Mercurochrome is a Swiss collective whose aim is to promote the Electronic Culture on all levels. Consisting of 6 people, Mercurochrome finds its origins in the multiplicity of each individuals knowledge and experiences, gained over the latter half of the nineties, coming together. This fusion resulted in their infamous parties held in the cities and the countryside of the Juraissan. These events drew from Hip Hop culture as well as the Industrial resulting in the exploration of the more radical margins of sound. This was done whilst creating a festive spirit, lacking in many such experiments, giving it the impetus and reason to explore further, pushing the boundaries of 'sound experience' to the limit without neglecting the fact that people are out to enjoy themselves. It was this raw, honest energy that drew Jason Leach(aka SUBHEAD) to the project. Inspired by the 'highly organised mayhem' that is a Mercurochrome event and the high Standard of Mercurochrome's artists he felt that this should be experienced by a wider audience.
