Transparent Records is an independent record label established in 2008 by Sahil Varma and Jack Shankly. It is based in South London, and was originally established as a print zine before becoming a full-fledged label. Shankly has said that they decided to do so because it seemed like "a logical extension from the other things we were doing at the time – running a fanzine, then a clubnight and a blog etc."[1] The first record released on the label was an album by Emil & Friends. According to Shankly, the songs released by the label have one thing in common—they are "all pop songs."[2] Transparent was among the first labels to release Disclosure records, including the 2011 song "Carnival."[3]
