Dreizehn

About

Dreizehn is an underground record label that emerged during the 1990s, operating primarily through cassette releases. The label's catalog reflects a commitment to industrial, experimental, and avant-garde music, with a particular focus on harsh noise and extreme sonic territories. Based on the nature of its releases, including works by artists such as Voodoo Bastard and Skrewman, Dreizehn positioned itself as a platform for uncompromising and boundary-pushing acts within the underground music community. The label's preference for cassette format as its primary medium of distribution aligned with the DIY ethos prevalent in experimental music circles during that era. Dreizehn's releases, including collaborative split projects, demonstrate the label's role in fostering community connections among fringe artists. Though modest in output with six known releases in archival records, Dreizehn represents an important node within the 1990s underground music network, contributing to the preservation and dissemination of experimental work during a formative period for industrial and noise music.
