Never Say Die Records (NSD) was a British independent electronic music record label well-known for releasing bass music, dubstep, drum and bass, and trap music tracks.[1] The record label was founded in London on July 17, 2009 by two dubstep artists: Thomas "SKisM" Petais[2] and Nicholas "Mobscene" Sadler.[3] The label has been home to artists such as Dodge & Fuski, Eptic, Habstrakt, Megalodon, LAXX, Must Die!, Zomboy,[4] and many more. On December 7, 2009, NSD released its very first single, with remixes from other artists, called Ruffneck 09 by Ctrl-Z & The Freestylers with vocals from Reggae artist Navigator.

History
Summarize
Perspective
Petais founded the NSD because he "wanted to continue making bass music and working in the industry" due to the decline of the breaks scene; a scene he used to be in.[5] The name "Never Say Die" is a reference to a quote "Goonies Never Say Die" from the 1985 film called The Goonies. Petais owned merchandise from the film, and selected the name for the label because of that fact.[5][6]
Sadler resigned from his position as a Director on March 31, 2015.[3]
Never Say Die moved its headquarters twice: first from London to Birmingham, England in 2016[3] and, finally to its current location, from Birmingham to Clacton-on-Sea, England in 2021.[3]
In 2015, NSD launched a sub-label called Black Label where its "darker"-themed tracks were released.[7] Its final track on Black Label was released on March 24, 2021.[8]
On April 2, 2022, NSD announced that it would no longer release any more tracks in 2022 due to its team "achiev[ing] everything [it] set out to do (and more...)" and wanting "to move onto other things".[9][10][11] The record label hasn't legally dissolved, thus making the label inactive instead.[3]
Controversy with Disciple Records
In 2013, NSD's founders co-founded, along with Dodge & Fuski, Disciple Records. In 2017, Petais accused Disciple Records, via Facebook and Twitter, of "copying [NSD's] marketing scheme". Disciple Records acknowledged that while NSD "contributed towards early label expenses..." and "introduc[ed]. numerous contacts" to set itself up for success, it rebutted by stating that it wasn't a "marketing ploy on [Disciple's] part".[12]
