Sumatran Black Records is a record label dedicated solely to the work of Sumatran Black and his various aliases.

Originally from the U.K but currently operating out of Istanbul, Sumatran Black specialises in a unique form of melancholic dark ambient blackness he calls “Necro Chill”. Combining elements of Dark Ambient, Lo-Fi Synthwave and a lot of nostalgia, his work avoids the static cliches of Dark Ambient and is uncynically melodically orientated. His most recent EP, “Elegy for a Lost Cosmonaut”, was met with general acclaim, with Bandcamp describing it as“genre-defining”.

A prolific producer, Sumatran Black is the creative force behind Black Box Memories, Ataşehir , and Camomile Dawn. He is also one half of geopolitical electronic duo Haram Tapes.
