As the next step in the evolution of a legendary producer, on September 1st 2011,
Stefan Betke is founding a new artist label named “pole.”
Made for the music of pole, this imprint will keep Betkeʼs large back catalogue
available, as well as give his forthcoming releases an autonomous structure for
experimentation and creativity.
For over a decade, Stefan Betke has been working as a label owner, publisher and
mastering engineer, contributing his experience to the development of electronic
music.
The artist label “pole” is intended to create a place where pole´s original and unique
sound can be developed further, and combined with new production methods and
ideas.
Pole re-released his full back catalogue digitally, including classical records such as
“1,2,3,” “Steingarten” and “Steingarten remixes,” and in 2011/2012 a series of 12
inches called „waldgeschichten“ /vinyl and digitally), followed by pole´s
long awaited album "WALD" that concludes the „waldgeschichten“ series.
As Pole puts it: “My new music will sound very warm, has a lot of bass and stands in
a strong relation to my musical history.”
