Definition:Music

Definition:Music is an independent record label founded in 2011 by Dimitri Schnider and Akin Oender. The label is based in Zurich, Switzerland, and is closely associated with Schnider’s artist identity as Definition, reflecting a hands-on structure in which the founder is also active in the label’s creative direction.

Operating from Zurich, Definition:Music has positioned itself around a small roster of releases that foreground the work of its core artists. Dimitri Schnider, credited as the label manager and known as Definition, appears as a central figure in the label’s output. Alongside him, artists such as Night Talk and Natascha Polké are among the names most closely linked to the imprint, indicating a focus on developing a consistent circle of collaborators rather than functioning as a broad, high-volume platform.

The label maintains an official web presence at definitionmusic.ch. Beyond its base in Zurich and its founding in 2011, publicly available context emphasizes the label’s identity through the people behind it, with Schnider’s dual role as manager and artist providing a clear point of continuity across the label’s activities.
