Ware Records was founded by in 1997 Mathias Schaffhäuser. The label's musical orientation is open, most important being originality, abstraction and contemporary relevance. Ware has released multiple records by Ziggy Kinder, Mud Max, Jin Choi, Novox, And.id, Jay Pauli, Maderfotor, Hans Nieswandt, Markus Güntner, Dominik Eulberg and Decomposed Subsonic. Remixes for Ware were produced by the Gebr. Teichmann , by Trentemøller, Dapayk, Swayzak, Jeremy P. Caulfield, Matthew Mercer, Audio Werner and many more. Ware's focus on time relevance means that all music released on the label should somehow refer to the present. Schaffhäuser is no fan of retro trends and epigonisms, neither as label owner, musician nor as DJ.
