Founded by BBC Radio 1 DJ Danny Howard, the UK-based label Nothing Else Matters—also referred to as NEM—releases club-ready electronic music. Its catalogue includes Detlef, Illyus & Barrientos, Lee Foss, Rhythm Masters, Secondcity, and Solardo. The label serves as a platform to break new talent and represent contemporary UK dance sounds, and also operates a global event series inspired by the stripped-back essence of old school raves.
