Re-Constriction Records
San Diego, California

Re-Constriction Records was a division of

aggrotech and EBM genres.[1]

After the label folded, Chase went to work for Access Communications where he worked for 14 years doing video game-related public relations, including helping to launch Twitch in 2011. In May 2013, he took a staff job at Twitch overseeing all of their PR efforts.[2] In 2019, he left Twitch [3] and shortly thereafter joined StreamElements.[4]

History

Chase contacted Belgium-based industrial label KK Records, a division of Cargo Music, to arrange for product servicing for the station which led to him getting a job with Cargo. While doing promotional work for their KK label in North America, Chase convinced Cargo Music to allow him to start a new division called Re-Constriction Records.

The first band signed to the label was

16 Volt and The Clay People. All of which helped to define the "Re-Con" sound of heavy guitars over electronics with vocalists who did not overprocess their voices. Chase adhered to this blueprint throughout much of the label's existence. The label's debut release was the 1992 EP Nothing by Diatribe.[5]

The top selling release on his label was

Pulp Fiction soundtrack)[8] and Nod's Tacklebox o' Fun (assorted pop hits).[9]

Re-Constriction Records folded in 1999 after having released approximately 40 records.
