Label boss Rein Fuks regards the Estonian Kohvirecords and the Scottish Geographic Music as the most notable: „Kohvirecords especially because I helped Hannes (Hannes Praks – ed.) with it at some point and that’s where I got some knowledge on how to run a label. However, the greatest influence musically has been Stephen Pastel’s Geographic Music.“ Fuks adds: „Well, there has been an abundance of records that have left their mark on our sound. We’ve built our product on a pretty subjective basis, releasing only those artists whose sound and music we dig.“
