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)

Released as a free 7" in a "official bootleg" style in 1995! Folded sheet sleeve is a bit worn. Record in VG+ condition!
Original sealed copy of the triple vinyl Caustic WIndow compilation from 1998. Never opened/never played! Cover has a bit of storage wear (see scan) Important note: Records packaged in those PVC sleeves are prone to so called "vinyl cancer", which manifests itself in a "foggy" surface. This can affect play a little bit, so even mint records can have some surface noise. In this case I can't see if the records are affected. In other words I can not see any signs of them being affected, but I can't guarantee it. I always recommend to unpack records in PVC sleeves immediately and re-bag them in paper sleeves.
MINT VINYL - STILL SEALED WITH ORIGINAL STICKER!! unfortunately the sleeve doesn't look so nice - other covers have rubbed off on the white parts, and there are some fingerprints on the black. (see picture)
Re-release of M-001 with different label on B side and different tracklisting.
used copy in great condition - would grade it between VG and VG+

Self titled debut album by Duma on Nyege Nyege Tapes from Uganda. I reckon this is the 2021 transparent vinyl pressing, but this copy is still sealed, so I can't verify for sure. Slight bump on bottom right corner. Label info: Martin Khanja (aka Lord Spike Heart) and Sam Karugu emerge from Nairobi's flourishing underground metal scene as former members of the bands Lust of a Dying Breed and Seeds of Datura. Together in 2019 they formed Duma (Darkness in Kikuyu) with Sam abandoning bass for production and guitars and Lord Spike Heart providing extreme vocals to the project. Recorded at Nyege Nyege Studios in Kampala over three months in mid 2019 their self-titled debut album fuses the frenetic euphoria, unrelenting physicality and rebellious attitude of hardcore punk and trash metal with bone-crunching breakcore and raw, nihilist industrial noise through a claustrophobic vortex of visceral screams. The savant mix of brutally adrenalized drums, caustic industrial trap, shredding grindcore inspired guitars and abrupt speed changes create a darkly atmospheric menace and is lethal on tracks like the opener "Angels and Abysses" , "Omni" or "Uganda with Sam". The gruelling slow techno dirges and monolithic vocals on "Pembe 666" or "Sin Nature" add a pinch of dramatic inevitability bringing a new sense of theatricality and terrifying fate awaiting into the record's progression. A sinister sonic aggression of feral intensity with disregard for styles, Duma promises to impact the burgeoning African metal scene moving it into totally new, boundary-challenging experimental territories.
