Anticon is a label for a movement. Comprised of 8 gentlemen involved both individually and in small groups with recording, performing, writing and unlearning art at large. Bound by 8 brands of genre defiance, the *anticon* family along with a handful of coworker cousins have been amassing an archetypal work ethic since 1997 while allowing their respective aesthetics to grow separately and influence one another.

Since its inception, *anticon* has become known for its unique approach to music production and performance. The label is home to a diverse group of artists who are not afraid to push boundaries and challenge traditional genres. Each member brings their own individual style and perspective, creating a collective that is truly groundbreaking.

With over two decades in the industry, *anticon* has established itself as a force to be reckoned with. Their commitment to artistic integrity and innovation has earned them a dedicated fan base around the world. Whether it's through thought-provoking lyrics or experimental soundscapes, *anticon* continues to redefine what it means to be a record label.
