Label
A PLACE FOR PASSION PROJECTS
COMING Q3/2026
Label is where Combustion operates as curator, not consultant. We release work that explores sound beyond brand utility—compositions, collaborations, and cultural experiments that don’t answer to briefs.
This is the editorial arm of a sonic cultural house. While Studio builds identity systems for Fortune 500 clients, Label builds relationships with artists, composers, and sound practitioners working at the intersection of commerce and culture.
Curatorial Perspective
We don’t release everything. We release what merits attention.
Label operates with the same discipline that defines our Studio work—restraint, intentionality, longevity over novelty—but applied to cultural production rather than client deliverables. Each release is chosen because it advances a conversation about what sound can be, not because it serves a marketing objective.
This is taste as infrastructure. Curation as worldview.
The Relationship Between Studio & Label
Studio generates revenue. Label generates legitimacy.
Our commercial work with Fortune 500 brands funds our ability to operate culturally without compromise. Our curatorial work through Label ensures Studio never becomes purely transactional.
This is the ecosystem: client work that’s strategically rigorous, cultural work that’s artistically uncompromising. Both informed by the same belief that sound shapes culture, not just consumer behavior.
The brands we work with in Studio benefit from association with Label’s curatorial perspective. The artists we work with through Label benefit from Studio’s strategic infrastructure and client relationships.
