Planet Dog Records is a small record label based in London, UK, known for its innovative ambient, techno, breakbeat, and psychedelic trance releases. [1] [2] It is part of the same organisation headed by Michael Dog (real name Michael Sassen) that ran Club Dog in London and the touring Megadog parties, and was created as a promotional vehicle for the participating artists. [3] [4] [5] [6] It was most active from 1993 to 1998, releasing recordings by Eat Static, [7] Banco de Gaia, Children of the Bong, Timeshard, and Future Loop Foundation. The label went on to have a turbulent relationship with its artists in 1999, that included its catalogue being taken into receivership largely due to the financial troubles of its UK distributor A&M-affiliated Ultimate. [1]
Many Planet Dog Records releases were re-released in the United States on Mammoth Records. [8]
