History
Deep Elm Records originally started out in New York City, and according to founder John Szuch, was formed to help build and support the local music scene. Deep Elm's first release was the single "Anthemic Tune" by Curdlefur in 1995. Their first album was released by Camber in March 1997.
In 2006 Deep Elm Records signed their first UK act Free Diamonds. As of 2008, Deep Elm stopped pressing physical CDs and vinyl, effectively becoming a digital only label. The label has a promotion where they give away 99 songs free to every person. Deep Elm is also highly active in the licensing of music to TV / Film / Commercials.
The label has adamantly refused to be bought out by a larger company, and are currently located in Maui, Hawaii.
