Los Angeles-based independent record label founded in 1992 by entrepreneur and music fan, [a511570].
Brian acquired his love for the music business by becoming an active participant in the Los Angeles club scene through the 1980/90's. The label was officially launched with three releases, [a11286] (a space rock band from the SF bay area), followed by the release of [a233658]'s "On Parole". The third release, was actually a series of reissues by electronic pioneers [a4654].
They specialize in all genres, including A Capella, Acid, Adult, Aggro Rock, Ambient, Big Band, Blues, Breakbeat, Breaks, Chill, Drum & Bass, Electronica, Experimental, Gothic, Hardcore, Indie, Industrial, Krautrock, New Wave, Oi!, Punk, Reggae, Synthpop and Techno.

Active since 1984, KMFDM are pioneers in the crossover between Techno/Dance/EBM electronics and heavy metal guitar samples. Born in Germany but then relocated to the USA, KMFDM released their first demo tape in 1984 and the first album "What Do You Know Deutschland?" in 1986. Heads of the band were Sascha Konietzko and En Esch. In 2000, the band changed their name to MDFMK and tried a contract with a major company. In 2002 they returned as KMFDM without En Esch.

This term can only be loosely translated into English as "No Majority For Pity" but then loses much of its irony. Thus the grammatically correct phrase "Kein Mitleid Für die Mehrheit" ("No Pity For The Majority") has emerged and is now in common use, even officially. The band now just deals
