About Us

Selbstverständnis:
DRONE RECORDS vertreibt Musik, die Sensibilität fördert und einfordert, die zu kritischem Bewußtsein aufruft, unkommerziell ausgerichet ist und sich nicht an gängigen Vermarktungstrends orientiert - abseits einer auf Gewinnmaximierung ausgerichteten Entertainment-& Kultur-Industrie. Die Unterstützung & Verbreitung einer intelligenten musikalischen Kultur, in der persönliche Kommunikation & Austausch sowie eine größtmögliche Vielfalt von alternativen, experimentellen und kritischen Inhalten im Vordergrund stehen, ist unser erklärtes Ziel.

Self-conception:
DRONE RECORDS distributes music that encourages and requires sensitivity, calls for a critical awareness, has neither any commercial orientation nor does it follow any common marketing trends, hence staying away from an entertainment industry that is focused on profit maximisation. Our declared objective is the support and distribution of an intelligent musical culture that foregrounds personal communication and exchange as well as an utmost variety of alternative, experimental and critical contents.


DRONE RECORDS is a label-project 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.

The 7"-label series is still active with few new "drones" per year, presenting mainly newcomers from the international experimental "drone"-scene. A subscription is possible, please ask.

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.
See www.substantia-innominata.de for details.

DRONE RECORDS as a MAIL-ORDER started later in the 90’s, based on the label-releases, to offer other items from bands & artists featured on the label. Later also other interesting stuff was added. Today, DRONE RECORDS offers a wide spectrum of artists and styles from the more experimental & electronic world of sound-creation, and our credo is still that we sell what we like and not what "sells". The whole catalogue we offer is viewable in this database, but we still do monthly updates ("Newsflash") via e-mail and from time to time more detailed "Newslists" with full info and often reviews on all offered items. These "Newslists" are available for download on these pages too.
