Nomadic Kids Republic is a small label based primarily in Japan. We love mulching, glitching, bleeping, droning, toning and sleeping. We also like milky tea but that‘s another matter. We release various editions with a focus on simplicity and minimalism in design; organic, electronic or just plain weird, in sound.
Nomadic Kids Republic is the culmination of four years worth of work between various artists, designers and musicians who have helped to guide the label to its direction today. Without the help of Davi Liu, Jonathan Jindra (Trills), Leif Folkvord, Ben Jones, Mike Smallfish, Brock Van Wey, Jeremy Bible, Jonny Dillon (Automatic Tasty), Craig Tattersall, Andrew Hargreaves, Danny Norbury, Jason Corder, Jonathan Canupp, Boris Snauwaert, and many more, NKR would not be what it is. Whilst Ian and Christian run the label in its various aspects now, all of the above have had some hand in its development.

We do like to hear demos, but please be aware we are really interested in music to drink tea to, to sleep to and to print, dye and graffiti stuff to. Whilst we like thrash metal for example, it doesn‘t go with tea really.
Please only write if you are interested in the label, don‘t send us blanket requests as we like to feel warm, fuzzy and special…and oddly enough, blanket requests are quite the opposite. ie. be blanket, don‘t blanket…understand? If we don‘t get back to you don‘t worry but also don‘t bombard with emails, it either just ain‘t right or we are lazy, or both. Thank you.
