    Founded in 2013, in London, by producers Last Japan and Blackwax, Circadian Rhythms is a multidisciplinary label engaged in evolving the delivery of sound. Since launching their monthly show on NTS, Circadian Rhythms (CR) has expanded into a larger collective attracting artists, designers and musicians from all over the world. The label's conceptual release formats challenge the conventions of how music can be obtained and consumed, in a mostly saturated digital age. With a focus on sustainability, ecological concern and self/communal empowerment within each project, Circadian Rhythms sets to redefine the value and purpose of music. As a conceptual, multi-disciplinary label, we explore new and innovative ways to present live music and art to our audience. With our series CYCLE, we aim to combine the performance elements from some of our favourite artists and label affiliates, whilst showcasing the broad and varying output of visual designers.
