Its main focus is strongly conditioned by the vision of its creator, Simon Šerc, who started the label in 1993 in an attempt to create a platform that strives to enhance radical difference in how we perceive, consume and distribute music and other art. Preferring quality over quantity it delivers rare but comprehensive records of experimental, drone, ambient, electronic and electro-acoustic music. |

Video and music for Pharmafabrik's "Fabriksampler V2", a compilation of tracks by acclaimed Slovenian and international musicians released by Pharmafabrik Recordings in 2008.
Inception
In 2014, the independent Pharmafabrik Recordings has been around for more than twenty years and yet it does not boast a very voluminous discography. This is far from being a coincidence or a mishap, it is an outcome of a deliberate effort to surmount the apathy and the banal experiences that get translated into undeserved cultural spectacles. This record label spawned in order to reflect reality and the time in which it is set, and at the same time give meaning and context to the human experience. According to an interview for Connexion Bizarre conducted in 2009, the name Pharmafabrik is a construct and it intends to convey the same mysterious ambiance as the famous Bayer Pharmaceuticals poster from 1899. The name was coined a logical choice for a label that enables a way out of reality and into the illusion.
Roster and releases
A convenient approach to getting acquainted with the label's releases are the so called 'Fabriksampler' compilations which feature many prominent Slovenian and internationally renowned musicians. For example, V2 presents (among others) tracks by Justin K. Broadrick of Godflesh and Jesu (as Final) and Mick Harris of Napalm Death (as Lull). Most of the label's releases and merchandise is available on Bandcamp and each one of their publications testifies to the record's uncompromising posture that is completely free of abiding to any market demands.
Other activities
Pharmafabrik attracts to free thinkers and people unconcerned with society's expectations of them. In 2013, this tendency resulted in an interesting between Simon Pharmafabrik (the label's boss who also adapted the label's name for this installment of his musical output) and Ontervjabbit, Slovene synth-noise duo that also performed in the 2013 edition of Club Marathon. One of the collaborations between Ontervjabbit in Pharmafabrik also resulted in Cadlag. Pharmafabrik Recordings is one of the vital links of Slovene noise and experimental music scenes and is known to often join forces with local and especially international supporters and performers of the above mentioned genres.
