About Elektrax
Elektrax Recordings was founded in the year of 2001 in Sydney, Australia, by DJ and producer DJ Hi-Shock. The first vinyl release "Nagano Trax vol.1" was pressed and distributed throughout Europe via Soundbase, Germany. The label was then re-started digitally in 2005 with some limited re-releases of still fresh sounding productions from the late 90's and introducing latest material from international talents.
These days Elektrax is 80% digital and 20% conventional record label focusing on releasing mainly Deep, Minimal and Hard Techno, Dark Progressive, Psy Tekkno and Hard Trance.
With releases and remixes from new and established producers such as Zen Paradox, Secret Surfer, Sonic Voyagers, Tr-Storm, FSOM, Psi Room, Thomas P. Heckmann, and head-honcho DJ Hi-Shock, the label has already built up a solid identity and is gaining support from many top DJs worldwide.
Why Digital Label?
Our label have deliberately chosen to be mostly a digital record label. More music has been purchased through digital download sales than ever before and physical record and cd sales are constantly dropping.
Digital sales allow us to spend more money on marketing and promotion as we are able to save on shipping and manufacturing costs of physical product and associated costs of distribution.
We are a complete record label and we don't just sell the music on-line but also provide a full and comprehensive service for our signed artist which includes:
- press releases
- on-line promotion
- member promotion to our international subscribers
- remixes of your tracks by other record producers
- radio plugging
- artwork design
- limited edition cd and vinyl compilations
- events to promote the launch of a major release or a new artist on our label
Elektrax Recordings also runs a sub-label and can assist the artist with an easy transition if he/she decides to experiment with a different style of music under a new alias.
