Studio !K7 is an independent record label based in Berlin, Germany that focuses mostly on electronic music. The name is an abbreviation of the company's original Berlin address, Kaiserdamm 7 (they have since relocated to Heidestr. 52). !K7 has since opened branch offices in New York City, Hamburg, London, and Tokyo. Studio !K7 was originally founded in 1985 to publish a series of techno video mixes called X-Mix. In 1995, the successful DJ-Kicks series of mix CDs was introduced, and in 1996 the sublabel !K7 Records was started to release regular artist records.
!K7 also has a Hip Hop sublabel / imprint, Rapster Records.
