ABOUT COLD TRANSMISSION

COLD TRANSMISSION is an independent international music platform based near Frankfurt, Germany, dedicated to the darker side of Post-Punk, Darkwave, Coldwave, EBM and electronic music.

Founded in 2018, COLD TRANSMISSION grew out of a passion for the international dark underground and the desire to connect artists, listeners and scenes from all over the world. Today, COLD TRANSMISSION brings together several different activities under one name: an independent record label, a platform for artists and music, a curator of compilations and DJ sets, and a promoter of concerts, events and collaborations.

The COLD TRANSMISSION MUSIC record label is one part of what we do. We work closely with our artists, releasing their music in digital and physical formats and building long-term relationships based on trust, mutual support and a shared passion for music.

Supporting the wider underground scene has always been at the heart of what we do. Through our compilation series, Mixcloud shows, DJ sets, events and other projects, we regularly showcase artists and bands who are not part of our record label roster. These platforms allow us to discover and support new music, connect different scenes and help artists reach new audiences.

Before COLD TRANSMISSION became a record label, we started with our ZEITGEIST digital compilation series and regular Mixcloud shows. Since 2017, these projects have featured hundreds of artists from the international dark underground on 19 ZEITGEIST compilations and over 250 Mixcloud shows to date.

Whether an artist is part of our record label, appears on a ZEITGEIST compilation, is featured in one of our DJ sets or crosses our path through a concert or collaboration, we see ourselves as part of the same international underground community. Personal contact, trust and mutual support are fundamental to the way we operate. We believe that a healthy music scene grows through collaboration rather than competition - by sharing music, introducing artists to new audiences and creating connections across borders.

Over the years, COLD TRANSMISSION has grown into a global network of artists, labels, promoters, DJs and music lovers. Our activities span record releases, compilations, DJ and Mixcloud shows, concerts, label nights, festivals and international collaborations.

At the centre of everything is the same idea that started it all:
Support the music. Connect the people. Keep the underground alive.
