Konnekschen

About

Konnekschen was an independent record label active during the late 1970s and early 1980s, operating from Switzerland during a pivotal period for experimental and underground music in Europe. The label emerged during the post-punk and industrial music era, releasing work that reflected the avant-garde sensibilities of the time. Konnekschen's catalog, consisting primarily of vinyl LP releases between 1979 and 1982, showcased artists working within experimental and industrial frameworks, with titles suggesting conceptual and provocative approaches to sound and performance. The label's output included live recordings, such as "Live im SO36" (1979), alongside studio works that ranged from abstract instrumental compositions to more aggressively experimental material. Konnekschen's releases were distributed within underground and alternative music networks, contributing to the broader European experimental music landscape of the era. The label's focus on vinyl format and its limited but consistent output position it as a minor yet notable player in the Swiss and broader European underground music scene, preserving documentation of experimental artists working during a transformative period in electronic and avant-garde music history.
