Launched in January 2004, Boltfish recordings is owned and run by CHEjU and MINT, long time musical collaborators and friends. Their exploration into experimental sound dates back as far as the mid-1980s and they have been pushing the boundaries ever since.

Boltfish is a music label specialising in electronic and organic sounds. This includes idm, glitch, and electronica.

We release music on CD at cost price, via Digital Download through a variety of online retailers such as ITunes, Beatport and MSN as well as some music free of charge online.

From its inception in 2004 Boltfish released its music once a month, building a catalogue of nearly 50 releases, including 3 compilations, from artists across the globe.

In 2008 Boltfish changed its release schedule and presentation as follows:

• Our release are duplicated and printed to a higher quality than ever before, packaged in the great half-size DVD style cases we always use for our albums.
• Our release schedule encompasses 4 core CD releases per year - all albums, plus occasional 'Digital Only' releases.
• Much of our existing back-catalogue (pre-2007*) is available via Digital Download only (via ITunes, Beatport, MSN etc). Older releases may still be available through other retailers.
• *Our compilations are still available on CD
