Duh, those labels have been putting out good music for a while
For me I've been enjoying discovering new and old stuff on labels I hadn't known much about before like Plug Research, Guidance, Late Night Audio, Mojuba
I went through Plug Research' catalog on beatport the other night and bought like 15 tracks.

Yeah, I know that now. But a little over a year ago I didn't know most of them even existed.
I've been listening a lot to albums released on Dial.

+1
All the labels you have listed put out music that I've only gotten fully into in the last half year or so, and as such are the labels I've been religiously following/trawling through their back catalogues this year. I would have to say Contexterrior would be the standout label over the last while for me, seems every single release is an absolute bomb, particularly the Shonky and Dachshund releases.

Oh, FAVORITE labels.
Uh. Lately I've just been buying up a lot of music from the 90s and early 2000s. I've been staying away from too much new stuff, focusing more on getting older stuff I've missed over the years.
