Extreme Records

Extreme Records is an Australia-based record label.

The label was founded by Ulex Xane and initially specialised in underground experimental and industrial cassettes. Roger Richards became involved in 1987 and eventually became the label’s director after Xane's departure.

Extreme has released CDs and tapes by artists such as Non, Orchestra of Skin and Bone, Paul Schütze, Muslimgauze, Social Interiors, Makers of the Dead Travel Fast, Jim O'Rourke, Elliott Sharp, Shinjuku Thief, Christoph Heemann, Otomo Yoshihide, Kato Hideki, and Big John Duncan. Extreme is also noted for being one of the first record labels, along with the American label RRRecords, to bring the work of the Japanese noise artist Merzbow to Western audiences and, in 2000, released the Merzbox, a 50-CD retrospective.
