They have released music in genres as diverse as dream pop, post-punk and free improvisation. Mostly of their artists are based in Peru, but have also released music by USA based Amma Ateria and Nava Dunkelman, and a compilation of underground electronic music from Switzerland.[2][3]

Luis Alvarado has said his aim for Buh Records is to present Peru's past and present to better tell the story of South American sound experimentation and the avant-garde.[4] They have also hosted a Buh Records Festival, featuring audiovisual presentations and a homage to Walter Smetak.[5][6]

The label has received funding from Peru's ministry of culture, such as for 2021's El fabuloso sonido de Andrés Vargas Pinedo: una colección de música popular amazónica (1966-1974), a compilation featuring the work of flautist Andrés Vargas Pinedo.[7][8]

Their first releases were distributed on CD-R, but later moved to vinyl, cassette tape, and CD.[9]

The Wire magazine has highlighted their work often, and was featured across four pages in their October 2018 issue.[10]
