Important / Influential Electronic Music Labels

Hi Watmm. I thought it would be interesting to make a list of the most influential / important electronic listening music labels. I've just started the research for this but I thought it might be of interest to others if I posted my findings thus far. Thanks for reading and feel free to educate me. Cheers!

May be the ultimate cliche "electronica label" but they got me into Chemical Brothers and Basement Jaxx, and from there to IDM, DnB, Techno, and well, about anything discussed on this forum.

A few off the top of my head that I saw missing, there are way more.

Trax Records

Metroplex

R & S Records

Carpark

Eerik Inpuj Sound

Cock Rock Disco

Bunker Records

Attack Nine

Icasea

Alpha Pup (this includes Brainfeeder and mean other EPIC sub-labels)

All City

Breakin' Records

No one has mentioned Wax Trax! yet?

wax trax (for braintree but also cause i love them)

soleilmoon recordings, bringing us Muslimgauze, rapoon, zoviet france, reformed faction, and countless other classic dark ambient and ethereal electronic releases

surprised no one mentioned the label that brought us Depeche Mode, Pan Sonic, and Meat Beat Manifesto

old Virgin Records hippy Richard Branson brought us Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, Faust and a shit load of other imported krautrock

industrial records, the term coined by gues member of Throbbing Gristle monte cazzaza

introducing Cabaret Voltaire, Throbbing Gristle, Clock DVA, and Richard H kirk

i think im too old for this forum and/or took the title too literally, i may have misinterpreted this as the most important/influential electronic music labels of all time not just of the last 15 years.

mo wax maybe?

haven't heard a peep from them in awhile and their web is down. wonder whats going on?

first time i heard anything remotely 'breakcore'

too short of an end to such a fantastic label, exposed the world at large to Venetian Snares, nommo ogo, and O.S.T. (dalglish) and i feel very privileged that i got to release on it before wai passed.
