One of the longest running Norwegian undergroud labels, dBut Recordings was founded in 1989 by Per Platou (also a member of Nood). It had a very eclectic profile, encompassing rock, avantgarde and electronic music. In 1997 Per Platou didn't want to run the label anymore and handed over the whole operation (old back catalogue included) to Andreas Gilhuus, Jon Birger Wormdahl and Rolf Even Evensen, who turned it into a more electronic-oriented label (although it still releases records in a wide range of styles). It was also renamed to dBut Records, and got a new cat.no. sequence with the prefix "ndbut" ("new dBut"). Currently, dBut has two sublabels - Tamburin and Tamburito - dedicated to twelve-inch and seven-inch releases, respectively.
