Birthed in 2021 by the Berlin-based duo Local Suicide, Iptamenos Discos serves as both a creative outlet and a love letter to space exploration. Initially established to release their own critically acclaimed debut album ‘Eros Anikate’, the label quickly expanded its mission to champion a diverse range of electronic music and put out EP’s and singles by Dina Summer, Wiener Planquadrat, Boys’ Shorts, Curses, Kalipo, Skelesys, Psycho Weazel, T.Raumhouse, Alexandra Feusi & Yotam Russo with remixes by Adana Twins, Echonomist, Whitesquare, Andre VII, Biesmans, T.Raumschmiere, Black Light Smoke, Marvin & Guy, Daniele Baldelli, You Man & many more.
It’s sound is characterized by a love for the past, drawing inspiration from 80s and 00s styles, while keeping a firm foot planted in the present with fresh takes on Synth Wave, Dark Disco, Electroclash, Indie Dance, EBM, Italo Disco, and more. Translated from Greek, Iptamenos Discos means ‚flying saucer‘ or ‚flying disc‘ — a testament to the record label’s commitment to cosmic rhythms and sci-fi-inspired synth lines.
The label was awarded with label of the month features by Beatport (06/2023) and Juno Download (04/2022) while regularly topping the top 10 Indie Dance / Electronica / Leftfield / Coldwave & Synth charts and reknown Berlin radio station FluxFM hosted a one week label take-over showcasing the labels highlights.
In 2022 the duo established their regular concert & club night Iptamenos Diskotek which they hosted in cities such as Berlin, Paris, Thessaloniki, Munich & Vienna. In 2023 the married couple added their own publishing company Iptamenos Notes to help artists claim royalties for live appearances, DSP’s, airplay & collecting societies and get chances on additional income via TV/movie syncs, advertisements and other productions as well.
