Tigerbeat6 is a San Francisco and Berlin based independent and (mostly) electronic record label run by Kid606. The label is run as a DIY operation and releases a variety of electronic music styles, including noisecore, intelligent dance music, bedroom pop, folktronica, and electronica-driven hip hop.

Club described the same compilation as satirizing glitch through "gestures borrowed from punk, indie-rock, and hip-hop."
