Spring 2025:
While the world goes crazy in highspeed, I downsize my studio- equipment and move (it) to a new place. / A compilation (Simulacron in co-op with Bodyvolt) is pending for a long time, but for various reasons a release date is not calculable yet. Updates asap!

Summer 2024:
I deactivated some of my "social media" due to a flood of spammers and hackers who crash accounts. I tried twice to re-activate the Fbook page, but the attacks started again right away. That's why I use this page for now.

Summer 2023:
Out: re-release of "Gedankenexperiment" EP by Apnea Records (Spain).
BODYVOLT: due to the crazy price uplift for international shipping it became almost impossible to sell vinyl outside of Germany. Bodyvolt is self-distributed, so it was always dependent on numerous international buyers. The new shipment rates make it highly unlikely that there will be enough orders from Europe and overseas in the future; people won't pay 14-20 Euros postage for a record that costs 10 Euros and I don't blame them! I don't quit the label (yet) though.... at least 1 more release is planned, but it will take time to get it ready.

July 2022:
Beta Evers tote bag with a drawing designed by Nik Kramer in 2001: SOLD OUT!!! betaevers.bandcamp.com/merch/beta-evers-tote-bag
-------------------------
July 2021:
Unfinished collaborative music projects (R.A.F., Dark Body Paramenter) are "on ice" for the time being (and might remain unfinished). Blame it on me, restless times and being distracted by various non-music things.
-------------------------
February 2020:
I get many requests to make guest vocals, but I cannot find the time. Same goes for other kinds of collabs. Need to concentrate on own projects. I am sorry!
--------------------- END OF NEWS SECTION ---------------------
About copyright: When I give a track to a label for a compilation, or when I give some tracks to a label for an EP, or when I do vocals or sounds for someone, it means this person/label and me have an agreement for a concrete, agreed release and ONLY for this release/pressing. It’s never unlimited, like: "now you can do with my work whatever you want". No! I want the responsible person to ask me if I am ok with a repress, a remix or anything else where my musical material gets used again. I am not ok with it, when there are unauthorized remixes, represses, secondary licenses/marketing or anything else that has not been discussed with me before. It is so easy to talk to me and ask for my YES or NO. Also, as long as I ask questions, it does not mean I am basically ok with it. Only when all questions are clearified and I give a full YES/OK then there is a deal. As a label owner I would never even think about using other people's stuff for something else, other labels and releases without an OK of the concerned artist.

Bio: "Brigitte Enzler grew up with New Wave and experimental Electronics from the late 1970s and early 1980s. In her teenage years she founded a girl-combo and started her first own record label to independently release and distribute the music of her combo. 2 releases were made. After the combo's split-up (1989), there was a phase of reorientation. In the 1990s Brigitte started to arrange parties (electronic music) for small clubs in her area (Augsburg, South-Germany). In the year 2000, she founded the collective Kommando 6. In 2001 she decided, to run a label again and Kommando 6 became also a record label. Finally, in the same year, she started to create tracks under the pseudonym BETA EVERS, what she does strictly on her own, without the participation of producers. In 2006 she closed Kommando 6 after 20 releases and started soon 2 new labels with sporadical output, Bodyvolt and Venus Noir. Besides her solo-works, Beta was involved in various collaborative projects since 2002: Black Spider Clan, Radikale Analog Fraktion, Flying Bodies, Zwischenwelt, Gedankenexperiment, Black Pond, Dark Body Parameter, Someplace Dark. Once in a while she did guest vocals. Over the last few years she was involved in 2 time-consuming non-music projects. Once in a while she spends time in her home-studio, trying out new things and sounds without the urge to release something these days". (copied from Simulacron Network, last updated 2024)
