Founded in 2000 by Matthew Herbert Accidental is now celebrating 25 years of releasing independent electronic music from across the globe. The imprint is the overall name for Matthew's family of three labels, incorporating Lifelike and Soundslike from January 2000 to administer and oversee the release and distribution of Herbert’s music after all the labels he'd previously recorded for had finished.
Now it is a platform that incorporates Accidental Jnr - a sub-label to release all manner of wonky techno and leftfield house, strictly electronic / dance / club 12"s and Accidental Editions imprint, set up to partner with some of the art world’s most prestigious institutions to produce limited edition releases of music and sound works from their projects.
