RecRec Music

RecRec Music was a Swiss independent record label created in 1983 by Daniel Waldner.

In 1979 Veit Stauffer and Daniel Waldner founded RecRec Zürich in Switzerland, after suggestions from Chris Cutler that they establish a record distribution company similar to the British independent record label Recommended Records that Cutler had created the previous year.

On 3 September 1995, Waldner and his son, Valentin died in an accident in the Swiss Alps.

RecRec Music continued to operate, but began making losses and was declared bankrupt in May 1997.

The label was split into two companies, RecRec-Shop, the record shop, and RecRec Medien AG, the distributor, with two new labels, Make-Up and Make-Up Your World.
