Austria
ID: Labels
Independent electronic and electroacoustic labels shaping Austria's recorded sound.
A
A.T.C. Records
The label’s quoted idea—that a scene exists only if people firmly believe in it—matches its modest, local-network scale. A.T.C. does not chase a uniform club sound; modular synthesis, tape loops, field recording and slow dub structures keep its records grounded in texture and place.
ViennaAnalogique
Analogique positions fairness as part of its aesthetic. The music ranges from electronic pop and club production to spoken word and soundscape work, but the common thread is resistance to standardisation. Releases feel like invitations into a peer network rather than products from a top-down brand.
ViennaAnaves Music
Anaves approaches electronic production through riddim culture rather than club taxonomy. Saxophone, dub space, lo-fi texture and bass-weighted studio craft give the catalogue a live-musician warmth, while collaborations connect Vienna to an international reggae and beat-making network.
B
base [records]
base [records] is a Linz electronic label founded and run by Wolfgang “Fadi” Dorninger. Its catalogue moves from field recordings, ambient and sound art to handmade electronics and techno, connecting long-running projects with new releases.
ViennaBlu Saphir Recordings
Blu Saphir Recordings is a Vienna drum & bass label founded by Jay Rome in the mid-2000s. Across Blu Saphir, Digital Blus and Blu Saphir Limited, its catalogue moves from liquid and atmospheric D&B to deeper, minimal, tech-led and jungle releases by an international artist network.
C
Cheap Classics
Cheap Classics is the digital archive of Vienna's Cheap Records, founded in 1993 by Patrick Pulsinger and Erdem Tunakan. Its catalogue restores the label's playful, lean techno, house and experimental electronics, reconnecting foundational releases with new listeners.
Viennacol legno
col legno is a Vienna label for contemporary music, pairing acoustic composition with computer music, live processing and electroacoustic systems. Its catalogue follows timbre and form across orchestral, chamber and electronic work, bridging new-music practice and experimental electronics.
E
Editions Mego
Editions Mego is a Vienna label for adventurous electronic and experimental music, where sound art, noise, electroacoustic composition and rhythm meet. Its active catalogue pairs archival stewardship with new work, extending Peter Rehberg's boundary-pushing legacy without freezing it as a memorial.
ViennaElectropia Records
Electropia treats a record less as a self-contained product than as one surface of a larger artwork. Its machine rhythms and Detroit references remain club-legible, but field recordings, scientific metaphors and exhibition practice keep pulling the music toward installation and speculative sound art.
LinzEtage Noir Recordings
Etage Noir Recordings is the Linz electronic label founded by Parov Stelar. Built around his electro-swing vocabulary, it also releases electronic pop, cinematic productions and club remixes, connecting the label’s retro-modern visual identity with a wider international roster.
F
Fabrique Records
Fabrique Records is a Vienna label working across electronic music, sound art, cinematic composition and art-pop. Its catalogue ranges from atmospheric club-adjacent releases and electroacoustic albums to songwriter projects, with publishing and management extending its artist-development work.
Feber Wolle
Feber Wolle Records is a Vienna label, studio and collective devoted to locally produced niche pop, indie and exploratory electronic music. Founded in the early 2020s, it develops recordings in its in-house studio and connects songwriting, production and release work across a deliberately genre-fluid roster.
ViennaforTunea / Fortunea Records
forTunea is a Vienna electronic label founded in 2014 by DJ and producer Klaus Benedek. Its vinyl-led catalogue maps Austrian house and its deep, disco, broken-beat and late-night edges, while collaborations with artists beyond Austria broaden the sound without displacing its local centre.
H
I
Ink Music
Founded in Vienna in 2001, Ink Music is an independent label and music publisher focused on long-term artist development. Its broad roster spans indie, pop, hip-hop and electronic music, with acts such as Leyya bringing club-informed production and synth detail into the label's mixed catalogue.
Interstellar Records
Active since 2001, Interstellar Records is an Austrian DIY label for noise, experimental and boundary-crossing music. Its catalogue moves between electroacoustic improvisation, sound art, free-form electronics and noise rock, while splits and small physical editions sustain a collaborative underground network.
J
K
KAIROS
KAIROS is a Vienna label for contemporary and avant-garde art music, founded in 1999. Its catalogue places electroacoustic, acousmatic, computer and live-electronic work alongside rigorously documented instrumental composition, with monographic portraits at the centre.
ViennaKlanggalerie
Klanggalerie is a Vienna label founded in 1993, releasing adventurous music across industrial, post-punk, experimental electronics, improvisation and avant-pop. Its catalogue combines carefully restored reissues with new work by artists operating outside conventional genre boundaries.
L
M
MAMKA
MAMKA is a Vienna label for electroacoustic music and sound comics. CHICKEN, by Natascha Gangl & Rdeča Raketa, pairs electronic music with literary text and was issued on moss-green vinyl with individually hand-printed covers.
ViennaMORBIT EXILE RECORDS
The label reads like a home for electronic projects that sit outside a single scene hierarchy. Liquid drum & bass, hazy ambient, progressive club music and post-punk electronics share a deliberately low-infrastructure DIY presentation. That breadth is the point: MORBIT EXILE documents a loose Vienna network rather than enforcing one house sound.
N
Neubau
Neubau is a Vienna label for experimental electronic music. Releases include Mars Hum EP by Zillas on Acid, whose mix of acid, downtempo, dub techno and industrial reflects the catalogue’s range.
SalzburgNight Defined Recordings
Night Defined Recordings releases electronic music from Salzburg, spanning dub techno, ambient and breakbeat. Tom Dicicco & Roger 23’s Parental Guidance is part of a catalogue available on vinyl and digitally.
ViennaNoise Appeal Records

P

ViennaPomelo
Founded in Vienna in 1994, Pomelo releases techno, electro and house. Its catalogue includes Glass Echoes / POM52 by Lodig/Dibek and Toolbox / POM50 by Atom™ & Tobias., which brings together the EPs Cuando, Zahlenraum and Enne.
S
sama recordings
sama’s catalogue feels organised by listening attitude rather than tempo. A meditative tape work and a floor-facing bass compilation can coexist because both privilege texture, spatial detail and unrushed form. The new idiosyncratic-bass branch makes that logic explicit without flattening the older experimental lines.
ViennaSeayou Records
Lizki’s surreal scenery and Hollywood Smile by Cousines like Shit and FARCE are part of Seayou Records’ catalogue. The Vienna label was established in 2006 and also releases music by Sage Darley and David Arcos.
Viennasmallforms
Vienna’s smallforms pairs experimental music releases with recorded live sessions. Founded in 2016, the label and concert platform brings together electronics, improvisation, instruments and voices.

ViennaSzeretet Records

T
Tender Matter
Tender Matter is an independent Vienna label for experimental electronic music. Its catalogue includes Subletvis’s Installer and MANSHIN by Hyeji Nam and Idklang, alongside releases by Tony Wagner and Lan Rex.
ViennaTrost Records
Trost carries punk’s do-it-yourself logic into free improvisation: direct, physical, artist-centred releases that value friction, risk and collective encounter. Electronics enter that world through turntables, amplification, live processing, noise and electroacoustic composition, often as another unstable instrument rather than a polished production layer.
ViennaTRUST
From Vienna, TRUST releases electro, acid and machine-funk records on vinyl and digitally. Its catalogue includes Microthol, Versalife and Orlando Voorn, alongside Pharmasoniq’s Side Effects and the collaborative XY series.
V
Ventil Records

vierundvierzig
vierundvierzig is a Salzburg electronic label linked to the Klubkulturklub vierundvierzig association. Its releases carry music beyond the group’s club nights, moving through house, dub techno, electro, ambient and beat experiments.
W
Waschsalon Records
Waschsalon works less like a conventional taste-making imprint than a shared workshop: a small circle of Vienna players builds the release infrastructure its ensembles need, then lets the music range from tightly scored chamber-jazz to unruly improvisation and electronically treated ensemble sound. The “washing programme” language is playful, but the practical model is serious—artist control, local collaboration and patient physical/digital documentation.
ViennaWonkey Records
Founded in Vienna in 2025, Wonkey Records releases electronic club music. Its catalogue pairs the Selected Wonkers compilation with EPs by Cruncheurs and Tim B, moving between electro, deep house and tech house.
