Alexander Tucker named "Portal", a reissue of "Spirit" from Cape Cod's Apse, the "Colours Move" single fromFuck Buttons , and an EP ("The Minotaur + a brief retrospective") fromThe Drones .Still to come in the future are new albums from
Deerhoof named "Offend Maggie " (October 13th), plus an album ("Havilah") fromThe Drones (out now in Australia, out early 2009 worldwide).Release history
