Wired Records is a record label based in Berlin and is run by Heidi Mortenson and Camille Saunders. It was founded by Heidi in 2005 when releasing "Wired Stuff" - the debut album of Heidi Mortenson, with money that she had received from a fund. The label originally started out as a series of events called Wired Nights which were held at various venues in Berlin between 2004 and 2005. The events took form as a music playground for spontanity and testing of new ideas and were described as fun, chaotic and theatrical.
