Cock Rock Disco is an independent record label started in 2001 by Jason Forrest. The label features breakcore and experimental artists including Forrest himself.
A free full-length Mp3 album was made available in Dec 2005 and remains online and free to download. To date it has been downloaded over 70,000 times. In April 2009 a new free compilation "Monsters of Cock Rock Disco" was released and features newcomers to the label Captain Ahab in addition to their normal roster of artists.
To celebrate the release of the "Monsters of CRD" compilation the label hosted a tour of central Europe with Otto von Schirach, Duran Duran Duran, Nero's Day At Disneyland and Forrest as Dj Donna Summer. The tour lasted 2 weeks and stopped at 10 cities. There was a limited edition poster accompanying the tour that was sold out.
The label currently has (as of Nov 2009) 18 full-length releases, 15 12"-only releases and 19 bi-monthly free MP3 only albums.

“When we were at school we were taught to sing the songs of the Europeans. How many of us were taught the songs of the Wanyamwezi or of the Wahehe? Many of us have learnt to dance the rumba, or the cha cha, to rock and roll and to twist and even to dance the waltz and foxtrot. But how many of us can dance, or have even heard of the gombe sugu, the mangala, nyang’umumi, kiduo, or lele mama?”
—Julius K. Nyerere (b. 1922)
