Angular Recording Corporation is an independent record label originally based in New Cross, South East London. Set up in June 2003 by two ex-Goldsmiths College students, Joe Daniel and Joe Margetts who reclaimed a local Ordnance Survey Triangulation Station and made it their first artefact: ARC 001. The label's founders claim to have been influenced by a love of angular pop music and the legendary Manchester label Factory Records. Gaining funding through medical testing, Angular Recording Corporation was able to finance its debut release in November 2003, the NME championed 'The New Cross : An Angular Sampler'. This compilation included tracks by the soon-to-be famous Bloc Party, Art Brut, Ladyfuzz and The Vichy Government among others. The label has since released singles by The Long Blondes, Klaxons (for whom Joe Daniel temporarily played Bass in summer 2007 when Jamie Reynolds broke his leg) and Navvy.
