Founded in 2002, based in Mar del Plata and Buenos Aires, Argentina, Casa del Puente Discos begins with the quest to create a unique unclassified catalogue of music, which includes local talents as well as a selection of international licenses for the South American market. Casa del Puente Discos released the work of exemplary electronic musicians such as Flavius E., Audioperú, Leandro Fresco, Gustavo Lamas, and Emisor. The compilations “Casa Disco” and “Casa Arena” will be remembered as a remarkable sample of the sound of an era. The label's catalogue was present in two editions of the Sónar Festival, Miami Winter Conference and in a showcase in Halcyon Record Store (Brooklyn, NY); Lamas, Fresco and Emisor visited Mutek Mexico; and the collaboration of international electronic music icons is very much frequent in the remix versions of the label artists. Moreover, it opened a paramount place for Mar del Plata´s local artists, Acampante, Pura, Isidoros, Run Run, Altocamet, Tomates en Verano. Casa del Puente Discos got the first official licences for the South American edition of Swedish band The Radio Dept., American groups as Deerhoof, Asobi Seksu, Of Montreal, Finish musician Luomo, German artist Wechsel Garland, and Peruvian band Resplandor. In addition to editing already established artists, they bet on new emerging local talents such as Sobrenadar, BK, Jerónimo Escajal, Niños del Parque, Asalto al Parque Zoológico, Riel, Pyramides. Licenses began to multiply, introducing more international releases, DIIV, Craft Spells, Snowbird, Ashrae Fax, Tamaryn, Mac DeMarco, Slowdive, Drab Majesty, Them Are Us Too, SRSQ among others. This led the label to make some incredible tours in South America where Argentine and local artists from each city shared the stage with, Drab Majesty, Tamaryn, DIIV, The Stargazer Lilies, Pale Dian, Tennis System in cities like Santiago and Valparaíso (Chile), Buenos Aires and Mar del Plata (Argentina), Rio and São Paulo (Brazil), Lima and Cuzco (Perú), Bogotá and Medellín (Colombia).
