As BRETFORD we want to offer expertise in different areas (Label, Booking, Publishing) and strive for synergies within them. We want to make artists‘ voices heard and represent them faithfully and conscientiously. In doing so, we want to publish music that we really love.
Founded in 2022 by Henrietta Bauer, who has accompanied Berlin-garagesters Chuckamuck as manager for some years before releasing their album “beatles” on Bretford, the company pursues an open-minded diy approach and often works independently of given structures while aiming to contribute to the independent and diverse music scene.
Bretford releases music the way we want to hear it ourselves, regardless of trends and expectations. We share what we like, no matter the genre.
Producer Lorenz Szukal is inevitably responsible for the sound of Bretford Records while doing his magic recording outside of Berlin at O’tool Studio. Next to Die Verlierer’s eponymous album, which has been heralded locally and overseas, and their second record “Notausgang” and newest album "Ideale", he played a pioneering role in the recordings of the Jeff Clarke solo album “Locust” and “Horny Tears from Hell” by Waxlegs and most recently "Sexverbot" by Sexverbot, out on Bretford Records.
