1017 Brick Squad Records
USA based rap label supposedly run by rapper Gucci Mane, although he has been in prison more that out on the street recently that is a somewhat dubious statement, and it is not even certain if the label is still active as a label. Apart from music by Gucci himself the label has released music by other rappers and groups connected to the Atlanta scene including the Ferrari Boys and has a sub-label called Brick Squad Monopoly although we have not managed to find any actual releases under BSM label. The label is distributed by Warner Brothers and does not have a homepage so the following link goes to their Facebook page. -- Official homepage
Formats supported : CD, MP3.

12 Apostles
Small British label that is best known for releasing 12” records (hence name) although more recent releases have all been on CD/MP3. The output is mostly from British and Aussie bands/artists, early output was mostly slightly left field dance oriented electronica & grime, minimal wave inspired at times, but more recent stuff has added more modern brit-pop and a folk/electronic blend that can only be described as New Age even though the label has them as Nu-prog. All releases from 12 Apostles have a distinctive self-produced/bedroom recording sound to them, to a point of being almost cute. -- Official homepage
Formats supported : CD, EP 30cm, LP, MP3.

12k
Canadian label that specialises in electronica, what would broadly be described as ambientwith some very mild excursions into the experimental. Although the blurb uses terms such as minimalist and electro-acoustic their understanding of the terms is technical and/or Laptop Music, and not to be confused classic electronic musical styles that use these terms. -- Official homepage
