sensoryhalf1Sensory Projects started out as the home of ‘Sadness Is In The Sky’, a music ‘zine focused on leftfield and (primarily) independent music culture. A long-time fascination with record labels found Sensory Projects, admiring labels like Spunk!, Drag City, Thrill Jockey, Warp, Fat-Cat, Trifekta, Kranky, Constellation, Domino, Mego, Remote Control, and Leaf, and encouraged by the offer of a distribution deal with Sydney company Inertia, dipping its toes into a new World.

Sensory Projects (the label) fell into being during 2000 and our first label release (Kammerflimmer Kollektief’s amazing Maander) came in March 2001. Time has sped past since that time, the label working with a roster of artists including The Tigers, Hood, Disaster Plan, The Rectifiers, International Karate, Pretty Boy Crossover, Symbiotic, MONO, and The Sand Pebbles, as well the likes of Pivot, City City City, Minus Story, Damien Jurado, Mirah, Mike Noga, Urdog, Shearwater, Object, and Eluvium, and recently Canon Blue, Panoptique Electrical, Children Of The Wave, The Declining Winter, and The Sun Blindness. Newcomers to Sensory Projects are MUM SMOKES, Bruce Peninsula, White Woods, and Great Earthquake.

Sensory Projects has curated events and shows including A Basket Of Good Eggs (April 2009) and Hold Hands! (July 2009).

Sensory Projects is a based in Melbourne, Australia.

“Sensory Projects; a label that has consistently surprised and delighted the ears, by digging up and bringing to us some of the most incredible music that you would never otherwise hear.” INPRESS magazine
