I hope some other labels pick up the most talented artists from Merck. Machine Drum is signed to Sublight already |

machine drum is my hero. m3rck was really dope, i feel bad for not supporting them while i could. especially since they're based out of Miami. |

Thanks pietro! There is nothing really new in this interview.. |

aesthetics... we're just glad to have published the first public statement from the label.. it might not answer all the questions people have, but it should give people an indication as to what's going on.... |

1000's of people are disappointed..? I mean, I liked a few things on Merck myself, but I would say "thousands of people" seems pretty exaggerated. |

actually, when you consider the limitations of almost every release at or around 1000 to 2000 each it's hard not to say that there are a few 1000 people who have snapped up merck releases over the years..... |

Why, because you only like a few? |

no. I mentioned that because I don't think it was a bad label. the market is effectively quite tiny for this kind of music, so sure, there will be a group that will really mourn Merck's downfall, but I would be very surprised if it even comes close to a thousand. |

that's something completely different, though. |

I just don't know to be honest, but it is easy to calculate that they have sold more than 70000 releases (incl 12'') over the years.. so there are more than 1000 buyers for sure. Dunno if they all are disappointed. Assuming, as Gabe Koch didn't dispute the question it might be very close to 1000 though. ;) |

I like the begining Pietro Da Sacco :: ... why the closure to the label? Gabe Koch :: Well, there are literally dozens of reasons.... some business and some personal, in the interest of not leaving any bad blood, as well as not discussing my personal issues, I don't really want too get to specific.... Reading between the lines, I think he's talking about finding Pietro so annoying that he's decided to give up releasing music just to get away from him ever having anything even vaguely to do with him. |

Pietro Da Sacco :: Merck Records. Going strong for so long, producing top-notch electronics and everything tucked in between --why the closure to the label? Will Narita close also? Gabe Koch :: Well, there are literally dozens of reasons for the closure of Merck, some business and some personal, in the interest of not leaving any bad blood, as well as not discussing my personal issues, I don't really want too get to specific. Basically though, it's this new gargantuan net label; BIYC. They're too good and we can't compete. They said they were out to finish off labels like Merck, in fact Merck was one of the ones, along with Mego, who were specifically named. Looks like they got their wish. There's no way we could keep charging for our shoddy releases when they were making much better stuff available for free. |
