Kultur Lab is based in Oslo. Inspired by different subgenres of electronica and experimental music, you will find a place to listen and find new ways of understanding sound and rythms.

Formed in 2005, DataBlender originated as a collective and a sound system with London as its main base of operation. In 2008, the collective expanded with the creation of an independent record label having as its objective to release new music by electronic music artists.

The label specializes in the publishing of limited 12" singles and EP compilations as well as digital albums in Wav/Mp3 format.
Their releases have strong inclinations towards the genres of Hardtechno, Schranz, Industrial and Hardcore.

In 2015 the founders put DataBlender on pause and moved on launching other epic projects.

We are all connected through the same frequency.

Økapi is Filippo Paolini, an Italian turntablist and sample cutup artist. Filippo has recorded several solo albums, as well as recording in the duo Metaxu and with the trio Dogon. He has performed live for national Italian State radio broadcasts (RAI) with renowned avant-turntablist, Christian Marclay and collaborates with numerous international artists such as Mike Cooper, Peter Brotzmann, Mike Patton, Matt Gustafson, Zu, Damo Suzuki, Andy EX, Kawabata Makoto, Metamkine…
            ØKapi's album releases illustrate his unique and edgy use of turntables and computer beyond the hip-hop school of chopped up music, creating music that veers from orchestral to lounge with quirky experimental electronics that maintain a delicate and spacious sound throughout.

            His amazing skills at sample mixing are simply outstanding and during Okapi live sets he mixes: techno/broken beat/electro-/8-bit with melodies from Klezmer, polka, children's music, idiot pop and hawaiian classics to name but a few.....

      ----------------------------------------

            The Økapi is a mammal which was only discovered in 1901 by an acousmatic engineer. It lives wild in the forest of the Itur Region in Upper Zaire. It was named the Okapia Johnstoni and it also commonly known as the "Daft Giraffe of the Forest". One of its strangest characteristics is that it is the only known mammal to wash out its own ears with its tongue: just to catch the weird melodies of nature! He adores those ferocious and vindictive chants that make him sway like ... and he fights relentlessly for the domination and hegemony of incorrect and unlistenable music. He hates talking about music and certain music purists of the Forest are definitely not his friends! In recent years he has played for Dogon tribal rituals and for those more intimate Metaxu deliriums, but he is   considered a solitary mammal and consequently has only published one anthem to protophony for a small label of the American prairies.

The Monasterio Rave was a breath of fresh air for electronic music, which has been lost for nearly a decade (c) Rolling Stone
