Lux Nigra

Profile:Lux Nigra is a record label from Berlin, Germany.
It was founded in 1998 by a linguist who goes by
the name of multipara for his musical activities.

Lux Nigra doesn't follow a particular sound or
conceptual definition, yet has its own,
unmistakable personality. While there is a focus
on rhythmic structure and energy, a love for
playful arrangements and melodies, and a general
sense for emotional tension, its releases embrace
great stylistic diversity and hybridisation.
All releases have their own, self-contained character,
yet there is a subtle underlying coherence behind
the apparent eclecticism. For this, there are various
reasons - a strong sense of design, an authentic and
personal rather than a trend/market-oriented
business-like approach, and ultimately, that the
label is shaped by exactly one person's taste and
interest in electronic music.

Although based in Berlin and inspired by the open
atmosphere of the city, the label is fairly
international, with artists from as far as Japan
and the U.S., and a worldwide distributor in
Manchester, UK.

The following catalog numbers are assigned to items of clothing: xylin 02 (t-shirt), xylin 05 (personalized t-shirts created "for selected Lux Nigra artists only") and xylin 20 (t-shirt/hooded sweatshirt).

Though often aligned with close partners Morr Music and City Centre Offices,
Multiparas Lux Nigra is, sadly, the most consistently overlooked electronic label. Despite releasing towering epics like Zorns "The Citys Collapsing..." (frequently confused with NY avant/improv godhead John Zorn) and the path-breaking "No Movement, No Sound..." compilation, Lux Nigra remains virtually unknown in comparison to the aforementioned labels. This is not to cast *any* aspersion on Morr or City Centre, but simply to say that digging for the Lux Nigra gems, given their uneven distribution, is well worth doing. Nothing on this label disappoints.
