Blowpipe releases vinyl, cd's, dvd’s and mp3’s in genres like electronics, indie and noise. Blowpipe started in 2002 by Wim Dekker as an outlet for music of his band Smalts. Dekker has been active in the music industry since the end of the 70’s and a longtime Minny Pops member. Active in the Dutch avant-garde post-punk scene named Ultra in Amsterdam and Studio12 in Haarlem. After working for various record companies in the 80s, Dekker switched to filmindustry in the 90s and started publishing arthouse films through his sister company Moskwood Media.
