The label turned 13 years a while ago, so let's look at some of its laurels.
Over 350 releases so far, together with its two subs.
That makes it the biggest Doomcore Label ever.
It also makes it one of the biggest Hardcore-related labels ever.
One of the biggest labels in Hamburg, Germany.
And one of the biggest DIY labels.
The label and it's releases have been reviewed, praised, or mentioned in most of the major music press publications around the world.
It's releases have been played in clubs, festivals, squat parties, and other gatherings, in countless countries, on all continents, with the - possible - exception of antarctica.
"Doomcore" refers to Doomcore Techno, not Doom Metal.
The label kickstarted quite a few music careers, or underground trajectories.
On the other hand, plenty of established "star" producers of the electronic subculture have released on Doomcore Records.
Doomcore Records spawned a whole new subgenre of music - "Slowcore Techno".
More interesting stuff that happened:
Doomcore Records released the first Doomcore artist in the Dominican Republic.
Also the first Doomcore EP out of China.
A release by a soldier in the Ukraine conflict. Produced close to the frontline. Expressing the nihilism of war and life.
The first Doomcore Techno release in support of LGBTQIA+ rights.
The first release by an Industrial Black Metal artist out of chile.
Tracks produced during the chaos of the first years after the collapse of the Eastern Bloc.
The first entirely "Female Fronted" Doomcore and Dark Techno album.
An album made up of tracks with a runtime of 30-60 minutes each.
Despite the name of the label, a lot of the releases are not strctly Doomcore. There is spoken word, speedcore, chiptune, techno... industrial...
The aim is at the entire range of electronic music.
The first releases had just the artist name and a number. Always the same artwork. No information, no promo, no pics, no marketing, nothing. Because obscurity is king.
Apart from the official vinyl releases, countless of dub-plates exist with the music of the label.
These were just a few of the facts attached to the label.
Stay tuned for more.
