Narita Records

Started in May of 2004, Narita Records was an offshoot label of Miami based imprint Merck, intended to put out more dancefloor oriented music than the parent label. Like Merck, Narita closed its doors eventually in late 2008, after releasing a CD compilation putting together some of the previous vinyl only tracks that had not seen a CD release. The label was managed by Gabe Koch of Merck in Miami, and manufactured in Europe and distributed from the UK. The label slogan was 'Putting the D back in IDM'. All the vinyl center label designs were done by Erik Skodvin.
