Our headquarters are situated in Augsburg (a town with 275.000 people, located in the conservative Bavaria, South-Germany), which is a cultural desert for people who live and feel beyond mass culture. Since forever here it was very hard to find spaces and rooms for sub-cultural activities. Nevertheless (or: just for that very reason) there were always small, but very lively underground circles. Our circle came together in the mid 90's and since then has steadily engaged in activities around electronic music. From 1996-2000 we were quite involved in the "Elektrik Nacht" party-series, which took place once a month (mainly with local DJ's, live performers & video artists). These parties became the crowded meeting-point for electronic music freaks from the whole area, but in 2000, for various reasons, it was decided to suspend the series... Very soon the need arose to start something new and so the K6 network was founded in fall 2000. The original idea was to organize regular parties with a local and selected international line-up.

Very soon the need arose to start something new and so the K6 network was founded in fall 2000. The original idea was to organize regular parties with a local and selected international line-up. The first K6-Party happened three months later (feat. Bunker Records from Holland, January 2001). Soon after, it was decided to run a record label named Kommando 6. This label would mainly feature underground producers from the Augsburg area. The first vinyl-release of Kommando 6 (K6-I, V.A. "Dark Rooms", March 2002) introduced some local producers whose tracks had deserved to come out of the hidden production-rooms. After that first compilation, some of these producers took the opportunity to release more of their material on EP's or LP's. From 2003 on, the label was opened up to include selected producers from beyond Augsburg & Germany. Between March 2002 and March 2006 twenty records will have been released on Kommando 6 records...
