Nothing To Commit Records is a research and publishing platform committed to the production and expansion of knowledge related to contemporary art, writing and music within and across the global South. It operates as a platform, record label, and collection. The project is dedicated to working with writers, artists, composers, curators, musicians, programmers and DJs to encourage dialogue and collaborations between practitioners globally. One of the platform’s more directed concerns is dedicated to exploring the social and ideological signification of sound and music to rethink the social, spatial and geopolitical. Its collection of artist-produced records serves to produce an archive for future consideration and exploration.
Nothing To Commit Records hosts a collection of audio material, including artist produced vinyl records, that challenge, critique and provide alternate trajectories of imagining historical processes, diasporic formations, national and cultural identities, and encounters and contact zones brought about by coloniality and modernity. Additionally, the collection features idiosyncratic and subjective purchases.
