Editions Mego

Editions Mego was founded on January 1st, 2006 by Peter Rehberg. The label's main goal is to preserve the legacy and catalog of the now defunct Mego label, while also releasing new and innovative works.
With a focus on experimental music and sound art, Editions Mego has become a leading force in the industry. They are known for their commitment to pushing boundaries and exploring new sonic territories.
Whether you're a long-time fan or just discovering their unique offerings, Editions Mego offers a diverse range of releases that will captivate and challenge your musical sensibilities.

First time vinyl issue of this 1997 Mego classic. General Magic, the duo of Ramon Bauer and Andi Pieper, who, alongside Pita, first pioneered the classic Mego sound on the Fridge Trax 12" in 1995. The following year proved to be formulative when Mego released Frantz alongside a slew of game changing releases from Farmers Manuel, Pita and Fennesz.

Originally released as MEGO 010 Frantz presented a thrilling digression from what was in vogue in music at the time. This was the advent of portable computing and the Vienna based label was at the forefront of harnessing the potential of audio within this new technology.

At once smart and playful these releases reconfigured once disparate genres such as industrial, techno, glitch and the avant garde, folding them into a bright, audacious and euphoric new system of sound. The music on Frantz (named after the Austrian skier, Franz Klammer) still pushes the boundaries of acceptable audio constructions with it's startling fried electricity and twisted sensibility. The sense of joy in the audio discovery is palatable as techno laced explorations unfold a variety of unexpected and unprecedented sonic manoeuvres.
