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.

Alex Buess, Markus Kneubühler and Christoph Fringeli with a rough mixture of improvised music with a forthright powerful beat & high tech as well as trash electronics. A work of energetic urgency that lives up to its name! From 1989! Mint copies from the label's vaults!

from 1990, this is the last - and most electronic Fluid Mask EP - four tracks on 45. Pristine copy from the label archives!

1990. Four tracks by Melx (Alex Buess, Markus Kneubühler, Christoph Fringeli) on Vision.

Solo drumtracks by Knut Remond, then drummer of 16-17 (and former member of Voice Crack and UnknownmiX) from 1991. Tribal industrial house dub, the four tracks on the debut EP, simply titled "Vol. 1", were more inspired by the Mohawk insurrection in Quebec the previous year (where Remond was present) than by Manchester, and closer to African Head Charge than the usual House sound.

Neutral: Motion of since her entry into this crazy world in 1974, neutral’s nicole elmer has seen the bulk of human existence in an intense light. anyone familiar with her well-received 1999 debut as neutral, font translation errors, knows this straightaway-as will those who subsequently came across her compilation appearances for component and n5md, or her successful 7-inch on mike “µ-ziq” paradinas’ planet-µ imprint as well as the driving backwards ep for mad monkey/hymen in 2001. but as her new neutral album, motion of, suggests, that intensity is more than just ferocious post-industrial angst and gale-force lyrics. there’s a subtlety to nicole’s creative vision that is just now manifesting itself in her music. “this record became more about simplicity. i don’t think in the end that it sounds very simple, but compared to font translation errors, it is,” says nicole of her new album, which in comparison to her releases over the last three years takes on a strikingly visual, almost cinematic quality throughout its ten tracks. and rightly so. nicole has returned to painting as a means of rendering her vision, and like her painting, motion of is bold, fleshy abstract lines of vibrant color bleeding into sound shadows, where the dark demons on malevolent creativity thrive in the at-times stark contrast. where her media includes everything from canvas to cardboard box tops to massive spans of plywood, nicole’s stylistic range on motion of veers to the suppleness of ambient piano and those classic lush synths on “…” and “desire of,” as well as the scorn-like industrial down tempo grit groove of “180.” likewise, nicole’s experiences traveling through europe have morphed her views on creative methods as well-streamlined the process by removing more of the software artifice. it’s not hard to see how her increased use of traditional instruments is tied, however tenuously, to her having spent a summer in the czech republic-the quaint guitar riffs and accented bass strumming on the moody “4 minutes” as harkening to her enjoyment of local street performers in prague and other places. that like her picturesque walk along the cinque terre this last summer, the twangy “bird in the air” balances between the lush, organic wildlife of guitar, flute, and wispy vocals...and the craggy, angular electro cliffs of rigid downtempo loops and gentle swells of dsp noise crashing far below. “i was challenged by the idea of including vocals, something that had always daunted me quite a bit in the past,” she notes. “i was enamored of trying it out because contemporary electronic music composers tended to shy away from using their own voices in their works. but a lot of my idols from the 80’s and early 90’s had used their voices or were part of a band and had a vocalist, as opposed to using a menagerie of guest vocalists. putting my voice into the mix was a real different but in some ways, nostalgic thing to do.” hymen considers motion of to be a very important step in nicole’s evolution, and thus established a collaboration with texas-based mad monkey records in an effort to make nicole’s intense amalgam of industrial passion, classic electronic sounds, and anti-folk emotional rawness more readily accessible to her growing worldwide fan base. nicole’s creative vision has reached a new plateau on motion of.

2004

Rare & good mixture of hardtek and hardcore from Cavage. One of the last releases by Saoulaterre that is still available. NDE was one of those Cavage offshoot labels with just one release. All of them are definitely worth seeking out! Note that the snippets might not be in the right order.

After killing her father who had attempted to rape her, Maria da Guerra is sentenced to prison for life. The wardress is a sadistic lesbian without mercy or humanity. Upon her arrival Maria is taken to a special section for mentally disturbed prisoners where torture, rape and bestial violence are part of the day-to-day reality. One day the Regional Governor arrives, claiming to have received a letter from one of the prisoners describing incredible events in the prison. The writer of the letter was clearly unaware that the Governor is also part of the conspiracy. Carlos Costa, a male nurse pretending to be the prison doctor Moore, falls in love with Maria. After seducing him, Maria kills him with a pair of scissors and escapes with her friends Bertha and the disturbed Rosario, hoping to find safety in the Governor’s house, unaware that he will of course not help them... Mature audiences only!

'Drumtrax' by 'DJ Jackal' is a classic release from the early teknival days, a multiple name concept that was seeking to push the facelessness of underground techno further - this particular disc was recorded on the dodgiest equipment around the Elephant and Castle area in slightly precarious circumstances. It collects 5 tracks of hard experimental acidic hardcore tekno shit - you know the score! this record was released in 2 different editions, the first being a coloured vinyl one with no additional infos - the second (and it's a copy of this second edition that we're selling here) on black vinyl. Both editions were limited to 500 copies each also available as high quality download in different formats here: http://praxisrecords.bandcamp.com/album/drumtrax-praxis-9
