Dais Records
Dais was conceived during a series of conversations between two old friends, Ryan Martin and Gibby Miller, on a summer afternoon in 2007. Following in the footsteps of archivists such as Alan Lomax and Harry Smith, label's goal will always be to release unheard “lost” recordings and to re-release out-of-print music that fits our aesthetic, while always bringing new artists to the forefront
