The task to define Mole borders on sheer impossibility, as Mole manages to metamorphose into almost anything without losing its distinctive identity. Mole moves in the realm of electronic music, so much for sure. Mole oscillates between the poles of abstraction and club suitability by consciously transcending established genres or any kind of categorization. The objective of Mole is to release good Music of true artists while generating positive vibes. Sounds banal, but hits the bull’s eye. The artists and their music create an acoustic mosaic which is constantly reassembled but always remains recognizable. A paradox: although there is no typical Mole sound, you can immediately feel and sense the sound of Mole.
The core ideas of Mole include the determined willingness to foster its artists and to provide them with time and space to develop their message. Mole does not steal a glance on short-term success but has its eye on long-term building up.
The whole thing is quite obviously an experiment: an open production process with unpredictable outcome — subjected to continuous control of ground-breaking potential and quality. Mole invites to take joy in the pleasures of life: at art openings, on designer sofas, under silky sheets, but also in laid-back clubs, in steaming bathrooms or in front of fireplaces loaded with flickering desire. Mole provides the sound to all the moods in life.
At this point, Mole does not stop but rather takes another step by targeting the realm of the visual aesthetic. Since the origin of the label, the ongoing and continuous collaboration with only a view picky excellent graphic designers — this is also an eminent part within the label’s philosophy. They translate and transform the sounds of Mole into a compelling visual concept. Concept-oriented design, careful and loving attention to detail as well as highly-polished typographical work are more important than what may be currently “in” or “trendy”. At Mole, acoustic and visual aesthetic go hand in hand to create listening pearls with long-lasting value.
