Kannibalen Records is a Canadian independent electronic music record label based in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Notable artists that released on the label include Apashe, Black Tiger Sex Machine (BTSM), Dabin, Kai Wachi, and Snails.[1]

History

[edit]

Prior to the record label's founding in 2011, BTSM used to throw monthly electronic music parties at Le Belmont Nightclub, located in Montreal, called "Kannibalen" (lit. 'Cannibals').[2][3][4] Once BTSM officially formed Kannibalen Records, the name was picked due to its homage to the parties' theme of being "gory and gruesome".[5]

Kannibalen was founded as an in-between option that both smaller labels and the bigger labels, such as the Big three, didn't ideally offer for up-and-coming artists. BTSM wanted a record label that operates under a "free-but-focused" business philosophy. This meant two things for artists: Firstly, artists would exercise more "creative and timeline control" than what big labels typically have while simultaneously taking all the responsibility for setting and meeting their own expectations.[1][6] Secondly, Kannibalen would offer benefits such as the business administration and marketing aspects of being an artist and have networking opportunities with promoters and artists in the electronic music industry; Both aspects that smaller labels lacked.[7][8][2][3]

Kannibalen also releases its bi-weekly podcast called Kannibalen Radio: an hour-long DJ mix showcasing "unreleased tracks by well-known and undiscovered electronic music producers" within and outside the label.[9][10]

Kannibalen also has partnerships with third-party companies in the television, movie, and advertising industries.[11]

Headquartered in Montreal, Kannibalen Records has made it their mission to bring dark electro to the main stage of the EDM world. Founded by Patrick Barry, Marc-André, and Julien Maranda in 2011 the label has been collecting and unfurling deliciously filthy artists. The same trio comprise the label's leading act, Black Tiger Sex Machine, which creates super-charged, aggressive bass beats grafted with operatic vocals, militant snares, stinging synths and performs them in signature, LED synced, tiger helmets. The others enlisted to spread the Kannibalen virus are Apashe, Kai Wachi, Dabin, Lektrique, Karluv Klub, Dead Battery, and Snails. Focused on reaching across genres, each artist on this label is known for their genre-bending and potent individuality, preserving the underground vibe, challenging the mainstream, and luring followers thirsty for a hardcore experience. If you need a dose and can not wait for one these artists to come to a festival or venue near you, check out their Kannibalen Radio show hosted by Lektrique, for plenty of their latest releases, and mixes. Infection is inevitable and incurable.
