Death Is Not The End

Death Is Not The End is a London-based record label and NTS radio show founded by Luke Owen, specializing in exploring global folk music, early American folk, blues, gospel, and archival recordings. The label, often abbreviated as DINTE, grew out of Luke’s deep interest in music and ethnomusicology, particularly focusing on rare, crackly, and spiritually rich field recordings from the Deep South and other regions, dating back to the early to mid-20th century. Early releases included reissues of historic recordings like *Angola Prison Spirituals* and compilations of work songs collected by famed folklorists like Alan Lomax. The label combines a passion for musical history with a contemporary approach, curating diverse sounds that connect past and present listening experiences.
