Deck8
Deck8 is a Dortmund-based music label that is best known for the releases of Main Concept and Lee Buddah .
Emerging from the underground of the German scene in the mid-1990s, Deck8 was able to make a name for itself throughout Germany with the first releases of Main Concept (for example Coole Scheiße or Plan 58 ). In-house media and fans have always attached special importance to the label for its long-term work, but this weakened in the early 2000s, which ultimately drove Deck8 to ruin in 2001. A year later, Deck8 was able to resume production through a collaboration with the major label BMG / Zomba. In addition, there was the sub-label Decktronics, which should enable the former hip-hop record company to publish in the rock and electronic sectors.
Other well-known releases include Pottmüree vom Dike , 1999 ... From Front by DCS and The Smart Blip Experience by Waxolutionists .
