The Black Point music label was formed on January 1, 1990. The first releases comprised solely of cassettes of the Czech underground & parallel scene – music that had been unavailable on the market due to the communist prohibitions on releasing anything of this kind officially. Many a genuine artist, secluded from the poseurs favoured by the communist party, were suddenly on sale. There was a huge interest.

Black Point music soon became a small independent label producing quality domestic music beyond the mainstream, regardless of style. By 1992 Black Point was releasing media in all formats and had become a distributor for smaller Czech labels.

In late 90s, Black Point music opened its first own shop together with an e-shop, one of the first of its kind in the Czech Republic. Their publishing activities continued to focus on the Czech independent scene: Alongside contemporary artists, BPm released a representative range of older CDs in the Archive edition. This important series included many legendary names from the totalitarian times, featuring debut albums of well-known but until then unissued groups.

The new millenium brought a reduction of Black Point’s publishing activities, reflecting a noticeable decrease of quality domestic musicians, depletion of the archive resources as well as overall expansion of home reproduction on CD-R and mp3.

Today, Black Point is mainly a shop and e-shop, where you can find amazing musical feats from the Czech Republic and worldwide. The label survives, producing several extraordinary discs marked with a black-point logo annually, contemporary or archive. You can order some of the albums through the distribution of British independent label Recommended Records, but most of them are available through us exclusively.
