Altin Village & Mine

Altin Village & Mine is an independent German music label founded in 2002. Originally based in Dresden and Leipzig until December 2008, it has operated from Leipzig since mid-2009. The label grew out of the so-called DIY scene, initially serving as a platform for the first release of its founders' own band. Over time it expanded its roster to include international artists such as Future Islands, Deerhoof, Xiu Xiu, Fenster, and Phoebe Killdeer & The Shift with Maria de Medeiros, as well as German acts including Die Goldenen Zitronen, Von Spar, The Robocop Kraus, Sven Kacirek, and Yage. From 2008 to 2011 the label organized a two-day festival called La Familia Y Amigos each May in the friendly Leipzig clubs Conne Island and UT Connewitz. The festival was presented by media outlets and organizations including TAZ, Jungle World, Spex, Ventil Verlag, Testcard, Opak, Persona Non Grata, Beatpunk, and Rote Raupe. The label remains active and is documented on Discogs as Altin Village & Mine Records.
