Staalplaat is an independent record label that is located in Amsterdam and recently[when?] opened up a separate store in Berlin. Created in 1982, the company's mission was created as a sound forum for sound artists, who write and perform new and experimental music. The organization stands for finding "rough diamonds" and experimenting to the highest degree with sounds of all types. By doing this, the company abandons conventional standards of success in terms of sales and following the latest trends. The forum has an organization network with a music label, an e-zine, a radioprogram, an audio-galerie, shop, mail order and distribution company, all built around promoting the latest and most creative metamusic.
Staalplaat also presents as the Staalplaat Soundsystem installations and concerts throughout the world and has been performing at: club transmediale, Mutek, Garage, Ghent Vooruit Geluid Festival, SKIF, Sonar and more. In collaboration with VPRO radio, they release recorded sessions as part of the Mort Aux Vaches series.
