What
is Exponential?
Exponential
Records is an independent record label based out
of San Antonio, TX devoted to releasing solid electronic,
downtempo, and experimental music. The label began
in 2002 when graphic designer / producer, Ernest
Gonzales, teamed up with DJ Jester the Filipino
Fist to release the Heavily Booted mixtape. Shortly
thereafter, Gonzales released Algorythm, recording
under the alias, Theory of Everything.
Since then Exponential has released a steady stream of music including
2 compilations, Collapsing Culture and Wait til the Ice Melts...both
of which have helped to shape the sound of electronic music coming
from Texas.
It is our belief that good music can come from anywhere and there does
not need to be any flashy gimmicks associated with it.
We believe in
breaking stereotypes. Exponential is a Hispanic owned label with the
majority of the artists being of Hispanic Ethnicity.
We also support the DIY aesthetic...all the artwork
and music are designed and produced by the artists themselves.
We believe strongly in promoting artists primarily from Texas.
We make electronic music for humans.
We believe in collaboration on many different levels.
As a label we are young but there is much
more music to come so keep your eyes and ears open.
