Dialled In Records South Asian culture platform Dialled In has unveiled Dialled In Records, a London-based label dedicated to developing and breaking South Asian artists across genres. The label has launched in partnership with The Collective, the A&R entrepreneur imprint within Island-EMI at Universal Music Group U.K.
The label’s inaugural signings are Ahadadream — one of Dialled In’s own co-founders — and New Delhi and Mumbai-based multidisciplinary collective Excise Dept. Born and raised in Karachi before relocating to the U.K. at 12, Ahadadream has become a notable presence on the British music scene, earning the backing of major names including Skrillex, with whom he features on debut single “Bass Dhol” alongside Raf Saperra. Excise Dept blend experimental electronics with South Asian identity, singing and rapping across multiple regional languages — their inclusion speaks to the label’s intention to work with artists based on the subcontinent itself, not only within the diaspora.
