Informatie
!K7 Records is renowned as one of the most diverse labels for electronic music. International success with artists like Apparat, When Saints Go Machine, Brandt Brauer Frick, and New Look make !K7 one of the influential independent labels worldwide.
The story of international success finds its beginnings way back in 1985. It all started with the idea of releasing digital video clips and specially mixed DJ sets to go with them: the X-Mix series was born. Those brilliantly compiled mixes helped X-Mix to great recognition among the club scene while the video clips proved to be award-winning all over the globe.
10 years later, the DJ-Kicks series came to life. A revolutionary concept was realized since complete albums with DJ cuts to be used in your home stereo were completely unknown at that time. Thrilled by the idea of bringing the vibrant sound of the dancefloor to the listener's home, music innovators such as Kruder & Dorfmeister, Nightmares On Wax, Thievery Corporation and Booka Shade, Apparat, Gold Panda & Juan MacLean dared to explore new frontiers, earning the DJ series worldwide fame.
1996 saw !K7 taking the next step. A platform for artist albums was launched to provide long-term cooperations. A global network of !K7 offices and distribution units was set up in order to offer the the best infrastructure to a large number of internationally acknowledged artists.
Now in 2012 !K7 is reaping the rewards of this set-up with artist albums from the likes of The Brandt Brauer Frick Ensemble, When Saints Go Machine & New Look. Meanwhile the DJ-Kicks series goes from strength to strength, continually compiled by leading figures from the electronica world such as Gold Panda, Motor City Drum Ensemble and Scuba, to name but a few.
!K7 offers a complete range of today's electronic music. Eyes, ears, minds - all wide open in order to keep apace of new developments and styles. !K7's focus is not limited to a specific genre or style, instead !K7 sees the whole picture - in full stereo - and continually delivers the top-notch releases for which the Berlin-based label stands.
