TRACKLISTING:
A1. The Quest
A2. The Quest (Alessandro Adriani Remix)
B1. The Hate That You Preach
B2. Electro City Expres
B3. A Constraint Attached

Kri records first installment oscillates between EBM and electro, ready for sweaty dancefloors and those extra long afterhours needing some “warm leatherette”. 

A well crafted five tracker journey is a debut collab by two veterans, Christian Kroupa discovering his darker shades coming off of an LP on Natural Sciences under his Alleged Witches moniker, while Le Chocolat Noir is no stranger either with seals of approval on Return to Disorder and L.I.E.S among others.

Get ready for plenty of melodies, massive chords and menacing vocals spiced with an epic acid remix by the Mannequin boss Alessandro Adriani.

Kri Records strike back with a cassette compilation under an
appropriate name: Trust the Rust! Rust dealers come from all over
the globe.

Nasty electro cuts are served by LA-based Ole Mic Odd who
has released on labels such as Zement, Italian producer and the
mighty Gravitational Waves owner DJ Nephil, British veteran
Chupacabras with seals of approval on L.I.E.S. among others, and
our Russian friend Larionov, who regularly puts out bangers for
Rotterdam Electronix. The Electro part of the compilation is
rounded by the local Ljubljana legend operating as a DJ and
Honest Work label owner, 198319831983.

EBM-ish march is saluted by Black Dot, the duo of Christian Kroupa
and Le Chocolat Noir, soon releasing music on Mechatronica and
responsible for our first release. Christian has also joined forces
with the Dallas and Science Cult native Aura Nox. NYC and wave EBM
bangers are represented by R Gamble, Spinal is an up-and-coming
producer from Chile having released a great EP on Pildoras Tapes,
while Bianco Negativo is an Italian duo behind one of our fav
labels, Marguerite Records.

10 tracks exploring the dark corners of Kri Records are available
on a super cute cassette or digitally via Bandcamp.

Big thanks to everyone involved, especially all the producers.

Released on cassette and digitally end of April 2023.

Trust The Rust vol.1

KRI002 Trust The Rust VA Vol.1 (snippets)

The third KRI Records release features the infamous Italo Moderni label boss Adrian Marth joining forces with the Italian EBM master Diana Berti (Violet Poison)and it's belter. Warm and punchy analog beats are spiced with haunting melodies and sinister pads that will break even the toughest of ravers. Sturdy EBM-ish, dark italo and wave production is cushioned with Adrian's mysterious vocals adding yet another layer to a diverse EP accompanied by two heavy-weight remixes.

Magic Fantasia is reimagined as a dirty electro firecracker by Chupacabras (L.I.E.S.) while Panoramix Forest is transformed into a commanding EBM march by Chino (Pinkman).

Think of Dario Argenti walking int a dark club at 3 AM ...

A1. Magic Fantasia
A2. Panoramix Forest
A3. The Moon Wizard
B1. Panoramix Forest (Chino Remix)
B2. Magic Fantasia (Chupacabras Low Life Remix)

Roland Juno 106, Korg Polysix, Korg M1, Sequential Circuits One, Formanta Polivoks, Oberheim OB-X8, Ensoniq esq-1 Korg poly 800 modded, Simmons and 808 drums.

KRI003 Adrian Marth feat Diana Berti - Crystal Ball Visions EP (snippets)

The fourth chapter of the Kri discography was conceived in the cold northern parts of Europe by a well-seasoned electro producer and Gravitational Waves label owner, Dj Nephil aka System Disorder.

Sharp electro-minimalism on the Horizon Rising EP is ranging from hypnotic and subtle to a punkish kick in the arse. Lush textures, bitter-sweet acid, and thick bass lines are looking past trends to create a lasting record. Adding extra weight to this polar electro voyage are remixes by two among our favorite producers, Alonzo and Univac.

 1. Dj Nephil - Empty Heads
2. Dj Nephil - Sex Shop
3. Dj Nephil - After Fiction
4. Dj Nephil - Unnecessary People
5. Dj Nephil - About Next Plans
6. Dj Nephil - About Next Plans (Alonzo remix) 
7. Dj Nephil - After Fiction (Univac remix)

Available as lathe-cut vinyl and digitally on the 21st of September 2023.

KRI004 Dj Nephil - Horizon Rising EP (snippets)

The fifth Kri release was produced by a New York based producer Richard Gamble, who has appeared on our compilation Trust The Rust and has received the seal of approval on legit labels such as Marguerite Records and Public System Recordings. Dream Sequence EP explores the boundaries between mutated Wave, Minimal Synth, and EBM in search of a perfect loop and the most epic melody. A dim and moisty atmosphere is often cut by a ray of light but you can't be sure if it's just a flashing strobe. Three original tracks command absolute attention on the dancefloor or on the sofa and are accompanied by a Violet Poison remix. Francesco is another Kri acquaintance, who adds some industrial muscles and sends the vocals and the record into a frenzy. Cheers!

1. R Gamble - Dream Sequence
2. R Gamble - Never Crossed the Same One Twice
3. R Gamble - Toxic Dip
4. R Gamble - Dream Sequence (Violet Poison remix)

Available as limited lathe-cut vinyl and digitally on the 15th of November 2023.

Theef - Back to Freedom EP

Shoal – Ular EP [space•lab]

Shoal makes his debut on space•lab with the Ular EP, a four-track expedition that deepens his fluid, percussive and richly textured signature sound. Known for crafting immersive sonic environments, Shoal blends intricate rhythms with deep organic pulses, creating dynamic structures that evolve with subtle precision.

The tracks move with a focused energy, driven by detailed percussion and layered sound design, offering moments of intensity and spaciousness that strike a natural balance. Shoal’s instinctive command of rhythm and tension is on full display, delivering club-ready material, some of which has been road-tested in live performances. 

The Ular EP is a powerful addition to Shoal’s growing body of work, further solidifying his place as one of the most standout producers in contemporary techno.

Strange FM - Deep Sequence Mix

New Beat swagger meets EBM menace on the latest Kri release. New York based producer, DJ and Samo Records owner Facets channels the raw spirit of late ’80s New Beat and EBM into a modern club context with stripped-down rhythms and tense electronics lock.

Four original tracks are bolstered with two heavyweight remixes courtesy of Marcello Giordani, the Italo Deviance maestro, and the iron-fisted British techno icon Broken English Club / Oliver Ho.

Lathe cut vinyl and digital will be released on the 29th of October 2025.
