Flying Mountain is an independent record label specialising in East/West fusions from a variety of standpoints. We like to 'mix it up' and are equally at home with Indian master drummers and stringed instruments as we are discussing the finer points of turntablism within a sampled groove. Music has no limits and neither do we.

Drongomala on his liner notes for Scale says "All music made by folk is folk music, all music made in the world is world music and ethnic music is the punchline to a joke that was never funny in the first place." We are aware that this annoys the ethnopimps using these terms but what you gonna do?

Kick-starting the label are two records by Drongomala called Scale and 100 Fields and a new collaboration to the label Elemental.

After that check out the bright fuse and short life of The Good Hurt, the melancholy of Louis Oak Anderson.

Nice to meet you and if want to know more or you feel like you can help our good cause then don't hesitate to drop us a line.

An interesting aside....in Hindu lore and prehistory all mountains had wings but the problem was they used to arse around and make alot of noise - they would do they were massive. Eventually the Gods became angry and came down from heaven and cut all the wings off the mountains. The only mountain that was spared was 'Mainakam' which was swimming in a lake and escaped the wing-cull. Mainakam is a place just outside Cochin, Kerala and that's where we stayed and came up with the name for the label. Now you know!
