Homestead Records was a New York City based sublabel of Dutch East India Trading. It was founded in 1983 as a venue for experimental music and is considered instrumental in launching the noise rock genre. For a long time the label was managed by Gerard Cosloy, who signed many of the notable acts. Cosloy was succeeded by Ken Katkin and later by Steven Joerg. The label's last release was Ivo Perelman's Cama de terra in 1996.
