Instinct Records

Profile

Founded as a dance label in a Greenwich Village living room, Instinct Records gained prominence in the early 1990s by releasing compilations of [l=Acid Jazz]-label material in the US. The simultaneous success of the label's first signing, electronic musician [a=Moby], was built on by licensing and releasing seminal recordings from [l=Rising High Records], [l=Kickin Records], and [l=Antler-Subway], as well as releasing music by local techno-oriented ambient musicians signed to the label. Instinct was purchased by [l=Knitting Factory Records] in 2003. For company credits, please use [l=Instinct Records, Inc.] if credited with "Inc".
