If you're looking for a label to send demos or tracks to - feel free to send them to us

Hello,
I noticed a lot of posts on the internet are about topics like "I'm looking for a label to send demos to", "I'm a new producer and want to send out tracks", "does anyone knows some labels that accept demos?".

In this case, feel free to send them to us.
We're always on the look-out for new artists and tracks and are open to submissions.
The label is a free NYP DIY online label, mainly based on bandcamp (so no spofity etc. crap), although some tracks found their way onto vinyl, dub plates, or other places in the past :-)

There is no money incentive or interest, we just want to push the kicking hard underground sound!

We are especially interested in new / unknown producers, and those that do stuff that is different from the rest / more out-there, strange, experimental, bold.

Because we noted that a lot of labels just release the same well-known producers over and over again, and, frankly, this is a bit boring! No point in trying to repeat that.

The label has been split into 3 sub-categories now:

Omnicore Records - the label that is most likely fitting to most producers, as it is about *all* styles of Hardcore Techno and Gabber House.
Acidcore, Speedcore, Oldschool, Terror, Trancecore, whatever... if it kicks, it fits!
Over the years there has been a tendency towards releases in early hardcore, or 90s style in general.

The only exception is: we don't like "commercial" or "mainstream" styles of Hardcore, so please send no Uptempo, Frenchcore, "Mainstyle", "Millennium" etc.

Doomcore Records - the "original" label that started it all.
This is the one for Doomcore and Darkcore styles, also darker Techno, Acid, or even EBM / Industrial influenced stuff.

Slowcore Records - Well, nomen est omen! The sub-label for Slowcore. Hardcore, Techno, Gabber, and everything else, that is slower than 130 bpm.

And also a bit of background information about me and the labels (so you know what you're dealing with :-)

I've been "active in the Hardcore scene in 4 decades" (like someone else said), played a lot of gigs, but nowadays spend more time writing e-books about Hardcore that no-one reads ;-) and running the labels, plus a few other things.

The labels exist for over 10 years now, there have been over 300 releases, and the label or its tracks have been mentioned in music magazines all around the world, like Wire, Groove, Pitchfork, FACT, Crack, and so on,

Artists that have released on the label(s) include Nkisi, Taciturne, Brandon Spivey, Pardonax, Syrius 23...


So, if the above sounds interesting, feel free to send some demos or tracks our way.
If you're looking to become a commercial hardcore star by a release - then it probably won't work out.

But if you want to share some banging sounds with the scene and the world, the label might just be the right thing!

Free Spirit - Ancient Craving - Part 2

We feel that Free Spirit's "Ancient Craving Part 1" was one of the best pod casts we released.

His new mix rides the rift between Electro, Techno, Drone, Hardcore and Doomcore.
Deep, down, experimental, and enigmatic.

Hamburg Hardcore Anthem - The Remixes

Hamburg is one of the main megalopoleis that gave rise to what we know as hardcore techno and gabber now; and to later genres such as speedcore, breakcore, or doomcore..

It was long due for its own anthem - and it got one in 2020.
This "Hamburg Hardcore Anthem" proved to be a true sleeper hit (suiting for a city where no-one is getting any sleep), with thousands of plays on YouTube, SoundCloud, and fans all over the world.

So it was time to go back to it again - and push it with new versions and remixes; by veteran and newcomer artists alike.
Just like the track, the styles are all over the map, too: speedcore, terror, oldschool, extratone, doomcore.
And there are even two bonus tracks and their remixes: "Your Suffering" and "Raise Above It All".

Can you dig the sound of Hamburg Hardcore?

Analogue Slowcore Attack 2

With this release, Origin of Styx continues on the path that he began with the first in the series. The discontinuation of "traditional" Hardcore / Doomcore / Gabber genres, and the start of something different.
It's an eclectic and experimental mixture that, apart from plenty of fresh elements, reminds one of 60s 70s electronics (Goblin!), EBM, Gothtronica, 80s house / acid, and a whole lot more.

A release for those who are interested in a new branch of the Slowcore & Techno genre.

1. Acid Massacre 03:38
2. Chronic Fatigue 02:34
3. Crawling Doom 01:52
4. Dafuk 02:44
5. Despondency 02:51
6. Distraught 03:18
7. Evil Lurks 02:39
8. Hope For The Future 02:04
9. Lonesome 02:34
10. Tinnitus Of The Nervous System 04:01
