Silent Warrior is an intense, deep and emotion-filled work dedicated to the memory of a beloved friend. A personal outburst that focuses on the hypnotic and triggering effect that music can have on each of us.

KR3.005 

A Day in the Life - is the first chapter of a dedicated series fully curated by Steve Bicknell for KR3. 

This bold new work by the veteran English artist provides an insight into the mind of the artist. 

Side A features three tracks by The Evader, another face of Steve Bicknell. An obscure intro leads us straight to the point: 4/4 sounds, repetitive and hypnotic, not afraid to be heavy. In fact, that's the point: to take everything that is a burden to us and embrace it. After all, there can be no light without darkness. 

On Side B, Steve Bicknell has a killer approach. A parallel rail to Side A, with a more furious, still gloomy approach. He moves in the same direction but vents different emotions. The sound is harder, rawer, faster and more impetuous. 
An outro ends the EP, as if to represent a circle closing: The first lap inside A day in the life.

KR3.007 

After his contribution to the label's 2nd Anniversary compilation, 
Justin K. Broadrick returns to KR3 with a 6-track solo EP as JK FLESH

One of the most legendary names in the British alternative music scene, with a career spanning three decades with various projects such as Godflesh, JK Flesh, Jesu, ZONAL and more, Broadrick has always been able to push the emotional boundaries that lie within us through sonic violence, and yet he strikes once again with this new release. 

VENEER OF TOLERANCE - is pure electronic power, brain-scratching metal techno. The album opens its dark doors with a rough intro; a driving speech that Justin himself proclaims to be a manifesto on the irregularity and unpredictability of life. 

From then onwards, the whole album assumes the appearance of a running horse. Heavy bass lines with raw resonances feel like an approaching earthquake… A brutal cerebral assault!

Release Date: June 13, 2022

KR3 Records, 
is proud to welcome - Shuya - to its roster. 

The Japanese producer whose influences come mostly from the Noise Scene, began his sonic journey as a singer and guitarist with the experimental avant-garde group called Qujaku. 

With his s/h/u/y/a solo project he keeps 
a noise-industrial attitude to his electronic music productions. 
The beginning of his collaboration with KR3 was therefore inevitable. The artist and the label share a mutual approach to sound, with the processing of raw materials into scratchy, deep and mental beats playing a key part in their interpretation of Techno. 

The Sleeper EP - is the first vinyl release under this pseudonym. 
The cover art is curated by the designer Pablo I Prada, who says about his works: “I try to capture human evil in my paintings”. With his music, Shuya does exactly the same. His productions are a disturbing mixture of noise-techno that perfectly evokes the infernal spirit of human existence that also appears in the artwork. 

The Sleeper, is a cerebral, red-painted sonic assault. The intro and outro are composed by recordings of his voice and guitar riffs that show us how deep is his connection to his artistic origins.

Release Date October 17, 2022 

Written & Produced by Shuya Onuki

Vortex Chronologies Evo.1

The first release of the new Hypnotic techno label KR3 is a mini-compilation of four club bangers that symbolises the inception and evolution of a vortex - concept that is also embodied in the label’s logo. 
It's a highly powerful release that seduces the listener into a labyrinth of twisted thoughts; a notion that has been widely embraced and evoked by all the artists who have contributed with their participation to the genesis of the label. 

“VORTEX CHRONOLOGIES Evo.”  will be our V.A. Series
