SM001 …I dunno, I don’t have those associations, so maybe its easier to cherry-pick tracks that I like without the baggage, but I do find it weird that people don’t make the same assumptions about folk that listen to other, popular (in a v niche, middle-aged way) labels.
Regarding genres, if you don’t use them it genuinely isn’t a problem… the only filter should be, '‘who has made stuff in the past that I like’, be it producers or labels, I honestly can’t think of a single occasion where I’ve searched something on the basis of it being ‘organic’ or ‘progressive’
