Klein Allstars 1

Since the foundation of the label in 1996 it has always been the primary goal, to be open-minded and focussed at the same time. Klein always had the intent, to showcase the wide variety of a vital musicscene, whose members experiment with styles as well as create some new ones, while at it. It wasn?t long until first success with critics and audiences came with the Vienna - based Breakbeat/Dub-Collective SOFA SURFERS. Soon after followed the Electronica/Soul/House-Outfit MIKA, the Big Beat/Breakbeat-Soulster of MUM, Swiss Multitalent SEELENLUFT, Breakbeat/Dub/Ragga-Grandmaster Kevin Martin aka THE BUG and the solo-excursions in SoulDub of Sofa Surfer I-WOLF. These innovative Visionaries with a keen eye on the dancefloor pointed out that Klein Records is a label which functions as a detector for individualistic approaches in music, regardless of what corner of the soundcosmos the protagonist would hail from. Beats, Breaks, Electronica, KrautDub, PunkFunk, DiscoWave, LeftfieldHouse, Dancehall, Soul, Indietronic ? it?s not the style that counts, it?s the form of expression. Almost needless to say that international signings like STRATUS or THE BUG approve the distinctive course of the label. It?s a Klein world.
