End of the Year / Album of the Year

Listen: First Year of Operation Mix by Rusted Tone Recordings

RTR is an independent, self-sustaining cassette-based record label specializing in ambient, drone, and experimental music, based in Farnham, UK.

Following a number of years within the ambient/drone/experimental music genre, both as a musician by the name of Slow Clinic (and one half of A Home For Ghosts) and as a dedicated listener, RTR was started in an effort to give back to the creative community that has fostered so many wonderful experiences.

Rusted Tone Recordings does not run for profit; any and all income from physical and digital sales goes straight towards releasing new music and developing higher quality products.

We’re proud to present a mix by Rusted Tone, British label run by James Edward Armstrong (aka Slow Clinic)! A plate of aural treats by this young and promising imprint!
