WHO WE ARE
MTHRBORD was founded in 2021 by VILL4IN in the pursuit of releasing the most compelling up and coming underground art and music without limits.
No Genres, No Politics, No BS.
Art is subjective as is everything in life. All our energy is used to push well-deserved art and music into the world and nothing else.
Our distribution centre and studio is located in Toronto, Canada side by side an art school for kids. The main headquarters and mentality is formed in Mexico City.



OUR MISSION
Our goal is for underground / independent music and visual art to have a force and relevance amongst the powers of industry corporate labels. We believe that things can be done differently and can be more progressive compared to what is being done.
We avoid gatekeeping in every way we can.
We do not discriminate. We constantly look for different ‘internet’ music scenes online where we can help create official releases typically with pressing vinyl so they be heard amongst underground music listeners and collectors.
We do not want to take control of any scene’s development and placement, we just want different scenes to be known across listeners.
In addition we believe video visual artists need more appreciation and believe VHS is the perfect format to support them. Visual art is growing with artists, techniques and styles which needs its own proper respect.

We provide distribution to small record shops. We want to keep distribution to a minimum (avoiding large chain-stores entirely) but if you run a small independent shops we are happy to work with you. Email us at [email protected] with information about your store including social media info, etc.
We do NOT want to work with people who just resell on eBay and Discogs. Ensure that we do in-depth searches to prevent this.
