Glitterhouse is a music label owned by Reinhard Holstein. Founded in 1981 by Holstein and Rembert Stiewe, the label started as a fanzine called "The Glitterhouse" that focused on 60's garage and psychedelia, punk extensions, weirdo folk, and similar genres. Over the years, Glitterhouse has released music from German artists such as *Surfin' Dead*, *The Strangemen*, and *Shiny Gnomes*. In 1987, Glitterhouse began a cooperation with Seattle-based record label Sub Pop, which led to increased popularity and market position for both labels. This partnership allowed Glitterhouse to distribute records from bands like Nirvana and Soundgarden in Europe.

In addition to working with Sub Pop, Glitterhouse also distributed products from Amphetamine Reptile Records in Europe. However, this collaboration ended when Glitterhouse no longer identified with the musical content of the American noise label. Despite this setback, Glitterhouse continued to publish its own signings including *Monster Magnet*, *Sylvia Juncosa*, *Sister Double Happiness*, and *Bitch Magnet*.

Since 1994, Glitterhouse has expanded its roster to include alternative rock bands from Scandinavia and England. The label now covers a wide range of musical styles including widescreen-pop, indie-electronica, avant-garde, dark indie folk, rock,
