Metropolis Records was founded in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1993 by Dave Heckman.[1] The label's all-electronic format closely tracked with European contemporaries such as Off Beat and, since 1995, has been instrumental in promoting and distributing underground electronic music in America.[2]
On June 9, 1999 Metropolis bought American industrial label Pendragon. It assumed distribution responsibilities for the back catalogues of Pendragon as well as of label 21st Circuitry that went out of business at the time.[3]
