Manifesto: “A professional platform for artists — who are often friends — we believe in releasing great music that we love,” Tobias Lampe says.

A&R Philosophy: “We like to work long-term with the artists we sign and are not so interested in one-off singles,” Lampe says. “Therefore, we also need a good feeling and are quite picky because it's not just the music that counts. Demos on CD are welcome.”

Upcoming: Compilations: Steve Bug Presents Bugnology Vol. 2 (as well as U.S. tour dates); and artist albums from Guido Schneider and Trentemøller.
