Varla Records

From This Might Be A Wiki

Varla Records was a very short lived label founded by a woman with the pseudonym Dyxploitation, who was named Techno Dyke's dyke of the month in June 2001 with her partner Dany. It was founded with the intention of showcasing many of the bands that were coming out of the artistically vibrant East Village of the mid-1980s. It only released two recordings, one of which was Disco Lover / Plastic Rap in 1987 and features John Flansburgh. Supposedly Frieda was dropped by Varla after it was discovered that she was a toy doll and not a person, but with Dany and Dyxploitation's connection to the visual and performance art scene of the East Village this seems unlikely. While the label's founders went on to become active in this scene up to the present day, Varla Records ceased to be shortly after the release of its only two records.
