    This is most likely my favorite label of all time. Here you can find Acid, Techno, Trance, Ambient Trance and even some Breakbeat.
    But don't make the mistake to think that the label has no real aim, no core, no red line.
    Its the ageless quality of the output if you aren't fixed into only listening to the tunes of the presence.

    On every trip as a backpacker the tracks of EXperimental had been on my playlist, but also in my daily life the magic of the EX tracks is my friend. It melts with the nature surrounding me and every place becomes a warm place while listening to the tracks. This music gives me power and this music gives a room when I need to escape. It let me pick up courage again, it calms me down. Because it outlasts the changing in music. For me it is a home.

        Yes you are right this is an absolutely underestimated label allthogh they feature a lot a well known artists such as Damon Wild, Ray Love, Joey Beltram (Code 6). The last release I have is CYAN - Peacekeeper which rounds up the picture of this label. The sound is unique always well balanced 303 sounds and hard bassdrums makes these records still audible after years. I am an absolute fan of this label (R I P) another label comparable to that is 'C & S' Records which made far too less releases in my opinion.

          Shame! No one post comments on this label? It was the one that brought me into Techno. From acid (main production) to breaks (excellent ex-15), from oldskool rave (early stuff) to trance (excellent ex-19 and 25), this released some of the best tunes of the early 90 techno scene. A massive and superb use of distorted acid sounds, bangin' drum machines and stellar atmospheres.
          The last releases: not the best way to end such a great label.
