Soleilmoon Recordings is an American record label that began in 1987 as a cassette label, operating from the back of a record shop called the Ooze in Portland, Oregon, US.

The first releases were by Smegma, Muslimgauze, Coil, and Nocturnal Emissions. In 1991 the shop was sold and Soleilmoon became a full-time label.

Hate music designation

On February 15, 2017, Soleilmoon was declared a provider of hate music by the Southern Poverty Law Center for distributing albums by Death in June, and Boyd Rice's project NON.[1] Charles Powne, the label's owner, denied that Soleilmoon was racist, and said that Douglas Pearce and Rice are not racist either.[1] This designation has since been rephrased at Southern Poverty Law Center's Hate Map to distributing hate music.[2]
