Audiotrauma label closes down after 20 years
The Strasbourg, France based noise label Audiotrauma will close its doors. The label has been active for 20 years and says that its closure is due to the new economic model of distribution “(which) is only good for the majors and and the disposable and bankable musicians.”
The French associative label from Strasbourg was created in January 2002 by Syco Trauma, and was dedicated to the creation and the diffusion of experimental electronic projects in music (mainly electro and industrial) and in visual arts.
At the moment the label is cleaning its stocks before closing its doors forever.

Why we ask
Advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations we have not put up a paywall, and we refuse to add annoying advertising, so we need to ask for your help. Side-Line’s independent journalism takes time, money and hard work to produce, and we do it to push the artists we like, who are equally fighting to survive.

Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil.
