The label's staff included Mick Paterson (promotions), Pepe Jansz (A&R), and producer Seth Hodder, and it was originally set up to give UK releases to white label 12-inch singles and imports. In the United States, it was distributed by Tommy Boy Records while the Mute parent label was distributed by Elektra Records.
