# Sublime Frequencies

Sublime Frequencies és un segell discogràfic amb seu a Seattle, Washington que se centra exclusivament en l'adquisició i l'exposició de paisatges foscos i sons de les fronteres urbanes i rurals, tant modernes, com tradicionals, majoritàriament del Sud-est asiàtic, Nord d'Àfrica i l'Orient mitjà.
Els seus llançaments es divideixen principalment en quatre categories: enregistraments de camp, compilacions de música folk i música pop, collages de ràdio de localitats geogràfiques específiques, i DVDs. La companyia és dirigida per Alan Bishop i Hisham Mayet. Les seves emissions es produeixen en quantitats limitades (en general 1.000 exemplars), i no solen ser reimpresses després que aquestes còpies es venguin, de manera que alguns dels llançaments de la companyia queden fora de catàleg.
