mital-U is a record label from Switzerland. It started in 1996 by Bruno Waser. Some of the artists on the label are Crazy, Grauzone, The Vyllies, and mittageisen.[1][2][3][4]

In 1980, Bruno Waser produced the first Swiss punk LP (Crazy).[5] Then, he produced more records for the band Crazy and the dark-wave band mittageisen.[6][7]

In 1991, Bruno released a compilation CD for Crazy.[8] In 1994, he released an album for mittageisen called alles ist anders ... nichts hat sich geändert (everything is different ... nothing has changed).[9][10]

In 1995, Bruno saw that the Internet could be good for sharing independent music.[11] So, he started mital-U. In the following years the indie label produced records for bands like Grauzone, mittageisen, and The Vyllies.[12][13]

mital-U also released music videos like Eisbär by Grauzone (2011) and automaten by mittageisen (2015). They're also involved in video projects about alternative music and subcultures.[14]
