Berlin-based label BITE run by Phase Fatale has been turning heads ever since its inception five years ago. Now BITE has put out over 25 releases, platforming emerging talents and well-established artists alike, all united by an ambition to push the boundaries of techno. BITE's output touches upon a wide range of styles along the moodier fringes of electronic dance music: from sparse industrial techno to wave and synthpunk and to the label's pioneering italo body music. While BITE's roster remains musically diverse, the imprint has cultivated a community around itself of those attracted by its aesthetic of global malaise and pursuit of romantic sensibility within the cold mechanics of the techno genre. In 5 years of its existence, and with showcases at Berlin's Berghain, Tbilisi's KHIDI, New York's Basement, and various venues in Los Angeles, Tokyo, Seoul, and more places around the globe, BITE has gained global recognition. In honor of its fifth anniversary, the imprint is proud to present Shedding Skin - an 18 track compilation of BITE protagonists such as Pablo Bozzi, Phase Fatale, Unhuman, Reka, Silent Servant, and New Frames, as well as new and exciting artists like Nastya Vogan, Mind | Matter, Omon Breaker, Gael and more.
