Tape Club, GETME!, Ground Level, Hottwerk, Infectious, !K7, Killing Moon, Laissez Faire Club, LoJinx, No Pain In Pop, Planet Mu, Stranger Records and Strut.

The Independent Label Market takes place as part of a cooperation with AIM - the Association of Independent Music - in order to support them and allow it to happen.
Alison Wenham, CEO of AIM, said: "Joe and Katie came up with a simple, a great idea, and put it into practice. As AIM is the home of the world’s greatest indie labels, we are naturally delighted to be able to support the development of the Independent Label Market.
"We intend to do this in partnership with WIN, the Worldwide Independent Network, our global trade body."
Joe Daniel, co-founder of Independent Label Market Ltd, added: "It's fantastic that an organisation such as AIM has chosen to support Independent Label Market.
"We are excited to start what we hope to be a long standing and fruitful relationship with AIM."
