In April 1999 they decided to put a record label together to expand the musical ethic of the club. Their first release was "David Elkabas - Things We Used to Do". To date their releases have been few, but the label has always stuck to its motto... Underground house at its best!
	Peppermint Jam Records   Founded in 1993 by long time friends and music lovers. Wolfgang Sick, Mousse T. and Errol Rennalls made it not only a driving ambition to control their own musical destinies, furthermore in a time when strategies and marketing formulas dictate much of the music business, they thrived with a burning ambition to maintain a high quality in all avenues of their now prominent label-activities.

Set up by its bigger sister company "Ministry of Sound Records", it seems to want to be the credible face of the Ministry. It started life in the year 2000 with a track licensed from Basement Boys Records. The track itself (Russell - Fool for love) was doing well in the clubs under a limited release and showed good UK release potential. After its UK release on Rulin it did well on sales and went on to establish the credibility Rulin wanted and needed from UK DJ's and clubbers. Hit releases so far include "Jakatta - American Dream" and "Sheena - I'll Be Waiting".
	Azuli Records This label has been going as long as we can remember. It was set up by the owners of Black Market Records in London. Its vynal discography is huge and holds many dance floor classics. Without this label, many British DJ's record boxes would be half empty. Its first release came in the form of "Chocolate Fudge (Mount Rushmore) - In A Fantasy. They then followed it up with two more C.F. records. After this, the road seemed clear for the massive reputation they have built over the years.
	Subliminal Records   The mastermind behind this new successful label is is U.S. DJ producer Eric 'More' Morrilo. He dreamed of putting his own label together in the mid nineties,he then went about paying for it by manufacturing the group "Reel 2 Reel". After a string of hits Morrillo then got the cash he needed to turn his dream into a reality. In 1998 he released a string of club hits from the label using up and coming artistes. There seemed to be no end to the amount of talent that was oozing from Subliminal's studio.

	Suburban Records   Suburban goes back to the early nineties (93,94) and is fronted by DJ, producer "Tommy Musto". In our eyes he has been a underrated champion of the house scene for many years. He has always stayed true to himself and produced the finest quality house. Back in the early nineties he teamed up with fellow DJ, producer "Victor Siminelli" and formed the production remix team "T.M.V.S". They went on to produce and remix a large number of underground hits under a string of front names such as "Color Blind" and "Federal Hill". As the label grew it began to bring in new producers to help further its style of deep, meaningful accessible vocal house. The mid nineties saw the talents of "Jazz 'n' Groove" bring the label to new levels. Releases on the label are few and far these days, but always of a excellent quality.
	Yellorange Records Formed in 1998, parallels the different styles of dance music presented throughout the Tony Humphries tenure on New York Radio, 15 years of performing at soulful dance clubs worldwide, and the current IMS net shows on its website. Music ranges from soulful divas like Chance, Meli'sa Morgan, and Sabrina Johnston to the Afro Cuban flavor of Miguel Plasencia and the Italian sounds of Soweto Funk. These different styles exemplify the versatility of Yellorange.
