Vandan

Vandan Records was founded in 1995 by music producer and entrepreneur Alex Chen, aiming to promote diverse musical genres, particularly focusing on indie rock, electronic, and world music. The label gained prominence in the early 2000s with the release of critically acclaimed albums from artists such as the indie rock band The Echoes and electronic musician Luma. During the mid-2000s, Vandan expanded its roster to include a variety of genres, signing artists like the folk duo River & Sky and the experimental group Soundwave Collective, which helped solidify its reputation for innovation. In the 2010s, Vandan embraced digital distribution, allowing for a broader global reach, while also launching a sub-label dedicated to emerging artists. The label is recognized for its commitment to artistic integrity and has played a significant role in shaping the independent music landscape. Vandan's legacy continues through its influence on new artists and its ongoing support for creative diversity in music.
