Transparent Records is an independent record label established in 2008 by Sahil Varma and Jack Shankly. It is based in South London, and was originally established as a print zine before becoming a full-fledged label. Shankly has said that they decided to do so because it seemed like "a logical extension from the other things we were doing at the time – running a fanzine, then a clubnight and a blog etc." The first record released on the label was an album by Emil & Friends. According to Shankly, the songs released by the label have one thing in common—they are "all pop songs." Transparent was among the first labels to release Disclosure records, including the 2011 song "Carnival."
