Following the dissolution of [l2525] in May 2017, [a178718] reactivated [l830872], now just called Noton. Founded by Carsten Nicolai in 1994, it began activities in 1996 with the release of Noto's Spin. A collaboration with Rastermusic began the same year, and by 1999 the two labels had merged into Raster-Noton. In 2017, Noton started working independently again by releasing Alva Noto's entire back catalogue and collaborations.
