Description
Editions Mego was started by Peter Rehberg in 2006, as a way to preserve the catalog of renowned Austrian experimental electronic music label Mego. Emerging from Vienna’s techno scene, Ramon Bauer and Peter Meininger took inspiration from the explorative sound palette, and looked to start a more experimental label. Teaming up with Andi Pieper, they founded Mego, and released a plethora of landmark albums, including Kevin Drumm’s *Sheer Hellish Miasma*, Fennesz’ *Endless Summer*, Jim O’Rourke’s *I’m Happy and I’m Singing and A 1, 2, 3, 4*, and many other creatively courageous artists including Yasunao Tone, Stephen O’Malley, Mark Fell, Merzbow, and Rob Mazurek. One of these artists, Pita AKA Peter Rehberg also joined in the running of the label, and when Mego folded in 2005, Rehberg stepped up to keep the Mego ethos alive and started Editions Mego, as a means to maintain the original catalog as well as releasing new works of the avant-garde.
