Karate Joe Records
Karate Joe Records was an Austrian independent label based in Vienna.
history
Karate Joe Rec. Was founded in February 2002 by Andreas Berger, Thomas Pronai and Robert Pinzolits in the Cselley Mill in Oslip near Eisenstadt ( Austria ). The legal basis of the label was initially an association under the Austrian Association Act. After a few months, Andreas Berger and Thomas Pronai left the label to mainly focus on their musical projects. From then on, all label shops were run by Robert Pinzolits and the label headquarters were relocated to Vienna in the same step. In 2005 Robert Pinzolits and Tobi Hach of the German independent label Payola started working together . Tobi Hach took care of the label's promotion and sales activities on the German music market until 2006. The label output decreased in the same year on the one hand due to the rapidly falling sales figures due to the global collapse of the music industry, on the other hand due to the professional activities of Robert Pinzolits as a freelance graphic designer. Together with Natalie Dietrich he was responsible for the design of the label artwork. In May 2011 the label work was officially stopped.
Publications
All publications were physically produced on phonograms and distributed in the phonogram trade. Until 2006, the sales network extended across Central and Northern Europe, the USA, Japan and Taiwan. The entire catalog was available for download.
