Liberation is a totally independent Australasian record label with offices in Sydney, Melbourne and Auckland. It is the recorded music arm of Michael Gudinski''s Mushroom Group of Companies, and was started in November 1999 by Gudinski and Warren Costello with the view to building a multi-purpose label from the ground up that would create, promote and market exciting new music in all formats.

Our mission statement is simple -

1. First and foremost to find, nurture and market new Australasian talent to the world''s markets;

2. To license quality international repertoire for the local market, and

3. To create purpose-built compilation projects with the strongest available media and corporate partners.

New music is constantly coming from Liberation, Ivy League and Liberator. Just follow links for further information!

Liberation are also actively involved in the DVD market and have released a number of quality titles by local and international acts, with more to follow.

Why is Liberation Music?

Because a human dynamo like Michael Gudinski can''t rest on his laurels. After playing an integral role in Australasian popular culture through his ownership of Mushroom Records up until its sale in 1998, Michael wanted a new and exciting challenge. Liberation Music is the focus of that energy.
