| Profile: | The independent record label Electro-Shock-Records started in Neubrandenburg (Germany) in the spring 2003! The idea for an own label was born after a PopKomm (Music Fair Trade/Cologne) aftershow-party in the Rhein/Main Area @ Germany in the year 2002 by Jens Krause & his producer friend Vernon B. (Producer/Remixer of Artists like Front 242, Talla 2XLC, Blind Vision, Trance Allstars and many more..and producer of many Music Research-Releases in the 90s!)
The label-logo was signed by U.V.S. (member of the band Shock Of Reality), the idea comes from label-manager!
The label-owner/manager Jens Krause (2) was formerly known as music-journalist for many european magazines New Life, BodyStyler, Zillo, Orkus, Sonic Seducer and on the international level for Side-Line/Belgium and Release/Sweden! He compiled in the years before he started his own label-project many CD-Compilations for different labels:
- Zoth Ommog: Body Rapture 8
