With the meaning of "Arden" being “Great Forest," Arden Records will become an ecosystem for lo-fi music and a natural space for artists to stay connected, build each other up, and produce quality music together. Arden Records was founded by sagun, Jordan Smith (S+ MGMT), and Andrew Kwan (Romantic Music Group) and was inspired by the nostalgic and subtle quality of lo-fi music. Arden Records aims to shift the paradigm of modern lo-fi labels by being the only true artist-first lo-fi label. The debut roster of lo-fi producers on Arden Records include: clay house (visceral, honest, and altogether unique), pecna (musicality and technicality), slow-key (transient), Trankilo (hip-hop beats), wrongnumber (hypnotic serenity) and sagun himself.
