Subconscious Communications (originally Subconscious Records) is an independent record label based in Toluca Lake, California.[2] Originating in Vancouver, B.C., Canada,[3] it was founded in 1993 by Dwayne Goettel of Skinny Puppy and Phil Western of Download.[1] The label has been described as a "record label, musician collective, remix team, 32-track digital studio, [and an] analogue synth museum."[4]

  1. ^ a b * CDBaby.com states, "Phillips first release - which came out on the pairs label Subconscious" thus providing debate as to whether Phillips actually started the label with him, or was merely one of the first contributors. In an interview with cEvin Key in 1997 he stated "Dwayne and Phil actually started the original version of it by putting together a 12-inch, "Power."", thus the duo did in fact create SubCon together.
