History
The label's first release was the acclaimed compilation album Give 'Em Enough Dope Volume One,[2] which featured many acts such as Mekon, Kruder & Dorfmeister, and The Wiseguys before they became more notable. The compilation is also considered to be foundational to the Big Beat movement of the mid to late 90s.[3]
The label gained international recognition and residencies were set up in cities around the globe including a yearly summer residency at Ibiza's "Manumission" (an annual club party).[4]
Human League released their first album Credo for Wall of Sound in 2011. In September they released the album on vinyl.[5]
