Electric Tones is an independent record label owned and run by British composer and producer Tim Simenon. The label, which is based in Amsterdam, was launched in 2000, and is dedicated to the release of electronic-based compositions, generally fitting into the field known as Electronica.
Because of certain similarities between Electronica's compositional, production and editing styles, and aspects of the more mainstream Dance music genre, the two worlds sometimes overlap. It is not uncommon for certain artists to move between the two scenes - as with label boss, Tim Simenon.
Simenon very occasionally releases his own compositions through the label, either under the alias of Bomb The Bass or as the more experimental Flow Creator.

Famous quotes containing the words electric and/or tones:
“Persons grouped around a fire or candle for warmth or light are less able to pursue independent thoughts, or even tasks, than people supplied with electric light. In the same way, the social and educational patterns latent in automation are those of self- employment and artistic autonomy.”
—Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)
“And this mighty master of the organ of language, who knew its every stop and pipe, who could awaken at will the thin silver tones of its slenderest reeds or the solemn cadence of its deepest thunder, who could make it sing like a flute or roar like a cataract, he was born into a country without literature.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
