Tigerbeat6 is a San Francisco and Berlin based independent and (mostly) electronic record label run by
Kid606 (Miguel De Pedro). The label is run as a
DIY operation and releases a variety of electronic music styles, including
noisecore,
intelligent dance music,
bedroom pop,
folktronica, and electronica-driven
hip hop.
The name reflects De Pedro's obsession with cats, which also comes to light in the catalogue numbers, all of which start with MEOW. It is also a loose reference to the top-selling teen magazine ''
Tiger Beat''. The label's first release was in 2000; it has over two hundred releases in total. 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."
