From the booklet of Eternally Alive Vol. IV:
Formed in 1993 during the high excitement of Techno, the label delivered slamming club classics and banging anthems. The first release, "Head-Doctor", was produced by none other than Londoner Ray Shulman of Sugar Cubes fame. Innovative international top acts like Oliver Lieb aka. Genetix and the fabulous East London based Electronic freak Jon Ryman swiftly followed.

Then came Friends, Lovers & Family, aka. Planetoid and original underground classics like D.A.V.E. The Drummer's "Dr. Octopus" along with banging House artists The Messiah aka. Atomic.

In 1996, Millenium Records established such pioneering compilation series as the cult sampler "A Nite At Strawberry Sundae" (one of the best Clubs London ever has produced... for those who were there... you know), the UK Space Techno series as well as the ever selling Chill-Out sampler "Techno Ballads". The spiralling influence of Drum & Bass is reflected in the brilliant "Atmospheric Drum & Bass" series, mixed by Aphrodite & DJ Wild Child, which is still one of the best selling titles.

Throughout the years, Millenium Records has s served up a rare dish of new talent that has been carefully selected and ingeniously mastered. Max Reich from Sweden delivered three full length albums, launching himself into the forefront of Northern Electro Acid artists. The Starseeds, a mind-blowing mixture of dreamy Trip-Hop meets Enya, was critically acclaimed by the British press and rated as "the hottest import since Massive Attack" by the US Billboard magazine. Their two Albums "Parallel Life" and "There Is Enough For Everyone" have now reached cult status and The Starseeds are the most sought after artist from the Millennium catalogue.

Another exciting signing followed in 1999 with the Guildford based Band Surge whom Kris Needs rated as the most original and inspiring act he had heard in years.

One of the most exciting collaborations of Millenium Records' time was born when ex-Associates front man Billy McKenzie released his comeback "Loom", featuring Billy McKenzie's "Anacostia Bay". His incredible vocal performance (which has influenced artists such as Bono of U2) over Loom's electronic soundscapes was one of the highlights of 1999 and accentuated the label's versatile love of a wide range of music.

Having reached the year 2003, Millennium Records is now being represented in eighteen European countries as well as the USA and Japan.
