Karate Joe is a record-label which was fast becoming a signpost in drawing a own blueprint for the warped electronica and post-rock sounds coming out of the post-electronic-post-rock-everything-scene (Dean Roberts). Located in Vienna (Austria) we're in business since April 2002.
KJ Rec's first home was an old mill called Cselley Mühle located in the countryside of the province burgenland in austria, fairly close to the capital city of austria. Since 2003 the label has its HQ in vienna.
KJ Rec offers a variety of artists, bands and collectives ranging from minimal pop over bombastic kitsch ballads to nostalgic rock`n roll. Rock-Action mixed particulary with various electronic styles in music and/or pure digital compositions.
We've 20 releases out so far and are distributed in many territories, eg. Austria, Benelux, Scandinavia, US, Asia.
Current Roster: Kutin, Lars Stigler, Charmant Rouge, Glim, Pendler, Takuma Itoi
