About

Mego is an Austrian record label specializing in experimental and industrial music, based in Vienna. The label emerged in the 1990s as a vital outlet for avant-garde and electronic music practitioners working in the Austrian underground scene. Mego's catalog reflects a commitment to experimental sound art and contemporary composition, releasing works across multiple formats including vinyl, cassette, and CD. The label's roster has featured notable artists in the electronic and experimental music communities, including Fennesz, whose 1998 release "Fennesz Plays" showcases the label's focus on innovative approaches to electronic composition and processing. Early releases from the mid-1990s demonstrate Mego's interest in conceptual and sonic exploration, with titles suggesting both abstract and thematic approaches to sound. The label has maintained a reputation for supporting challenging, forward-thinking music that resists easy categorization, positioning itself within the broader European experimental music network. Mego's significance lies in its role as a platform for artists exploring the boundaries between noise, composition, and digital sound manipulation during a formative period in electronic music history.
