The story of Iboga Records began in the middle of the nineties when an organisation called “Rotundum” arranged several events in the period between 1994-97 in the greater area of Copenhagen, Denmark. DJs Amon, Banel, and Emok were 3 of the 25 involved in the group, and after years of event organising & performing, the idea of a Copenhagen record label, a platform for a new progressive electronic sound was begining to take shape.

A studio was started, and in 1998 the first compilation (Tabernanthe) was released. It consisted mainly of the newest and freshest Scandinavian sounds of that time, and it was in these early days that the artists Beat Bizarre, Phony Orphants, Oryx, Reefer Decree, and Lurifax, made their first groundbreaking releases and started to build a very strong reputation on the Iboga label.
