The term "outsider dance" was first coined in 2012 by DJ Ben UFO and music journalist Scott Wilson,[2] referring to different producers and record labels "operating at the fringes of the fringes" such as Laurel Halo and labels including L.I.E.S., Opal Tapes, Future Times, 1080p, and Lobster Theremin. Outsider house is also closely related to technoise,[3] a fusion of techno and noise music.
