History
Prior to the record label's founding in 2011, BTSM used to throw monthly electronic music parties at Le Belmont Nightclub, located in Montreal, called "Kannibalen" (lit. 'Cannibals').[2][3][4] Once BTSM officially formed Kannibalen Records, the name was picked due to its homage to the parties' theme of being "gory and gruesome".[5]
Kannibalen was founded as an in-between option that both smaller labels and the bigger labels, such as the Big three, didn't ideally offer for up-and-coming artists. BTSM wanted a record label that operates under a "free-but-focused" business philosophy. This meant two things for artists: Firstly, artists would exercise more "creative and timeline control" than what big labels typically have while simultaneously taking all the responsibility for setting and meeting their own expectations.[1][6] Secondly, Kannibalen would offer benefits such as the business administration and marketing aspects of being an artist and have networking opportunities with promoters and artists in the electronic music industry; Both aspects that smaller labels lacked.[7][8][2][3]
Kannibalen also releases its bi-weekly podcast called Kannibalen Radio: an hour-long DJ mix showcasing "unreleased tracks by well-known and undiscovered electronic music producers" within and outside the label.[9][10]
Kannibalen also has partnerships with third-party companies in the television, movie, and advertising industries.[11]
