Overview
Overview
A 2001 compilation of the label's output was described as "stripping intelligent dance music of its intelligence[,] often resorting to outright silliness, and sometimes parody." The A.V. Club described the same compilation as satirizing glitch through "gestures borrowed from punk, indie-rock, and hip-hop." Tigerbeat6 has four sublabels: Shockout, Tigerbass, Violent Turd, and Nibbana.
