Syg Nok

About

[b]Syg Nok[/b] (2006–2016), also known as "Syg Nok Records" and SYGNOK, was a Danish experimental electronic music label, based in Copenhagen and established by Hari Shankar Kishore/DJ Hvad. Primarily focused on breakcore/mashcore, gabber, drill'n'bass, and similar extreme ultrahigh-BPM genres, Syg Nok produced around ten vinyl albums and EPs, most of them cut at Hvad's Kommunal Dubplate Service studio; some pressings featured extensive decorative etchings, locked grooves, picture discs, and other unconventional variations. The label's logo, visual identity, and many artworks were created by Halfdan "VJ Cancer" Pisket. The majority of releases were mastered by Goodiepal. Besides various DJ Hvad's productions, including early work as kid kishore and collaborative releases by Albertslund Terror Korps, his duo with Halfdan/Cancer, the label featured several notable underground artists, such as Peckerhead, Teppop, Lisbent, Otpei, and Kishore's hip-hop protege Kidd.
