Swordtail Records is a new label out of down under Australia. The label aims to bring you some of the freshest progressive sounds from Australian producers and also from others around the globe. With Australia not having many progressive based labels at the moment, we here at Swordtail thought it was time to try and sort that problem out.

Initial releases and remixes will see acts such as Native, Trafik, 4Mal, Retrobyte and Daniel Gregory unleashing some deep, twisted and atmospheric sounds. The label will begin with some upfront digital releases available from a variety of digital stores and in the future will also be bringing out some top line compilations and singles in CD format.

All releases will come with a variety of mixes to cover off different styles going from Electro through to Trance. Many of the releases will bring new and exciting vocal talents to the forefront. If you have any tracks that you think we might be interested in, then simply visit the contact page and drop us a link to your tune. In the mean time, we hope you enjoy what Swordtail Records has to offer the wonderful world of music.
