Downwards Records

Downwards Records is a record label founded by the techno DJs and producers Regis and Female in Birmingham, England in 1993.^[1] The label was initially established to release the set of tracks that fellow Birmingham DJ and producer Surgeon had recorded in the small studio that ex-Napalm Death drummer Mick Harris had built in his downstairs toilet.^[2]

Although most closely associated with techno's Birmingham sound, which it pioneered, the label has released a wide range of music, from garage rock and shoegaze to industrial music and electronica.^[3]
