IO Records – The audiovisual label and artist collective, based in Munich, Germany, is known for releases which are stylistically inspired by various genres such as Deep Techno, Bass Music, House and more. Catchy sound design and forward thinking visual art define the label’s manifold output.
The fundamental concept is defined by the thought that everything between I and O, alpha and omega is allowed. Each member shows a different stylistic approach in their work. The label represents a platform for its members free creative expression. This results in a colourful palette of sound aesthetics, making each release unique.
Part of this collective are Dycide, FTP Doctor, Kaf, Mordio, MTRL, Ohneweil, Polygonia and Tenzia.
Next to their release and podcast content, the members organise label nights at places such as Tresor Berlin, Kauz Zurich and others.
