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‘‘, KOTAI‘s „Susi’s 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 which is still existing). 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 BROKESCH‘s experimental ambient milestone „Sharing The Sunhat“ (db60) and Disko B‘s image between dancefloor-straightness and experimental electronica deepened during the mid-ninetees.

Disko B’s international artist roster with artists like I-F, JAY DENHAM, BLAKE BAXTER, THE RANCHO RELAXO ALLSTARS, UNIT MOEBIUS 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. The last albums of HELL, I-F, JAY DENHAM, DAKAR&GRINSER and the upcoming smasher from ARTIST UNKNOWN as well as the founding or integration of new subdivisions like the experimental SEPERATOR SERIES and Abe Duque’s TENSION RECORDS and the close cooperation with the independent CHICKS ON SPEED RECORDS (Upstart holds ¼ of this company) keeps the Disko B sound alive and kicking. And the future looks bright.
