Dear Visitor,

To be brutally honest, we're not absolutely sure what this is record label is about, what it's really for. The basic idea for IFC was to help the emergence of new music, and well, that's a good enough plan in itself. You know, just to have something positive, something that would add, rather than subtract, something of a backbone for being active and productive.

What we'll try to offer the consumers, the listeners: easy access to good music at low prices. We'll strive to de-mystify and de-commercialize the production of music, bring out net radio transmissions, free all-ages club nights and so on. To the bands in the IFC stable we will offer: our personal know-how and energy, a way to do things on your own without large corporations or crazy budgets.

In this crazy age, bringing your music out to people can be a strangely difficult and tiring deal and we're here to offer what little we know. We're in this for the journey, not the destination. We're learning and we feel we're going to get it right. Join in.

Take care,

Teppo Jalava
Ville Könönen

And oh yeah, on a lighter note, if you're trying to come up with a cool name for a record label, see if you find one you like from the names we bounced around during a few long caffeine-filled nights...
