Some friends of mine were looking for a label to release their newly recorded material. They were a hardcoreband from my hometown area, named nbp. Our collaboration resulted in their first cd ...And The Plot Thickens. The record did pretty well and with the money I gained from it I was able to release a second record shortly after. And another, etc.

All my records are released on the basic principal that every cent earned with selling them will be put back into the label. I want to guarantee the bands a maximum amount of support and growth by doing so. My goal is to spread the music as far and widely around the globe as possible.

HecticRecs has roots in the underground diy-hardcorescene, although that does not mean that I do not look any further. On the contrary, I do not limit myself by any musical style. The attitude and approach of the musicians are more important than the actual music itself. I do aim on releasing records from bands/artists which show a strong sense of passion and innovation, musicians who do not fear to swim against the current and honestly care about writing good music and meaningful lyrics.

Thanks to everybody who ever supported me in any way, past, present, and future! I could never have done this without your help. Special thanks go out to the bands, the people who bought my stuff and also the labels and distro’s that I work with. Your kind interest really means a lot to me!
