About
Geef Appel Neem Chocolade was an underground record label based in Belgium, active during the early 1980s. The label's name, which translates to "Give Apple Take Chocolate" in English, reflects the experimental and conceptually unconventional approach that defined its output. Operating primarily during the post-punk and emerging industrial era, the label specialized in cassette releases, a format well-suited to the DIY ethos of the underground music scene. The label's catalog includes notable works such as the ambitious four-cassette box set "Muziek Voor Zelfmoorden" (1982), alongside releases like "Angst" (1982) and "Wij Zijn Belgie" (1984). Though limited in output with only four documented releases, Geef Appel Neem Chocolade occupied a distinctive niche within the Belgian experimental music underground, contributing to the era's rich independent music culture through its commitment to challenging, avant-garde material distributed via cassette medium.
