Psychotropic is an artist owned and operated label launched by Kim
Koschka and Jim Goetsch for the purpose of publishing a series of their
widely varied projects in new electronic music. by being in total control of
musical production, graphic arts, and all business matters, the artists
can now produce work that is completely true to their vision rather than
altered by accountants, lawyers, and demographers. contrary to current
trends, Psychotropic intends to succeed by raising musical standards
rather than lowering them. future projects will also include compilations
of work by like-minded musicians from all over the world.All comments (1)
