What we do
Channel Alt is an independent music platform and record label founded by music producer, broadcaster, DJ and curator CassKidd. We champion emerging artists, alternative sounds and genuine discovery through live events, artist development, music releases, performances, interviews and curated experiences.
Live discovery
Through projects including Channel Alt Live, Crossfade and Alternative Openers, we create spaces for audiences to discover exciting artists and music in real time.
Artist development
We give emerging artists practical opportunities to perform, connect with new audiences, release music and take meaningful steps forward in their careers.
Music and curation
From single releases and compilation albums, to DJ mixes, interviews and online content, Channel Alt merges, music discovery, entertainment and music that sits outside predictable lanes.
Why Channel Alt exists
Because once upon a time, it didn’t. We strive on doing different, being patient with talent but moving with an acquired cultural taste.
Channel Alt exists to help music and ideas travel further, while building a sustainable platform around discovery, community and creative opportunity, online and in person.
