The iconic label began reissuing its out-of-print catalog last year.

Hideo Ikeezumi, founder of the legendary Japanese experimental label P.S.F. Records, has died, a friend of his announced on Facebook today.

Ikeezumi is best known for his beloved label which he ran on the simple rule that “I only release what I like”. From that, P.S.F. championed iconic Japanese artists including Keiji Haino, Acid Mothers Temple, Ghost while providing a platform for everything from psychedelic rock to folk to punk to jazz to avant-garde music.

Last year, the P.S.F catalog was acquired by new LA label Black Editions in order to reissue the many out-of-print releases. Ikeezumi worked with Black Editions-found Peter Kolovos to remaster his label’s catalog to the highest available quality and bring many of them to vinyl for the first time.
