Quaterstick had all those bands like Rodan, Rachels, June of 44, Shipping News, etc who were all over each other's shit
The New Zealand scene of the 80s and early 90s (labels e.g. Flying Nun and Xpressway) had bands/musicians playing in all sorts of configurations
Siltbreeze/Ohio scene dudes e.g. Ron House, Mike Rep, Jim Shepard, bands like Bassholes, Sam Esh and Hard Black Thing, Ego Summit
Right now the Michigan noise scene with Wolf Eyes, Dog Lady, Sick Llama, M.U.G. Stare Case, Andrew Coltrane, and a pretty much infinite number of other projects
Australian punk scene of the last 4 or so years is a hotbed of crossbreeding bands and labels
Japanese psych and noise scenes of 80s/90s dudes and labels all over each others dicks.
UK Improv scene from the 1960s until now, also UK DIY scene
Probably more if I had time to think about it. And this doesn't even mention Jazz.
US underground of 2000s all those bands like Sunburned Hand, Double Leopards, Mouthus, NNCK, Charalambides that who thing was and still is to an extent one big mess of collabs and interlinked record labels.
