rossdressing

iogenes is
a record label based in

erlin and is currently operated by

ecoming.

“At one time, the label was focused on

inimalism, but within rave music the term

inimalism can be problematic. It can be hard to understand what it means to call a genre of rave music “

inimal” when you could argue that all rave music is minimalist; having emerged out of the collision between the

frofuturisms and

inimalisms of communities in

ew

ork,

erlin and so on. Today, we therefore prefer to use the term

-

inimalism as a way of hinting towards this discourse.

inimal but not that kind of minimal.”    

“We started as a fanzine for

ave

ulture

lectronic

usic in

yprus. The zine was documenting (and  affirming) the local rave scene on the island of  

enus (

yprus). This practice of zine-making (art direction, printing & critical writing) lead to the development of a wider publishing practice that also encompassed music, radioshows, essays, larger magazines and books.”  

“Eventually, the scope of the project began to exceed what

rossdressing

iogenes as an idea could contain, and we began building a project that could house our developing publishing practice:

ecoming. At some point during the process of building this new project,

rossdressing

iogenes fell out of rotation, and temporarily disappeared. Yet, in

ctober 2023 we decided to re-open the label as an imprint of

ecoming.”
