	about the label: Kône records was created by three people passionate for electronic music in geneva about 8 years ago... Since the begining, we have recorded, mastered and produced our EPs independently. We are proud to be completely independent from the music industry. The first vinyl record was produced in the summer of 2001. After one year of building contacts all around the europe, kône launched the second EP in february 2003. The third release, a 10” record of a spanish electro band, was out in may 2003… So now the label is enjoying its life in a peaceful way with already seven releases out :) The kône crew is also working on different projects like DJing, producing live-acts, recording live radio broadcasts for geneva’s internet radio basic.ch, uploading mixes to the IF’s cybernetic-broadcasting system, and so on...
	about our artists:
	davecore (geneva - ch/es) - www.konerec.net / http://www.mx3.ch/artist/davecore DaveCore is a 31-year old Spanish man born in Geneva (Switzerland). He was the first to release an EP on kône but is also one of the founding members of the label. Influenced by the music of the 80's, computers and his brother's music, he started playing music with one of the first Casio keyboards. He immediately started to replay music from Kraftwerk and other 80' s artists, with no other purpose than having a good time...The production virus was activated by playing acoustic and electronic drums in various local bands, from jazz, rock to gothic techno. By adding keyboards and drum boxes to his little studio, he started his first homemade music. After years of sharing instruments and studios with many essential friends, the first EP was finally conceived on Kône records in 2001. This highly productive guy has recorded over 300 tracks in 2001. the run! EP has been very well received worldwide by the musical community in countries such as Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, the US and Japan… His second EP was released in 2002 and was just as successful as the first one. In parallel to his producing activities, DaveCore has been contributing as a “megamixer” for the IF's CBS. He has also been making some DJ appearances since his early days. Our hyperactive man also regularly takes part in the kône radio show on basic.ch as well as in parties where he is playing live with kône DJ's... discography on kône records: kone001 - davecore - Run!

	luke eargoggle (gothenburg - se) - myspace.com/lukeeargoggle - stilleben records Raised with all kinds of acoustic music and Oldschool, luke was hit with electro like a tornado and with Egyptian lover and others in the mid 80´s. After listening to that music and painting Graffiti for years, other interests came in the way and the electro misson was almost forgotten … But then in 1997, a friend of his went to the USA to study and left his studio at Eargoggles house. “Use it if you like” he said - and so he did. After some producing and experimenting for some time, electro came back like a blast from the past. Today he lives in Sweden, Gothenburg, in a house near the sea where he can be left alone to do what he´s meant to do. Eargoggle is a designed vision from brain to black shiney plastic vinyl… During the year of 2005, more music was made in the same direction/studio but still with the drive to explore more than what was made before in Electro music and v/a styles.. discography on kône records: kone007 - luke eargoggle - "the return of my style EP"
