I've just started work on a new lp which is based more in electronica than d&b but still has d&b elements within it (what do I do that doesn't?)
It's gonna be embracing everything I hold dear from the past 3 decades of synthesized music from Tangerine Dream to Caberet Voltaire to Miles Davis/Herbie Hancock,Sun Ra to The Orb & Orbital to Vince Clarke to Bjork to King Tubby & so on & so forth.....
Rambling blurbs aside....
My problem is once it's finished what labels are out there who put out stuff like this?
Anyone on here perhaps?
Any kind of info/contacts would be very much appreciated peeps.
Cheers in advance.

Yeah,it's a very common occurence outside of d&b.
Get the lp done & shop it round to labels you feel will be interested.
There's guys I've come across like Delsin,Rush Hour,Music 4 Speakers who I would luv 2 do an album for but we'll see what develops there
Quasar has just taken something for a double cd/lp project he's putting together which was just composed from me editing sounds from household objects in Logic & making various noisebeds & sounds as the backbone to the composition.
So hopefully that'll do well & opens the door to many other things.

you've released on those labels already but from the description you gave your project sounds a little bit different to the stuff they usually release. but worth trying, i guess.
true,but it's worth a try.
Unfortunately guys like Warp are not taking any new artists on board at the moment (according to their website) so that avenue is not open at the mo

yo I know a label!!! It's called Rylo7 recordings!!! --> Have you ever thought about putting it out yourself? maybe that way you'd get more money out of it too as well as control. You've practically got enuff people addicted to your sounds so maybe it could work?!?!?!
Have you tried something like Planet E?

Majors are a headache & only jump on things once they're proven sellers so really lack vision in a MAJOR (see what I did their???) in what they put out & push.
But at the same time have the funds & means to really push the music in places it will be noticed & seen & heard.
Catch22 really

try the post-everything website (forget the url, should be easily searchable), the labels involved have Icarus as well as a bunch of other experimental acts with very broad influences who can't easily be pigeonholed.
