Cantaloupe Music is a Brooklyn-based record label that produces and releases
Naxos in North America and worldwide by Naxos Global Logistics.[1]
History
Cantaloupe Music was launched in March 2001 with the release of the Bang on a Can All Stars recording Renegade Heaven. "It's no secret that over the last five years or so, the record industry has been constantly going through shifts," Gordon told Billboard at the time. "Companies are being bought and sold, and it seems to us that there's more emphasis on profitability and very big records. We're trying to build Cantaloupe on a different kind of model — more like a small press that has a long-term relationship with a small number of artists."[2]
