Mystery Zone Records is an independent label on a mission to share dance music of the American South with the world. Often overlooked, never overstated, the American South has served as the cultural bedrock of nearly every major musical movement of the 20th century through the present day. From Blues to Jazz, Funk, Disco, Boogie, House, Electro, Techno, Breakbeat, and beyond - the South lead the way. MZR seeks to celebrate the musical legacy of this troubled but triumphant region, and make space for modern artists across the South to share their sound and sensibility with a global audience. In addition to releasing new and exciting music, the label also hosts a number of roaming party series showcasing talent from across the region, powered by our in-house custom mobile HiFi, Mystery Zone Soundsystem. Based in Austin, Texas. Distributed by Above Board Distribution, London UK.

Mystery Zone Records is operated and curated by Hiatt dB. Born in San Antonio, Hiatt has made it a mission to champion the sounds and styles of the American South. His DJ sets and personal productions seek to underscore the shared influences, techniques, and goals between vintage and modern house, breaks, acid, disco, funk, boogie, and their often overlooked roots in the region.
