The universe is infinitely rich beyond comprehension.  If you don’t believe me, try making a shortlist of reissue record labels.  Keeping up with the number of cool re-releases, obscure gems, and must-have collector’s finds that come across our desks on a daily basis is honestly a little exhausting.  The tsunami of music nerdery can make you want to fill your playlist with top 40, or even better, silence, and then take a long, consciousness-obliterating nap.

But fear not, MTV Iggy is here to help.  We’ve gone ahead and plunged into the vortex that is the indie label online catalog and returned with vintage treasures from all over the globe, so you don’t have to.  Here are ten labels pulling out sounds from the archives that belong on your Iggy playlist.

So let’s blast off into a world beyond time and space!
