Drone Records

Drone Records is a label-project and mailorder-service for outsider and niche music genres such as experimental drone, dark ambient, transcendental post-rock & doom, industrial & noise, electro-acoustic, field recordings, improv, modern classic and soundtracks, based in Bremen, Germany. Its vinyl-only label started in 1993 with an idealistic, uncommercial attitude influenced by the independent cassette-culture scene of the 1980s. The 7"-label series ran from 1993 to 2010 with 100 released "drones" (7" EPs), mainly presenting newcomers from the international experimental drone scene. Late in 2005 a second series / sub-label on 10" vinyls began, named Substantia Innominata.

Drone Records is a label-project and mailorder-service for mainly atmospheric and experimental music, based in Bremen, Germany. Its vinyl-only label started in 1993 with a very idealistic, uncommercial attitude and philosophy, influenced by the independent cassette-culture scene from the 1980s. The 7"-label series was active from 1993 to 2010 with 100 released "drones" (7" EPs), presenting mainly newcomers from the international experimental "drone"-scene. Late in 2005 a second series / sub-label started on 10" vinyls, named Substantia Innominata, described as a series with a special concept embracing the "Unknown". The label distributes music that encourages and requires sensitivity, calls for a critical awareness, has neither any commercial orientation nor follows common marketing trends, staying away from an entertainment industry focused on profit maximisation.

Non-commercial, idealistic label and mailorder service supporting an intelligent musical culture of alternative, experimental and critical contents.
