TROUM
EmphasYs

7 tracks based on 7 different instruments, moving through various stages, moods and realities, these instruments become sources of texture, resonance, and color. They are not simply played, they are expanded, dissolved, and transmuted... *EmphasYs* unfolds like a sequence of elemental states. The music appears as colorful fluids, shining gases, iridescent ether. Sound behaves like matter in transformation, shifting density, refracting light, dissolving form" - CD version 500 copies digipak

INADE & TROUM
To Pan Eon

4 track EP, inspired and dedicated to the eternal circles in human and cosmic life... comes on dark shining three-colour (clear + red + black) vinyl, lim. ed. 500 copies => OUT NOW!!! *The EP combines their deeply developed sonic signatures: vast and shadow-laden cosmic atmospheres, ritualistic and tribal pulses, hypnotic guitar drones, and shimmering harmonic overtones that seem to breathe and expand in slow motion. Each track unfolds as a meditative spiral — circling, dissolving, re-emerging..*

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!
