Merck Records
About
Merck Records is a Miami based label owned by Gabe Koch, home to artists producing experimental electronic music. The music has a upbeat and melodic and technical feel to it. Obvious influences are early UK labels like Warp, Skam, and Rephlex.
Their releases cover a wide range of styles, from cut up vocal hip hop by their most prominent artist Machinedrum, to central IDM by artists like Proem, Mr. Projectile, and Deru, to indie-influenced electronic music like Tiki Obmar or Lateduster. They also release a wide geographical range of artists, from all over Europe and the US, as well as Australia, Russia and Japan.
Merck is somewhat known for only putting forth minimal artist images, and not promoting the label in the traditional music industry push style. Merck had produced 51 CD releases and 50 vinyl records by February 2007, at which point it ceased releasing new material.
