Short

Advanced Electronic Music Excursions. Nullpunkt explores instrumental music with space, time, tension and texture. Each record is carefully curated by Felix K. At its centre is Felix K, who, in Boomkat’s words, “smudges D&B and dub techno in writhing, wiry permutations”; with Ena he records as F&E, with Bassdee as Sparse. DB1, who co-curates the label, joins him and Forest Drive West in LEVL, and Logos in Rvshes. Also on the label: Martsman and Double O. Hard Wax heard “ace ultra-dark, deep hypnotizing Drum & Bass trips” in Felix K’s album Berlin, “fantastic Ambient Drum & Bass research & development” in the trio and “superb, atmospheric […] Techno spaces” in the duo.

Advanced Electronic Music Excursions. Nullpunkt explores instrumental music with space, time, tension and texture. Each record is carefully curated by Felix K. Felix K founded the label in Berlin in 2013, in the line of his Hidden Hawaii, an event series since 1998 and a label since 2008. At its centre is Felix K, who, in Boomkat’s words, “smudges D&B and dub techno in writhing, wiry permutations”; with Ena he records as F&E, with Bassdee as Sparse. DB1, who co-curates the label, joins him and Forest Drive West in LEVL, and Logos in Rvshes. Also on the label: Martsman and Double O. Hard Wax, which distributes the records worldwide, heard “ace ultra-dark, deep hypnotizing Drum & Bass trips” in Felix K’s album Berlin, “fantastic Ambient Drum & Bass research & development” in the trio and “superb, atmospheric […] Techno spaces” in the duo. The name stands for “the last moment before asymmetry, at which emergent forms become intelligible.”
