Overview
Polymoon is an independent Dutch record label and artist services company founded in 2022 by producer Wouter Budé and marketer Christiaan Nijburg. Based in Maasbracht, Netherlands, the label grew out of the 27 Tapes session platform, where Budé and Nijburg discovered their complementary skills. Budé brought experience in music production and the Moon Music Studio in Maasbracht, while Nijburg, formerly with PIAS and V2, contributed a broad network and expertise in music marketing. As Budé explained in an interview with Pop in Limburg, "The music world has become very democratized. You can use applied marketing to bring things to market. Christiaan has a large network, while I am very much involved in the content side. If you put those two worlds together, a lot can be realized." Polymoon works with the in-house Moon Music Studios and provides marketing and label services, focusing on creative concepts and digital campaigns. For digital distribution, Polymoon partners with FUGA. For physical distribution of Polymoon releases and digital distribution of Télès Music, they collaborate with PIAS. Télès Music, founded in 2022 as a sub-label of Polymoon, focuses primarily on contemporary music. The label's roster includes artists such as A. Johanson, Brent Beukelaer, Challem, Galine, Gregory Ackerman, Gildor, MADOUX, Moonloops, Noa Lee, Renata Louisa, Rosa Butsi, Slow Pilot, Subterranean Street Society, The Feather, Tayyib Ali, Theo Bleak, and Vic Willems. The official website highlights a roster of over 20 artists, including Daan, Noa Lee, FÄM, Michael Prins, Penny Roox, Agnès Botty, Patches, Säm Wilder, and Sterre Weldring. Polymoon has released numerous albums since its founding, including Tayyib Ali's "Indigenous" (2023), Gildor's "Silent River" (2023), Noa Lee's "Airship" (2023), Rosa Butsi's "Fruitful Days" (2023), Moonloops' "Little Astronaut, Big Dreams" (2024), Challem's "The Road" (2024), Subterranean Street Society's "Bleep" (2024), Brent Beukelaer's "Ramen Als Ogen" (2024), A.

As an independent label, Polymoon remains privately owned by its founders and continues to operate from the Netherlands, serving artists in the Netherlands, Belgium, and internationally through digital distribution.
