Regelwidrig

About

Regelwidrig is an underground record label that operated during the early 1990s, releasing experimental and industrial music across multiple formats. Based on its documented catalog, the label issued material on cassette and vinyl LP between 1991 and 1994, suggesting a commitment to physical media formats characteristic of independent labels during this era. The label's name, which translates from German as "irregular" or "unlawful," reflects an aesthetic aligned with the avant-garde and experimental music communities. Regelwidrig's release roster included conceptually challenging works, as evidenced by titles such as "A Persons Healthy Guide To Listening" and "The Fifth Complaint Concerns Emotional Disturbances," indicating an interest in provocative, introspective, and unconventional approaches to sound and presentation. Though relatively small in documented output with at least three known releases, Regelwidrig positioned itself within the broader European underground music infrastructure of the early 1990s, contributing to the experimental and industrial music community during a period of significant creative exploration in these genres.
