Long-running Berlin, German-based exploratory record label Exile On Mainstream announces a new US-based webshop through A Thousand Arms, which is now open to the public.

Exile On Mainstream was launched by Andreas Kohl in 1999, and has since released over 115 titles, including LPs from Payola, Scissorfight, Good Witch Of The South, Shepherd, The Hidden Hand, Ostinato, End Of Level Boss, Place Of Skulls, Beehoover, A Whisper In The noise, The Antikaroshi, Enablers, Conny Ochs, Wino, Black Shape Of Nexus, Darsombra, Obelyskkh, Stinking Lizaveta, Kristian Harting, Friedemann, Bulbul, Treedeon, Noisepicker, Bellrope, Dälek, Gore, Might, The Moth, Sons Of Alpha Centauri, Karla Kvlt, Caspar Brötzmann, and many more.

Kohl and the label have also booked countless tours for their artists including many notable mass-gathering live events, namely the annual South Of Mainstream Festival which ran for many years, and the EOM 25 Festivals and tours in 2024 when the label celebrated its 25th anniversary.

Now, the label expands with a new webshop that will allow customers from North America and beyond to explore their vast catalog of incredible releases without getting assaulted by import shipping prices from Europe. A Thousand Arms, who is the US web home for other indie labels such as Pelagic, Crazysane, Dunk!, Golden Antenna among many others, now welcomes Exile On Mainstream.

Andreas Kohl exclaims, “I am totally PUMPED to have found some partners in A Thousand Arms to bring Exile On Mainstream Records back to the US in true D.I.Y. style: Directly to our fans, bypassing distribution rules we can’t and don’t want to follow anymore with minimum orders, costs for warehousing and shipping which would prevent us from selling our records at an affordable price. Here we are, delivering the service we offer in Europe to our American (North and South) and Canadian fans. Give it a go. Buy directly at the farm!”

Browse the superb wares at Exile On Mainstream’s new A Thousand Arms webshop RIGHT HERE.

And of course, international customers can still shop at the trusted Exile On Mainstream website/shop HERE.

Exile On Mainstream has already released well-received new titles from Karla Kvlt and Noisepicker in 2025, with the anxiously anticipated new album from Caspar Brötzmann Massaker and more coming up this year. Stand by for additional label news and updates to post shortly.
