Press Info:
Minimum Syndicat (also known as MS or M-Syndicat) are two musicians from Paris who have been making electronic noise and live performances for decades. They are known for their very unique mix of acid, rave and industrial on the one hand and cinematic, psychedelic, sci-fi landscapes on the other.
S.C.H.O.R.L. is their first full length album. Like some kind of bleak space opera it tells its story of lonely subaquatic outposts, Soviet droids and mantis-priests gathering.
The core is spaced out electro, but it also has elements of techno, doomcore, breakbeat and industrial, one could say. “At this point subgenres are less important than in the past, it’s more like the alternative electronic scene against the industry turning techno into moronic money-driven entertainment.“, they say, and right they are.
The album features two collaborations with French heavyweights Umwelt and Voiron, the artwork comes from the legendary Belgian artist Elzo Durt, who made some of our strongest artworks in the past and who is a fan of Minimum Syndicat himself. The 2×12“ is limited to 100 copies, handnumbered and comes with a silk-screen A2 poster with a version of the artwork.
MS will also be releasing a special series of digital releases called “Mutant Signal“ on their own label.

“The Aftermath (A Bitter Victory)”
Press Info:
Wellen.Brecher is an inclusive band that emerged from the Killekill’s Berlin-based project Ick Mach Welle. It consists of Werner Soyeaux aka Bläck Dävil, Uwe Locati aka DJ Locati, Dave Senan aka Senator and Hanni Kusch, a member of the German punk band Pisse.
After a very busy year 2022 with touring, the band are ready to bring you their debut EP “Hitmaschine”. Included on the release is “Lasst Uns Feiern”, the band’s “Anthem”, a banging rave influenced mega-hit that manages to hit-hard and deep while keeping the overall vibe happy and fun. For his remix, The Hacker radically cuts things back while adding a hefty portion of 90s hardcore to deliver you another “hit”.
On the B side, band member DJ Locati strikes sonorous notes with his vocals, spread over a base of hypnotic acid trance and progressively developing into a deep dive down into a rave tunnel. Rounding out the record is a guest appearance by the band 21Downbeat. Their reinterpretation of Wellen.Brecher’s Tierisch Verboten (which was released as the opener of the “Superbrains” compilation on Killekill) brings a healthy dose of smashing new-wave to the proceedings. Finally, as a digital bonus track, Furfriend goes one even further with a gritty techno remix of Brummbär.

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of our Krake Festival, we have compiled this compilation of tracks by artists who played for us over the last 10 years and from labels who have donated for our raffle. It would have been too much to ask all of the artists we love, so we have come up with this selection. One third of the tracks have been previously released, but the majority has never seen daylight before and is exclusive to this release. There was no limit in style or genre and so compilation is as diverse as our festival, crossing over from ambient/drone to industrial techno, from techno to wave.
All buyers buying before Dec 10th, 2020 will automatically take part in our charity raffle/tombola with great prizes by numerous record labels and tech partners. Each purchase will be treated as one lot, so if you buy both you have doubled your chances! You could raise your chances even more by buying several copies! (nudge nudge)
The profit of this compilation will be donated 50% to Seawatch and 50% to the inclusive project Ick Mach Welle, which teaches people with learning disabilities how to make electronic music.

Press Info:
For its tenth anniversary, Killekill decided it is worth to resurrect the main label and bring it back in full effect with another compilation of tracks by our beloved family members, favorite artists and bestest friends. Cat. number 020 was never released, and we thought, this celebratory occasion was perfect to fill that gap, so everything is cleared, and we can step into the next decade.
We start off with a track by MMM, the legendary duo consisting of Fiedel and Errorsmith, known for pushing the boundaries with every of their very rare releases. This one is an extremely simple, but effective weapon to destroy all dancefloors with its slightly loutish appeal. Neil Landstrumm got together with Brian Rays and produced a bleeper hit with catchy vocals. We don’t know who the lyrics refer to, but they definitely express a punky fuck-off attitude, which we are missing a lot nowadays.
Poison Green on the B-side is an alias of Cassegrain’s Alex Tsiridis alias Rhyw, who is also one half of Cassegrain. With “Diamino Butane” he kicks off this new alias, which is meant for the dirtier electro side of his productions, and it’s a hit.
Flamingo Overlord is a collab between Killekill label boss Nico Deuster alias DJ Flush and Irish DJ and producer Jamie Behan. They also collaborate under the more ghetto house-focused name Cork Bangers, but here, they come up with an electro track of epic quality.
Swarm Intelligence has always been part of the Killekill family in some way. After the release of his fabulous album on Voitax recently, we are happy to finally welcome him on our label with one of the dark techno stompers he is known for. Following this is Dez Williams with “Lord Prophet”, undoubtedly, the the hardest track of this compilation – full speed ahead! Full stop after that for The Horrorist with one of his darkest and probably most spooky tracks ever released: The Inferno paints a picture of a twisted, sick love with its haunting melody, moony sound and no beats.
W.H.O.R.E.S is a collab of Killekill boss DJ Flush with one of his personal all-time electronic music heroes Tobias Schmidt. The track was created as part of a rather extended studio session with Cynthia Stern in his studio, which had various outcomes, one of them being this electro track with a haunting melody, catching the dark atmosphere of Berlin’s winter. Next is one of our key figures, Alienata in cooperation with Sync 24, one of the realest souls in electronic music and electro in particular. They have produced an electro belter of incredible energy – driving beats, acid bassline, lots of sweeps and fiddles and a voice from outer space.
Merimell is new to us, although she is not new to the scene. Holding up the quality techno level in Estonia, she has released on DJ Haus’ UTTU before, and we are more than happy with that dark, thrusting beast of a bassline over funky beats. Watch out for her! Boy-8-bit is not really new to the scene as well. Releases on Boysnoize and Turbo are not on everyone’s achievements list, but when he sent us NYX, he was quite new to us. He delivered a fascinating track. It’s 100% acid, but not repeating the old acid scheme at all, it sounds totally fresh and unique. Future acid.
The Mover, well, what shall we say? After the classics remastered last year, he just released “Undetected Act from the Gloom Chamber” on our Boidae imprint. With his sound aesthetics and his independent spirit, he has become an inseparable part of our family, and hence, to this compilation as well. A funky beat, a melody from outer space and his engineering on an unseen level – that’s the ingredients for another masterpiece.
The last track comes from Tigerhead, a young dj and producer from Berlin, who got in touch a while ago and has become an essential part of our family since then. Her “Epilog” consists of a monumental breakbeat, saturated with dubby chords and crowned with her dreamy voice.
