Modern electronic music
That’s pretty much what Milnor is all about. Started as a clubbing project back in 1998, it soon moved to be closely linked to the Global Village Club in mid-German Dessau. There, Milnor activities spread on the fields of booking, graphic artwork and club decoration. In 2002, the idea of an own record imprint arose and was kept till its realization in March 2003 with Treplec’s founding of Milnormodern Records (MMR).
Lerato Khathi (Lakuti) and Alan Abrahams (Portable) grew up at opposite parts, of south africa. Communities that had a lot in common. Poverty and deprivation, and a strong love of music, but because of the warped racial laws of the time. It meant these communities were sometimes in conflict even though they were both under the big thumb of the apartheid regime.
Alan and Lerato crossed paths in a suburb of Johannesburg called Yeoville in 1991. Yeoville became a mecca for all sorts of creative beings, white & black, who chose to ignore the laws of the times, by living together and creating art, music, film, great parties, real political debate and so forth.
Microcosm Music is based in New York City and was established in early 2004. It was the brainchild of Jakob Haglof, who runs Aesthetic Parcel design, and Ezekiel Honig, who acts as the label manager and A&R.
Microcosm is more concerned with the feel of the music than genre per se, with specific variations of minimal and quirky techno, textural ambience, and electro-acoustic compositions.
