Interchill Records

Interchill Records is a Canadian independent record label that began as a label in Montreal in 1996, having first established a name in the chill-out rooms of the emerging Montreal music scene. The label originally focused on releasing Canadian downtempo music, reasoning that the country's long winters must have hidden creative talent, and this focus soon broadened to releasing music from artists around the world. Interchill built its sound primarily through compilations, which were curated at various points by Andrew, Gordon, Nick, Nathalie, Neerav and Naasko. Most of the artist albums the label has gone on to release come from artists who first appeared on its compilations. In 2004, Andrew formed Mariko Music Publishing in order to boost licensing potential for Interchill's releases. The label is based on Salt Spring Island, British Columbia. It maintains an active release schedule and, as of 2021, moved to becoming distributed by Six Degrees. Interchill also operates a Bandcamp store for orders, a Mixcloud page for mixes, and a regularly updated Spotify playlist called Interchill Sounds. The label's network of artists, DJs and VJs is described as deep and broad, and it handles licensing, wholesale orders and bookings. Interchill's catalogue spans downtempo, chill-out, ambient and world-fusion music, with releases including compilations and artist albums. The label has worked with artists such as Suns of Arqa and Evan Fraser and Vir McCoy (House of Hamsa). Its identity is closely tied to the global chill-out and downtempo scene, and it continues to release music and support its roster of artists.
