Extreme Records

Extreme Records

Extreme Records is an Australian based record label.

The label was founded by Ulex Xane, and initially specialised in underground experimental and industrial cassettes. Roger Richards became involved in 1987, and eventually became the director following Xane's departure.

Extreme has released CDs and tapes by artists such as Non, Orchestra Of Skin And Bone, Paul Schutze, Muslimgauze, Social Interiors, Makers Of The Dead Travel Fast, Jim O'Rourke, Shinjuku Thief, Christoph Heemann, Otomo Yoshihide, Kato Hideki, and John Duncan. Extreme is also noted for being one of the first record labels, along with the American label RRRecords, to bring the work of the Japanese noise artist Merzbow to Western audiences, and in 2000 released the "Merzbox", a Merzbow retrospective consisting of 50 CDs.
