Mnml techno contest?

This morning we received a friendly mail from Stockholm. I didnt know the guys from netlabel astorbell.com, but they've got a well designed site and some good music. So be sure to take a look!



They also asked us a contest-related-question of which the answer might interest all of you:

The sampler on our website is not a reference for the style we are looking for, because it's not a real release, but more of a review of some of the artists we've worked with the past 5 years. During those years our contest was mainly orientated to dj's and in a lesser amount to producers. We also covered lots of musicstyles, with only one thing in common...they needed to be electronic. Now we are changing our approuch by concentrating on our favourite style (being mnml techno) and recruiting CC producers only. Our first official releases will be launched this year, starting in august.

Contest is running

So our yearly contest started again!
The first contestants are reporting in while we are trying to reach more of them, contacting people through fora and mailings.



Today I mailed with a friendly guy from Berlin, who runs an IDM/Experimental/Electronica netlabel. We won't have a chillout room on our party this year, so we're only looking for minimal techno. But anyway, you should still check out their music. I like...tho I just woke up and feel kind of scared :-)
