Overview

Wired Records is an independent record label based in Berlin, Germany, founded by the Danish/Spanish artist Heidi Mortenson. The label grew out of a series of concert events called Wired Nights, which typically featured three to five bands per evening performing both together and separately, staged as a kind of extended theatrical performance that included freestyling and sometimes an interactive audience. Wired Nights were often described as fun, chaotic and whimsical theatrical pieces of entertainment value with surprising guest appearances. Wired Records was founded by Heidi Mortenson when she released her debut album Wired Stuff in 2005 using money she had received from a foundation. In 2006 the label released the compilation The Wired Ones, featuring 14 artists from the international electroclash music scene, including Kevin Blechdom, Scream Club, Dynasty Handbag and Angie Reed. The CD also contained two video clips. Another notable release is Diamonds & Underwear, a 12" hand-painted vinyl release by Heidi Mortenson. It contains three songs on the A-side, while the B-side features engravings on a unique hand-painted surface. It took three weeks to hand-paint the numbered vinyls. The label's catalogue includes releases by Miss le Bomb, Heidi Mortenson, Noisy Pig and the various-artists compilation The Wired Ones. Artists who have contributed artwork include Miss le Bomb, Mosh Mosh, Sardine Animal and Heidi Mortenson. Wired Records is a small, artist-driven imprint associated with the electroclash and experimental electronic music scene of the mid-2000s.
