About

Slaapwel Records is a small record label specialized in music to fall asleep to. Often I find myself lying awake in bed, not sleepy enough to fall asleep, not lively enough to keep doing stuff. I figured it would be good if there was more music that soundtracks the thin border between being asleep and lying awake, deliberately choosing the sleepy side of things. So I set out, looking for people that would be good at making mind-soothing songs. I ask them to write a sleep-inducing record, I listen to it, and when I fail to reach the end because I fell asleep, I release it as a musical record. All artists are various people I met through the years, different yet all connected with their unique talent. I think they are very good at making "boring" music. This is not an insult. I love their music to death and I think they are all very capable of making wonderful sleep-inducing songs. In any case, don't make too much of it. It is all just good fun. Sleepy fun.

Some Pictures of the Labelnights

The labelnights were awesome! I might write a more elaborate review of that later. Here are three pictures of the room, right before the audience was allowed to get in. I didn't take any pictures during the concerts/night for the simple reason that the sound of my shutter was louder than the music! (Also, these pictures are a lot brighter than the actual lighting in the room). It was lovely. Hopefully we can do this again some time ...
