Initially, the label was founded in 1991 by Christian Petke (a.k.a. Count Zero of Deathline Int'l.) in Frankfurt, Germany. A few months later, Kim X, his girlfriend, opened a branch office in Oakland.[1]
The first label full-length release was the California Cyber Crash Compilation.[1] Most of the involved artists, such as Diatribe, Battery, Kode IV, Consolidated, Biohazard PCB (a.k.a. Contagion), Deathline Intl. and Switchblade Symphony, became very popular in the 1990s Electro-industrial scene.
Other leading label groups were Index, Pulse Legion, Unit:187, Pain Emission and The Razor Skyline.[2][3]
The label has released a number of compilations, among the more notable of which were the female-focused, "Diva X Machina" compilations series.[4]
In 2020, Petke brought on producer John Fryer as a partner in forming a production company and providing A&R for the label.[5]
