Karmarouge Records is successfully engaging as a music label and booking agency in electronic music for two years now. Karmarouges Philosophy is to release intelligent and valuable productions, to discover young talented artists and to support them.
Above that Karmarouges declared goals are to convince with innovation and authenticity in marketing. An example for that is the Vegetable Orchestra Remix Trilogy. Deeply enrooted in technoculture Karmarouge is representing Colognes 3rd generation of electronic music producers and presents high-quality releases sympathetically independent of the reigning Dom-Sound, completely club compatible techno-hummer, which played themselves pressure full and melodically in the playlists of all the top DJs.
The inspiration and motivation for Karmarouges creative output is the musical genre of Minimal-House and -Techno or simply Minimal. Karmarouges productions are marked by playfulness, musical diversity, emotional warmth, driving grooves and dazzlingly beautiful melodies.
In November 2005 Karmarouge Records has launched a new imprint called Karmarouge Noir. Like on Karmarouge this new baby is all about the love for music and details. While Karmarouge is mainly devoted to warm and friendly themes, Karmarouge Noir will deal with abstract darkish influences and themes of electronic music.Musically this is expressed by raw functional and sometimes even classical sound structures.
Karmarouge Noir is going to be aggressive but also relaxed. Karmarouge Noir will be received ice cold but also heated, funny but also annoying. Simply genius or seriously ill? On the content side Karmarouge Noir wont reduce itself to Acid Knarz, there will be kicking beats and driving grooves in the center of attention. Four-to-the-floor and always around 130bpm.
What ever the future will bring, whatever will be, one thing is for sure - Karmarouge is constantly moving on its chosen path and will delight the community with first class releases and addictive Label nights.
