A Submarine Records, selo de música independente, iniciou suas atividades em 1998 e desde então vem procurando trabalhar com artistas diversificados que, cada um a seu estilo, exprimem bem o direcionamento do selo.

Além de disponibilizar os títulos, a Submarine atua também em produções de shows e festivais no Brasil e exterior, através da Norópolis.

giant gutter from outer space came to light from the affinity of two independent musicians and long-standing friends driven to the execution of heavy, rough, experimental and, as far as possible, unrestrained music.

KK NULL (real name : KAZUYUKI KISHINO) was born in Tokyo, Japan. Composer, guitarist, singer, mastermind of ZENI GEVA. One of the top names in Japanese noise music and in a larger context, one of the great cult artists in experimental music since the early 80′s.

In 1981 KK NULL studied at Butoh dancer, Min Tanaka’s “Mai-Juku” workshop and started his career by performing guitar improvisations in the clubs in Tokyo. He continued by collaborating with MERZBOW for two years, and joining the band YBO2 (with Masashi Kitamura, the chief editer of “Fool’s Mate” magazine and Tatsuya Yoshida, the drummer of RUINS) and starting the improvised noise/rock trio ABSOLUT NULL PUNKT (with Seijiro Murayama, the original drummer of Keiji Haino’s FUSHITSUSHA), and also GEVA2 (GEVA GEVA) with Tatsuya Yoshida (RUINS) and Eye Yamatsuka (BOREDOMS)

In 1985 he established his own label NUX ORGANIZATION to produce & release his own works and subsequently the bands such as MELT-BANANA and SPACE STREAKINGS. He also produced the series of “Dead Tech” (compilation albums by Japanese bands) which heralded Japanese alternative music boom internationally from the early 90′s to date.

In the early 90′s he gained world-wide recognition as the mastermind, guitarist and singer of the progressive hardcore band ZENI GEVA, releasing five albums produced by STEVE ALBINI (two on Jello Biafra’s Alternative Tentacles label) and a few more on other labels such as NEUROSIS’s Neurot Recordings. Also ZENI GEVA recorded twice for JOHN PEEL SESSION on BBC, and immensely toured throughout Europe, USA, Australia, New Zealand and Japan, playing hundreds of concerts.

All the while, KK NULL has worked on his solo career and collaborated with other musical innovators such as Z’EV, CHRIS WATSON, KEIJI HAINO, JON ROSE, MATMOS, FRED FRITH to name a few, and has been invited to perform at international festivals such as “Presences Électronique” in Paris (France), “Sonar” in Barcelona (Spain), “All Tomorrow’s Parties UK“, “Radar” in Mexico City (Mexico), “International Sound Art Festival” in Mexico City (Mexico), “Sergey Kuryokhin International Festival (SKIF-6 & 8)” in St.Petersburg & Moscow (Russia), “Elevate” in Graz (Austria), “X-peripheria” in Budapest (Hungary), “Liquid Architecture” in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane (Australia), “Totally Huge New Music Festival” in Perth (Australia), “Avanto Helsinki Media Art Festival” in Helsinki (Finland), “Roadburn” in Tilburg (Holland), “International Festival Musique Actuelle” in Victoriaville (Canada), “Electron” in Geneve (Switzerland), and more.

After playing the guitar as his main instrument for nearly thirty years, KK NULL has gradually moved towards a more electronic approach. Since the late 90′s he has concentrated his efforts on his solo & collaborative recordings, exploring the outer territories of electronica, creating intense clashing wave of noise, structured electro-acoustic ambience, broken down rhythmics, scattered pitch sculptures, droning isolationist material which could be described “cosmic noise maximal/minimalism”.

1985年、レーベルNUXオーガニゼーションを設立し、自作のみならずメルトバナナやスペースストリーキングス等バンドのプロデュース、さらには日本のオルタナティヴバンドを初めて海外へ紹介したオムニバスレコード『DEAD TECH』シリーズをプロデュースし、アメリカとドイツのレーベルより共同リリースする等、早くより海外を視野に入れた活動を展開する。

近年はギター中心の音創りからより純粋なエレクトロニック・サウンドへと移行し、いわゆるノイズという一言では括りきれない多角的かつ重層的アプローチで深遠な電子音響世界を創造し、そのユニークなサウンドは、「ミクロ宇宙からマクロ宇宙までを網羅し、銀河の果てからはらわたの中までをリンクする」と形容され、「コスミック・ノイズ・ミニマリズム」等とも表現されている。海外の音楽及びアート・フェステイバルへの出演も多く、国際的評価は高まる一方である。またこれまでにリリースされた作品は（バンド、コラボレーションも含め）100タイトル以上に及ぶ。

Seminal Records é um selo autônomo sem fins lucrativos dedicado a música experimental.

independent non-profit brazilian label dedicated to experimental music.

Small Independent True Underground label / store oriented on Black Metal, Dark Ambient and Dungeon Synth, mostly in raw, harsh, lo-fi and primitive form of sound.

Selo de música independente e produtora de apresentações ligadas às bandas do selo, às internacionais convidadas, às locais relacionadas e ao que der para ir fazendo em torno de ruidagem, experimentalismo e abstração.

Independent brazilian label and booking involved with managing, booking, releasing and promoting local and foreign experimental abstract electronic no wave post punk noise grind black metal music.

Ipecac Recordings is the brainchild of Greg Werckman (former label manager for the legendary punk label, Alternative Tentacles, employee for Mercury Records for a record 15 minutes, currently operating Pick-A-Winner Management) and Mike Patton (former frontman for Faith No More, Mr. Bungle, currently of Fantômas, Tomahawk, Peeping Tom).

Werckman and Patton had been scheming for years (in between video games) about starting their very own label, waiting for just the right moment to unleash their master plan. Ipecac Recordings is not about to make music biz history and execute a revolution (although one is surely needed) or bore you by waxing poetic about their original musical philosophies. But if we have to adhere to a "mission statement," how about the notion of being an honest, artist friendly label run on a shoe string with no outrageous promotional or production costs. This label is a home to Mike Patton's eclectic musical collaborations as well as a place where bands we admire have the freedom to release music they might not be able to, or want to, release on other labels.
