Sdmpdx, LLC

SDM Records (short for SadoDaMascus Records) was born out of a collective of Portland, OR based producers and artists collaborating under the moniker and eventual company Sonic Debris Multimedia. The label officially launched in the summer of 2012 with a string of compilation releases focusing primarily on artists from the Pacific Northwest (almost entirely from a tight knit group of friends and peers) with common unifying elements in the artists' music including (but not limited to) the use of digital and analog electronics, a penchant for experimentation, a lack of reliance on traditional song structures, free-form or improvisational approaches, an appreciation of the absurd, a tendency towards the surreal, open ears, boundless will, and adventurous attitudes.
