Bleep Labs is an Austin, Texas-based maker of analog and digital electronic instruments, founded in 2006 by John-Mike Reed (known as Dr. Bleep). The company designs and manufactures small-batch synthesizers, noise-makers, drum machines, and light-and-sound devices, often sold as both finished units and DIY kits. Its catalog spans playful, hands-on instruments like the Thingamagoop, Nebulophone, Pico Paso, Bleep Drum, and the Sensory Coupler.

The brand is closely tied to the experimental and circuit-bending end of electronic music, with a reputation for quirky, tactile devices that blur the line between toy, instrument, and art object. Bleep Labs has collaborated on signature devices with artists including Neon Indian (the PAL198X), Dâm-Funk, The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion (Blues Exploder), and Daedelus (DELAYDELUS).

Beyond its product line, Bleep Labs has been active in Austin's DIY electronic music community, co-founding Handmade Music Austin in 2009 with Eric Archer and Dan Green to host workshops and events around homemade instruments and synthesis.

Bleep Labs has 7 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Synthesizers, Audio Samplers, and Sound Modules. Their gear is featured by 5 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock, Electronic, and Jazz. Notable users include Kevin Parker, Nels Cline, and Daedelus.
