SOPOT RECORDS

The artists decide what you will hear on their Sopot-Disk
Sopot Records was born when founder Thomas Hartmann saw an artist friend fall through the tight grid of other labels' ideas about what his music should be. The artist was the internationally renowned Hausmeister, aka Christian Przygodda (also from Die Auch, 12 Kappen Wasser and Go Plus) who could not find an adequate label for his 2004 electronic pop album, Look At Me Now.
Sopot Records is working with a wide range of artists such as Hausmeister (electronica/singer-songwriter from Bremen), Eveline (indie/electronic/folk/rock fromBologna), Hinterlandt (electronica/pop/noise from Bonn), Pit Przygodda (pop/singer-songwriter from Hamburg), Stuertz (pop/alternative from Hamburg), Tymon Tymanski (yass/jazz/avantgarde/rock/punk from Danzig), Künstler Treu, Chloe Leloup & Miss LaLaVox (electronica/pop from Berlin/Paris/NYC), Gasoline (electronic/creativ rockfrom Warsaw) and Lester Bowie & Milosc (jazz from Chicago/Danzig).
Sopot Records focuses on popular music, with an emphasis on "ambitious". The label is based in Bremen, with the main office situated in an artist-run warehouse space (Künstlerhaus Güterbahnhof / Spedition).
The location represents the choice to network and collaborate with musicians and artists of varioustypes. Business ethics and standards of communication at Sopot Records differ from those found atmany companies in the mainstream music industry, as Sopot makes a point of offering the artistsfull control over what will be heard on their album, and stands its ground against capitalism,sexism, racism and nationalist tendencies of any description.
