Collection: Sublime Frequencies
Sublime Frequencies is a collective of explorers dedicated to acquiring and exposing obscure sights and sounds from modern and traditional urban and rural frontiers. Founded by Alan Bishop of Sun City Girls, the label showcases a diverse range of music through film, video, field recordings, radio transmissions, international folk and pop music, sound anomalies, and other forms of human and natural expression. Their mission is to bring attention to these underrepresented genres that are often overlooked by academic research, the recording industry, media outlets, or corporate foundations.
With an extensive catalog spanning various cultures and regions around the world, Sublime Frequencies offers a unique listening experience for those seeking unconventional sounds. Through their releases, they aim to shed light on hidden musical treasures that might otherwise go unnoticed. Whether it's capturing the vibrant street life in Morocco or unearthing rare recordings from Southeast Asia, Sublime Frequencies takes listeners on a sonic journey unlike any other.
Owned and operated by Alan Bishop alongside Mark Gergis, Sublime Frequencies continues to push boundaries in its exploration of global music traditions. By bridging gaps between different communities through music discovery, this label serves as a platform for cultural exchange and appreciation. With each release carefully curated by passionate individuals with deep knowledge of these lesser-known genres, Sublime Frequencies remains at the forefront of uncovering extraordinary musical experiences from around the world.
