Who we are:
Praxis is a label dedicated to experimental hardcore and radical breaks which was founded in 1992 in London. The first two 12" records came out at the end of that year, the Scaremonger EP and 'Knee-Jerk Reaction' by Bourbonese Qualk. These contributed to and commented on the rising techno and rave scene, coming from a background of experimental post punk and industrial music. Soon the label expanded and explored experimental hardcore, electronic weirdness, breakcore, speedcore and noise.
Since then there has been a steady stream of releases and activities, which we continue today and into the future from our base in Berlin. We have many many plans for this year, for releases as well as live events, as well as for publishing activities that go well beyond those of a 'record label'.
This shop is the primary outlet for traditional-format releases by the label, its associates and the wider network we are involved with as well as other items and productions of experimental electronic music and radical literature. This includes many exclusive titles and limited editions.
To find out more about the label's history, check out the 10th episode of The Molehill Report on our YouTube channel 'Noise & Politics' (click on the image below)
If you are a reseller (record store, book shop, online store, distributor etc.) please open a company account. We will then activate your B2B merchant account.

Leicht angestossen, Namensvermerk und ein paar Anstreichungen

Sehr guter Zst.

Papier bachgedunkelt, sonst gut.

«Für den Faschismus bleibt durchgängig konstitutiv, was für jede Form kapitalistisch organisierter Reproduktion der Gesamtgesellschaft gilt: daß die Erfordernisse der Kapitalverwertung sich durchsetzen. Am Unvermögen, der Kapitalverwertung einen alternativen Weg zu bahnen, scheiterten denn auch die bürgerlich parlamentarische Politik der Weimarer Endphase wie alle Versuche einer bürgerlichen Opposition gegen den Faschismus.» Johannes Agnoli In dieser Textsammlung setzt sich Agnoli mit dem deutschen und italienischen Faschismus auseinander. Er wendet sich hierbei vor allem gegen eine Geschichtsrevision, in deren Verlauf die Geschichte so revidiert und umgedeutet wird, «daß sie von allen Erscheinungen und von allen Missetaten gereinigt wird, die das Bild einer Hochkultur beflecken». So beschäftigt er sich etwa mit der These von Ernst Nolte bzw. Jürgen Habermas von einem Linksfaschismus (der Studentenbewegung oder des Sozialismus allgemein).

There are two versions of this tape, and we have one each in stock (January 2024). One has the very dark black/red cover and a black cassette, the other the light cover with white cassette. Let us know which one you would like.

The two pieces were recorded live in 2010 and 2003 respectively, also featuring the musicians Daniel Stalder, Peter Conradin Zumthor and Matthias Würsch. They were electronically treated by Cortex in the studion in 2015. This release continues the collaboration with Alex Buess that goes back to the pre-Praxis days of the Vision label since 1987 and includes Praxis 31 by 16-17 and Praxis 48 by Cortex, both of which also included Daniel Buess.

The latter were part of a close collaboration with Christoph Fringeli’s Vision label from 1987-1991, before Christoph moved to London and started the Praxis label, a collaboration that continued over the decades with releases by 16-17 and Cortex on Praxis. Alex has written compositions for various contemporary music ensembles and also works as a producer and sound engineer. He has appeared at numerous new music festivals and his compositions are performed in Europe and throughout the world. His studies include electronics, acoustics, musicology, phonetics,semantics and composition and his work reflects his experiences with electronic technology, written contemporary music, film music, new mixing and production techniques and computer music.
