Central Processing Unit, commonly referred to as CPU Records,[1][2][3] is an independent British record label, founded in Sheffield in 2012[4] by Chris Smith,[5][6][7][8][9] and notable for bridging contemporary electronic music with the early Sheffield Bleep era, and being at the forefront of contemporary electro music.[10][11][12][13][14][15][16] Distributed by [17] London UK. The label uses a binary catalog number system for its releases which means that it will only allow for a total of 256 releases.[18] Many of the label's releases are mastered in Smith's Computer Club Sheffield studio.[19] In 2019 the label launched their own studio filter module called The CPU Filter, modelled on the classic Roland Jupiter-6 filter.[20] The label is also parent to the sub label Computer Club[21] records which released electronic music from 2013-2018.
