Azoikum is a well-known Power electronics act, founded in 1997 by German noise musician Stefan Widmann. Early releases consisted of very limited cassettes. However, they have been reissued on a 5xCD-R box "A Collection Of Corpses Vol. 1". Azoikum project has done split releases with such artists, as Government Alpha, Lefthandeddecision and Baal.

On the 23rd of May, 2007 Stefan Widmann decided to found another label which will be called Menschenhass Entertainment, serving as a platform to release new Azoikum material in the future.
