About

CNTRL was founded in Hull in December 2024 with a clear mission: to revive the city’s nightlife and inject new life into its underground music scene through the relentless power of hard techno. Born from a love of heavy, driving beats and the raw, industrial energy that defines the genre, CNTRL is more than just a label — it’s a movement.

Hull has a deep musical history, but in recent years, it’s lacked a space for those who crave something darker, harder, and more uncompromising. CNTRL aims to fill that void. We’re here to create a platform for emerging and established hard techno artists, both local and international, and to build a community around the sound that brought us together in the first place.

Whether through releases, live events, or collaborations with other creatives pushing boundaries, CNTRL is committed to shaping a new future for Hull’s nightlife — one that’s loud, defiant, and unapologetically techno.
