Artists » Type | A record label. Experimedia - inside the outside. Ninja Tune. Inspired by a visit to Japan, Black & More primarily created Ninja Tune in 1990 as a means to escape the creative control of major labels,[4] and to act as a vehicle to release music of a more underground nature,[5] free from the restraints that were put on them via their brief stints with Arista and Big Life.[6] Over the last 24 years, the visionary[7] label has since blossomed to become consistently heralded and “reliably excellent”,[8] keeping a widespread focus on signing a diverse range of uncompromising artists,[9] encouraging interactive technology,[10] embracing the audio-visual world, creating their own publishing company (Just Isn’t Music), and finding innovative uses of software.[11] History[edit] 1990-1999[edit] After Coldcut’s success with their first label, their prophetically titled Ahead Of Our Time, contractual issues prevented them to release anything under their own name.

In 1995, Matt Black created ‘Pipe,’ Ninja’s first website. 2000-2010[edit] HW&W Recordings. Brainfeeder. A T E L I E R C I S E A U X.
