V/Vm Test Records

V/Vm Test records was a record label based in Stockport, England and was started by James Leyland Kirby (V/Vm) and Andrew Macgregor (Jansky Noise, Animal) in 1996. It did not have an overseas division, so releases on it tend to be collectable outside of the United Kingdom.

The label released artists works from a wide variety of genres, including noise, soundscape, breakcore, mashup and many more that don't fit comfortably into any genre. Notable acts on V/Vm Test included Jega, Kid606, Hell Interface (Boards of Canada), Kevin Blechdom, Goodiepal, Knifehandchop and Datach'i.

V/Vm Test Records were notable for their rebellious approach, often involving blatant copyright infringement, the most notable of which were the artists V/Vm themselves, often taking a popular song and running it through various filters, the end result being a de-tuned and distorted version of the original. The album Sick Love contains several notable examples of this style, as well as the frequent references to pigs that colour most V/Vm releases.

V/Vm Test was instrumental in giving away free and unrestricted downloads since 1997 on his website and via various V/Vm Test associated Microsites. In 2006, V/Vm set up an additional label, Vukzid, and also a number of extra microsites which gave away free audio and visual content along with working on a unique daily project which saw the artist V/Vm record at least one piece of audio per day which was then uploaded and given away for free (for the whole of 2006).

In 2007, V/Vm Test also launched the Freenoise Archives, which has over 3GB of out of print noise releases available for free download via a microsite.

At the end of 2008, V/Vm Test Records ceased its operations and changed to History Always Favours The Winners.
