About Us

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 - IMPRO - MODERN CLASSIC - SOUNDTRACKS - =>==>=>=>=>=>=>=>=>=>=>=>=>=> = everything atmospheric & experimental, 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 that time [for details please read the original full label concept at the RELEASES / DRONES-section].

The 7"-label series was active from 1993 to 2010 with 100 released "drones" (7" EPs), presenting many newcomers from the international experimental "drone"-scene. Somne of them are still available [see -> RELEASES, then -> VIEW ALL DRONES]

In the meantime (late 2005) a second VINYL 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.

At the end of the year 2011 we have started a new LP-series called "DRONE-MIND//MIND-DRONE" - dedicated to the drones of the world - and the drones of our minds. Presenting 4 artists for each volume, this is a continuation of the drone 7" concept, the new era of drones!
