Alex Smoke creates his own label

[Eikman]

starting a label is nothing exciting these days....in the past year there were a shitload of new labels and sub-labels, especially in the minimal/techno sector. i have so many 12"s from new german labels, but most of the releases remain pale compared to the ones on the established ones, but maybe that's just me.

i dont think smoke's label can rival the global players, especially not kompakt, which is probably one of the most important names in europe these days (the mp3 shop, the distribution, the booking agency...they are freakin huge), but as long as there is some fine stuff it is more than welcome.
