Label come from Ukraine, exist for 3-4 years and to the date released 500 tapes. It is only my opinion, or DIR heave only worthless shit in catalogue, and 33 or 100 copies of each is way too much?

Some releases are not that bad (but probably most of them for sure).
Nevertheless I tried to order from him...

All his prices on the webshop are in Euro - if you order you have to pay him in GBP, but he meant the whole item-price - so actually a 4 Euro-tape costs 4 GBP (!) + you have to add 5,5% (!) additional PayPal-fees.

After all the conversions you have to pay ~25% more for each release as it is stated in the webshop.

Better avoid this money-eating scum.

A good amount of useless crappy band would have remained unreleased without this label Crying or Very sad

This label is run by Sergey of the Ukrainian Moloch so that should explain enough. Apparently he only makes an attempt to distribute his actual releases within the Ukraine/Russia so that is just great for any band that is released by him.

Any bands affiliated with that label with any possible hint of potential and a desire to actually think about applying effort to whatever they make usually make one release there then just migrate to another label.

Any time I've checked out a sample of a band on this label they've been terrible.

Not surprised he's scum, given that he's booting these...

I've actually ordered quite a bit from this label, but only one band in particular, which is Saturn Form Essence (project of Sergey from Moloch).

Yeah, I asked him about the Euro/ GBP thing before, and he said that he couldn't change it on the site for whatever reason. It is extremely annoying though. So a tape that costs 5 euro (a good price) turns out to be like $15 minimum if you're ordering from the US like I am... it really makes me avoid buying an experiment band or something else that might actually be good. The shirts are damn expensive too.

But... I'm after the SFE releases, so I have no choice sometimes. In other regards though, everything I've ordered has arrived quite fast for something coming from Ukraine, and in good shape too. He is reliable, but a bit pricy.

You're right though, 99% of the stuff released on that label is total shit.

Useless dickbag. I am currently doing session vocals for a band that has released a tape through this label, and this arse expected me to buy something without question without actually hearing the release, just because I was interested, and was quite rude in defence of every question I asked about the release in question.

All of the patches are bootlegs.
