Label GB

Geometrik

Geometrik is a Spanish record label specializing in Electronic, Experimental, and Industrial music. Founded by an influential figure in the industry in 1986, it has been based in Madrid ever since. Originally known as Discos Esplendor Geométrico, the label underwent a rebranding in 1991 and became Geometrik.

With a rich history spanning over three decades, Geometrik has established itself as a leading force within the electronic music scene. The label's diverse roster of artists includes some of the most innovative and boundary-pushing musicians in the genre.

Geometrik's commitment to pushing boundaries is evident not only through its artist selection but also through its dedication to releasing music that challenges traditional notions of sound. With a focus on experimental and industrial sounds, Geometrik offers listeners a unique sonic experience that pushes the limits of what can be achieved with electronic music.

Esplendor Geometrico, the influential industrial pioneers of the pulsating, hypnotic and mechanical rhythms, present the extended version of their album Compuesto De Hierro to celebrate the 20th anniversary of its release. Recorded in Beijing in 2002 and out of print for over 15 years, Compuesto de Hierro was originally released only on CD and now for the first time on double vinyl including on side D four new and unreleased tracks recorded in 2022, inspired by the music on the album. Now remastered for vinyl, the sleeve design is based on the original cover.

Compuesto De Hierro is the most perfect example of the industrial-tribal sound of Esplendor Geométrico, developed over more than two decades, reminding us at times of their most "ethnic" album "Mekano-Turbo". The hypnotic and elaborate rhythms are masterfully combined with treated vocals, electronic analogue sounds, and sonorities from the Far East, especially from China.

Compuesto De Hierro represents a unique viewpoint in the fusion of traditional or ethnic music with classical industrial music.
