!! If you want to contact Drone Records, please use the contact-page through the official website www.dronerecords.de/contact.html !! DRONE RECORDS is a label-proj

ect and mailorder-service for mainly atmospheric & experimental music, based in Bremen, Germany. DRONE RECORDS as a (vinyl-only) LABEL started in 1993 with a very idealistic, uncommercial attitude & philosophy, influenced by the independent cassette-culture scene from the 80’s [please read the original full label concept at the DRONES-section]. 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. Many of them are still available [see -> RELEASES, then -> VIEW ALL DRONES]

In the meantime, late 2005 a second series / sub-label has started, this time on 10"-vinyls, named SUBSTANTIA INNOMINATA. This series with a special concept embracing the "Unknown" could be seen as an interface between experimental music & cultural science, psychoanalysis and philosophy.

OUT NOW: SYM:05 / 06 CDs by CONTRASTATE & MOLJEBKA PVLSE

Drone Records has started a CD series named "SYM" (end of 2021) which could be understood as a place holder for different notions and inner processes
(such as Symmetrization, Symbiosis, Symbolization, forming an epistemological circle of inter-relations)
- associated with the act of perceiving and understanding sound on a substantial level...

Releases number 5 and 6 are OUT NOW (02.2024):

SYM : 05 - CONTRASTATE - Life Without Agriculture CD
An album "re-imagining" some of the dadaist, futurist, and surrealist clubs of the 20th century, from Moscow 1918 over Tehran 1966 to Münster 1997; a wonderfully surprising and experimental work by the British post-industrial and ambient performance trio.
CONTRASTATE have created an amazing new work that is inspired by some historical, but also newer places (cafes, clubs, cabarets - including fantasised venues that could / should have existed), relating to the glorious times of the 'true' avantgarde.
"The arc that links them all is the experimentation, the exchange of ideas, and the platform to perform free from the “social norms” of the time." [Stephen Meixner of Contrastate]
The dreamy first half of the album establishes a very sombre and melancholic mood, but when the central pieces "London 1912" and "Zurich 1916" enter it leads to more collagenous and experimental areas, using guitar and bass harmonics, pulsing analogue electronics, spoken words, and all kinds of samples and weird processed sounds. The versatility especially of the second half allows for a fully immersive listening experience, with a vast array of details and twists. "Imagination is subversive, because it puts the possible against the real. "That's why you should always use your wildest imagination. Imagination is the biggest gift humanity has received. Imagination makes people human, not work..." [Jan Švankmajer, "Decalogue", Touch Movements, 2017].
CONTRASTATE, formed in 1987, are a trio from London that have operated on the edge of experimental ambient, dark post-industrial, and performative art areas, often using spoken word lyrics with a strong political, anti-imperialistic approach/agitation. Their early 7" for Drone Records "English Embers" (DR-05) became one of the highlights in the series.

SYM : 06 - MOLJEBKA PVLSE - Topography of Frequency and Time CD
The term "Topography" means the study of the forms and features of land surfaces., the physical appearance of natural attributes in a certain area... MATHIAS JOSEFSON aka MOLJEBKA PVLSE has adopted this notion to characterize this long form multiple-layer drone ambient expanse, a continuous flow of sound that can lead you into different aural regions...like the recent "Sacrificed Phloem (Zannec Line)" by LOPEZ/MENCHE (SYM:04) this one-tracker (exactly 70 minutes long) guides through you various stages.. after a massive beginning there's a very mellow / harmonic middle part, the aural topography of sound changes again towards the ending...a continuous "transfer" into non-ordinary states of mood & consciousness...
Mathias Josefson shares his thoughts on the album: " 'Topography of Frequency and Time' is an expedition through expansive sonic landscapes that stretch beyond our daily awareness. It serves as an open invitation to transcend the visual confines of physical space, encouraging a deep dive into the unexplored realms of sound and time. This album seeks to chart the uncharted territories of our auditory experience, intricately mapping the intersections of three-dimensional space within the frequency and time domains."
MOLJEKBA PVLSE, based in Stockholm and Hamburg, has accompanied Drone Records for a long time, with releases on 7" and 10" vinyl. Active since 1999, the project has evolved from more minimal droning soundscapes on to complex multi-layered atmospheric conglomerations of acoustic and electronic sounds, field recordings and found sounds, feat. various guest musicians.

great digital-only release by Francisco Lopez, sounds like nothing else!! =>

https://franciscolopez.bandcamp.com/album/conveyor-belts-usa

*Created in 2023 from non-transformed, unedited, original recordings done with a portable audio recorder running inside checked-in baggage going through the multiple conveyor belts of –inaccessible and unknown– baggage handling systems of several main airports in the US (thus turned into man-made, unintentional acousmatic environments)*

Dear friends,

I don’t normally send email announcements about my album releases, but with this new one (peculiar and very surprising even for myself!) I just couldn’t resist to share the fascination ;-)

Dear Droners, here's the update for June / July 2023 (3rd Newsflash in 2023) !
www.dronerecords.de

In this update, you find at first a special offer section on remaining titles of the French-German label "Treue um Treue/Reue um Reue" (TuTRuR), who stopped all activities last year. Many of their versatile projects featured the label activists Jörg + Anne in various incarnations, but they also released albums from befriended artists. You can hear samples at the www.tutrur.com site (still online). Most of the titles are for the first time listed, prices are less than 50% of the original price..

The regular Newsflash + "recent arrivials" list has lots of awesome stuff for drone- and explorer-heads, such as: LA MONTE YOUNG LP/CD re-issue of magic "black record", new albums by SWANS, GENOCIDE ORGAN / PRURIENT, CURRENT 93 (see recent arrivals section), the RAISON D'ETRE / TROUM "De Aeris" vinyl re-issue with bonus material, the SUTCLIFFE JUGEND 2 x 10" LP boxes on VOD, AUTECHRE / H30 box re-issue (now in black), HALO MANASH, ARKTAU EOS, RAPOON, GRIM, BERTOIA, E. RADIGUE, VON HAUSSWOLFF, MICHAEL BEGG, LIONEL MARCHETTI, etc.. too much to mention! .... and for the discoverers we highly recommend the drone-ambient releases of newcomers LIVING TEMPLES, PERISTALITH, and ARE MUNDAL!!

happy about this review from Richo Johnson / Adverse Effect about our new SYM-CD :

Thorsten Soltau Gewächse Im Zwielicht CD (Drone Records, Germany, 2022)

The very latest album by this prolific German sound artist who has been operating for over fifteen years now and has many releases out under his own name. He has also collaborated with artists mostly of a similar sonic disposition such as Emerge, Pharmakustik, RLW, J. Adolphe and others, giving one reasonable insight into where his own sensibilities lay. Using musique concrete techniques, he melds various electronic sources together that are at once rich and atmospheric yet erratic and occasionally wedded to rhythms apparently sculpted from patterns of soft clay . Each of the five pieces constituting this album sound purposeful and like they needed to happen. Fourth cut ‘Die Sonne Verdampft’ is especially triumphant as it starts out sounding like Contrastate before evolving into an electroacoustic drone piece built around a minimal refrain generated by what sounds like a violin but might be a cello. Once in while, voices drift into the fray very effectively, too. While this stands as the highlight for me, it sits perfectly with everything else. A great album from a name to look out for. (RJ)

new release in the Substantia Innominata series (SUB-30) : JOE COLLEY - Acting As If 10" vinyl

MECHANICAL RITUALS: => 23 years after his EP for Drone Records (DR-28, as CRAWL UNIT) we are proud to release another / new work of conceptual / minimal / object drone artist JOE COLLEY from California. We think JOE COLLEY (*1972) is a master of using mechanical object sounds and electronic static, but also strange low fi found sources and field recordings, creating alienating, surrealistic effects, similar to the likes of SMALL CRUEL PARTY, JIM HAYNES, DAS SYNTHETISCHE MISCHGEWEBE or even the more experimental side of ZOVIET FRANCE... or maybe better said: => "Rhizomes of sound that speak poison. Drink up, if it doesn't kill you, it will only make you stronger." [Jim Haynes]
