Six Degrees is an eclectic, independent music label that produces and markets genre-bending, accessible recordings that explore world music, ambient, folk, contemporary classical, and intelligent pop music. Through consistency of quality, distinctive visual presentation and creative and aggressive marketing, we strive to create releases that stand out from the pack and offer a real alternative to consumers who are looking to discover new sounds from around the world.

Originally distributed by Island Records (US), it went independent in 2000 after temporarily ceasing operations in 1998. Ironically, in 2006, the label signed a distribution pact with Fontana Distribution, whose parent is the successor to the company that distributed it in its first incarnation.
