n5MD is a record label based in Oakland, California. The label was founded by Mike Cadoo in 2000.[1][2]

n5MD started out as a MiniDisc-only label, the label name meaning "No Fives, Minidiscs!" But when Sony DADC Austria stopped manufacturing pre-recorded MDs, n5MD changed over to CDs, continuing to release a few 7" records and eventually moving to 12". Much of the back catalog is available for purchase in MP3 format from the label's web site.[3][4]

The label specializes in more emotive styles of contemporary music, with their releases branching between post-rock,[5] post-classical, experimental music and electronica.[6][7] The label has released over 100 albums to date.[8][9][10][11][12]

n5MD signed with Redeye Worldwide in October 2017 for North American physical and worldwide digital distribution.[13]
