The Biodro Records is one of the most well known Polish indie labels. Founded in 1998 in Gdansk by Tymon Tymanski (Polish alternative scene’s major figure) and his two partners, Andrzej Maroszek and Darek Dikti, it was designed to deal with all sorts of „off-style“ records, be it alt jazz, yass or avant-rock crossovers - any interesting albums from various artists, who can’t ascribe themselves to a definitive style. Their debut production was KURY’s „P.O.L.O.V.I.R.U.S.“, the record put out in March of 1998, which sold over 25 000 copies. „P.O.L.O.V.I.R.U.S.“, the avant-rock band’s biting satire on Polish pretentious and plagiarist pop music, turned out to be one of the most important albums of the decade. The second record produced by the Gdansk-based label was SCIANKA’s „Scianka The Spaceship“, another intriguing debut from a Sopot band, which (alonside with Lech Janerka, Voo Voo, Kazik, Homo Twist, Kury and Pogodno) was to become one of the Polish most influential alternative collectives.

Until June, 2001, Biodro managed to put out thirteen catalogue items. The most notorious among them were the debut albums of Pogodno and Scianka, the legendary Milosc jazz band’s last record with Lester Bowie (Milosc collaborated with the late, great American trumpet player, recording three records with Bowie out of their seven album output), Swietlicki and Trzaska duet’s album (Polish outstanding poet of the younger generation, backed up by Milosc’s former saxophonist), and last not least, supertrio KURY’s last album. The recession in the phonographic industry caused a long intermission in Biodro’s publishing activity.
