Tesco Organisation is a German record label, mail order company and distributor, specialising in industrial, noise, neofolk and ambient music.[1] Tesco has also organised music festivals in the past such as "Heavy Electronics", "Tesco Disco" and "Festival Karlsruhe"[2]
History
Formation
Tesco Organisation started as a mail order company in 1987[2] releasing music from the Industrial music genre. The organisation had noticed there was a gap between the music they liked and what was being released by other record labels.[2] In 1989 the label released their first Genocide Organ album, titled "Leichenlinie".[2] Shortly after this release, Tesco expanded and created their sub-label, Functional Organisation, primarily for the re-release of unknown cassette recordings[2][3].The label's early releases were packaged in special covers such as oversized card folders and sleeves, influenced by the LP covers of the band Zoviet France.[2] Early releases were recorded by the organisations members and their friends.[2] The music Tesco wanted to release was in the style of earlier Industrial bands like Throbbing Gristle and Lustmord.[2]
Principles
The organisation does not involve itself in any PR, but instead lets its artists speak on their behalf.[2] The artists who release recordings on the organisation's record label all have something in common with Tesco. The organisation's members stay neutral and support their recording artist's views.[2] Tesco states that they have no visible ideology, instead expressing a fascination for other people who are outspoken and direct; no matter what politics they follow. They express an enjoyment of the aesthetics of decay and the decline of the Western world. They state that when living in a country where you are not allowed to own any nationalism you have a lot to criticize.[2]
