Label of the Month: Iboga Records
Iboga Records are one of the trailblazing vertebrates of progressive psy-trance, which dawned within the crevices of Copenhagen’s squat scene during the mid '90s. Next year, the label will celebrate their 30-year anniversary, which has transformed from a grassroots trance community into a global business housing a label, studio and booking agency. Beatportal sat down with co-founders Michael Abel Larsen and Mikael Dahlgaard to talk about their reflections on sustaining a global record label and going back to their rebellious rave roots.
