Occasionally someone is kind enough, or inspired enough or has enough free time on their hands to review a Boltfish release, write about one of our artists or simply makes a comment about the label as a whole. Below are some of the items we've come across. If you see anything about us that isn't on this page, let us know - we might have missed it!

We've split the reviews by release, as well as including some general comments at the bottom of this page.

General Reviews/Comments on Boltfish Recordings

E|I Mag
"Better to burn out than to fade away…maybe IDM, as a strict, now probably passé, genre rubric, adopted said platitude years ago, but the enterprising label Boltfish ain’t having none of it. As far as they’re concerned, the propagation of “organic electronica” (Boltfish’s own descriptor) is a categorical imperative. At least from a British standpoint, there’s few labels left out of a once mighty Anglo collective (e.g., Neo Ouija and Expanding’s dormancy, though both poised for resurrection; others such as Focus/Defocus and New Electronica long dead and buried), which seems to smack of marketplace logistics rather than consumer indifference. Certainly on evidence here, these three recent Boltfish outings are testament to a continuing evolution of rhythmic laptop-generated electronica doing its best to bypass genre shoehorning or succumbing to any of its software manipulator’s compositional mouse-traps."

"Boltfish is a label set to grow and grow not only because it has a priceless knack of picking the best new artists in its field to work with (Zainetica and Ochre are just two on the ‘Region Zero’ sampler worth keeping an eye on), but because there is an underlying, positive ethos behind the label that keeps the focus on the music and nowhere else."

"Known for releasing quality electronics by means of MP3's on their website (feat. Zainetica, Mint, Bal-a-klah-va, Mediumdan, Cheju, Karmoy), Boltfish are among a handful of young labels pushing the edges of cinematic electronics into the right direction. "

"The first thing that makes anything released on Boltfish recordings so bad-ass, besides the music itself being great, is that Boltfish is an artist owned, non-profit label."
"We are yet to hear anything disappointing from this label and are looking forward to the new stuff they have coming up in the near future."

"A non-profit, technology embracing record label is certainly an unusual thing. I wonder how they finance their operation... However they do it, they have some pretty cool music free to listen to on their site"
