Hazard Records is an e-label (and former CDR-label), based in Barcelona and running since 1998. That makes it one of the oldest netlabels around. Some of us do not believe in Authorship, others do not believe in Ownership. None of us believe in Intellectual Property.
Our records are hosted at the Internet Archive, freely available in different formats including cd-quality wav files. Please click on one of the links below:
