Haute Magie is a multi-format private press micro label based in Austin, TX, bringing together its own releases alongside carefully chosen distro stock from partner labels. Catalog items span formats and artists, from 5 Little Elephants and Mike Bruno to Mushy, BATHAUS, Jen Paul, No Lakes, and Pierre Laporte.
Haute Magie operates as a boutique record label and publisher devoted to the esoteric and the unorthodox. The catalog spans vinyl, cassettes, CDs, bundles, and apparel, each release curated with an eye for the strange and the atmospheric. From full-length pressings to short-run seven-inches, the label's output leans toward the ritualistic, the occult, and the quietly unsettling. Artists on the roster explore dark folk, experimental electronics, and other shadowed corners of underground sound. The label also functions as a distributor, carrying stock from fellow private press and independent imprints, making it a gathering point for collectors who seek music that feels like a relic rather than a product.
Beyond the music itself, Haute Magie positions its releases as objects—physical artifacts meant to be held, studied, and treasured. Cassette editions, compact discs, and printed materials are treated with the same care as the compositions they carry. The site's clean, airy design, dominated by deep blues and neutral panels, reflects this sensibility: minimal clutter, generous space, and a sense that each item on offer has been deliberately chosen. For those navigating the catalog, categories like bundles and apparel extend the label's vision into wearable and collectible forms. Whether exploring the distro section or following a new artist announcement, visitors are invited into a world where the marginal, the mysterious, and the handmade still matter.
