The legendary Swiss music label Hat Hut Records, renowned for its groundbreaking releases in contemporary and improvised music, is entering a new era after half a century.

Musician Marco von Orelli and communications specialist Melanie Imhof have taken the helm and aim to carry forward the remarkable legacy of founder Werner X. Uehlinger, infusing it with fresh ideas and renewed energy. They are joined in this endeavor by Swiss saxophone pioneer Co Streiff, long-time companion of the label Christian C. Dalucas, and Werner X. Uehlinger himself, who will continue to support the label in an advisory role.

“I was immediately captivated by the innovative spirit of the catalogue, combined with WXU’s outstanding contributions to the avant-garde scene since 1975. I was also deeply impressed by the clear, almost austere visual language of the cover art. Each release is a collector’s item,” explains Marco von Orelli. And he adds: “Hat Hut stands for independent music and visionary artists – and that’s how it should stay.”

“The music market is changing rapidly, and the way music is consumed today presents an exciting challenge,” von Orelli continues.

The story of one of the most influential independent labels continues – with respect for the past and a clear vision for the future.
