The munich-based electronic music label Disko B was founded in 1991 by Peter Wacha aka Upstart as dance-department of his independent label Sub Up Records (releasing among others the german cult pop/punkbands FSK, Die Goldenen Zitronen, Merricks) which was already in existence since 1985. The original name of the label was disko bombs, targeted towards a bombardement of the disco mainstream with progressiv electronic music sounds. The first release of the New York based SILICON SOUL (db 1) entered the german dance charts at the first go.



After one Ragga and one Rave 12, KOTAIs Susis Daydream (db 4) was the first pure techno-release on Disko B in 1991. The same year Upstart, Dorothea Zenker, David Süss and Cpt. Reality started the legendary Ultraworld parties (which lead to the worldwide respected ULTRASCHALL club and meanwhile merged into the club ROTE SONNE www.rote-sonne.com). With releases of producers like DJ HELL, RICHARD BARTZ aka ACID SCOUT, ROBERT GÖRL or DJ GOOD GROOVE Disko B established itself as one of the most profiled techno/electronic music labels worldwide. The Vienna-Munich-connection with Cheap Records lead to the release of the scandalous Porno by PATRICK PULSINGER (db35) and SUSANNE BROKESCHs experimental ambient milestone Sharing The Sunhat (db60) and Disko Bs image between dancefloor-straightness and experimental electronica deepened during the mid-ninetees.



Disko Bs international artist roster with artists like I-F, JAY DENHAM, BLAKE BAXTER, THE RANCHO RELAXO ALLSTARS, UNIT MOEBIUS, HELL, ARTIST UNKNOWN or ABE DUQUE aka KIRLIAN spread the sound of the Disko B family around the world.



Disko B has been able to continue an output of high quality electronic music over the years. In 2005 Disko B signed the Band STEREO TOTAL from Berlin and thereby clearly (re-)opened the labelsound in direction of punk and alternative. Relases by CONSOLE, GEBRUEDER TEICHMANN, ACID PAULI, JAY DENHAM or GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU and new albums by ELECTRONICAT or CREME DE MENTHE followed. The latest Disko B signing is SCHLACHTHOFBRONX.
