Intakt Records

Intakt Records An independent Jazz record label located in Zürich since 1986. Almost 400 recordings have been released to date.

«Small in budget, but immense in quality,» praises «All About Jazz New York» the CD-label Intakt Records. «The predominance and growth of independent labels continues. What would we do without the little guys?» – Intakt has made a special effort to document the development of many distinguished artists. The extraordinary critical acclaim has been surpassed only by the enthusiasm of the subscribers of the Intakt Records series.

"questo disco è pieno zeppo di scoperte che afferiscono non solo alla musica etnica, ma anche a poderose dosi di improvvisazione e ad iniezioni di sostanza musicale elettronica."
Mario Grella (Off Topic Magazine)

(Indeed, this record is absolutely packed with discoveries that draw not only on ethnic music, but also on powerful doses of improvisation and injections of electronic substance.)

"Der Bass als Schlagader inmitten von Myriaden Beats und Noises, mit Hoyes als Tochter, als Medium, als Nixe, als Mama, die in sich Leben mit Feuer und mit Candies nährt. Toll!"
(The bass as a lifeline amid myriads of beats and noises, with Hoyes as daughter, as medium, as water spirit, as mother — nourishing life within herself with fire and with candies. Magnificent!)
