It's difficult to explain these labels in a few
words but here goes...
A-Musik is an experimental electronica label
based in Koln germany. It features releases
from Microstoria, FX Randomix, L@N, Wabi
Sabi, Schlammpeitziger, Holsud and
Phthalocyanine. The styles on this label
range from experimental idm to wierd
spacerock to minimal ambient to minimal
techno all with it's own distinct flavor. If
you're looking for a more "traditional" idm
flavor then probably the FX Randomiz or
the Microstoria are the releases where you
should start.
The A-Musik label is part of the famous
Koln A-Musik record shop/distributer
and has close ties with the Mouse on
Mars/Soniq guys too.
You can visit the a-musik website for some
real audio samples as well as other related
infos.

The Karaoke Kalk label is also a Koln label.
It has five records and one cd out so far
by Kandis, Sauer and Senking. The styles
represented buy KK are rumbling deep
electronica, deep bc-ish techno, some
spacey d&b and some spacious ambience
too. My favorite release is the Senking
cd but the Visor cd on the KK sublabel
called Tom is essential too.
You can visit a KK website with soundbites

Keep in mind the the above two descriptions
are cursory and you should visit the websites
to further explore. But hopefully i gave you a
brief idea of what to expect.
