Radikal Records was launched in 1990 and quickly established itself as the top techno and dance label in America, documented by a host of awards. For the next five years, Radikal released singles at a frantic pace, yet managed to maintain its high level of success with hit after hit by artists such as 2 Unlimited, Apotheosis, Urban Cookie Collective, Rozalla, N-Trance, and Fatboy Slim's alter ego Pizzaman, to name but a small few.
Radikal also revived the long dormant dance compilation format, first with its Radikal Techno series (selling hundreds of thousands of CDs to true club music fans without the help of ANY radio support), and the hit driven Dance Mix USA series which racked up sales of well over 4 million units with it's first four volumes.
