Ceiba Records is managed by Peter Ziegelmeier- all visual, graphic and web work for Ceiba Records is created by Tina Zimmermann. Ceiba Records was the first independent psy-trance label in the U.S. and still is the only American label devoted to true techno-psychedelic art- and lifeforms.

Dirk Obudzinski is resident accountmanager and resident DJ. Ceiba has a number of freelance partners, djs and artists.

Before Ceiba there were only a few people in California even aware of psy-trance, a core group of travellers, loosly organized around the CCC collective, infected by the goa-vibe, started to organize underground trance parties in San Francisco.

Peter, as Kode IV, had been an early producer of electronic music in the U.S. for several years, evolving from the Industrial techno towards more psychedelic sound in the early 90's.

Peter, Goa Gil and Ariane were pioneers of trance music production in America, when they started to produced together in 1992.

At that time Peter was signed as Kode IV at a Belgian label, but wanted to regain his artistic freedom- thus in 1996 Peter, then with Adam Ohana and Jonas Judd) created the independent label Ceiba Records to open a platform for psychedelic trance in the U.S.
