Discomania was founded in 1985 by Christian Fehlau and Uwe Kohlwes and has since developed into one of the worlds leading distribution and wholesale companies for Dance and Electronic music.

Not only that Discomania is also the exclusive import distribution partner for many US, UK, Dutch, French, Spanish and Belgian Dance Labels, ( Saw Recordings, Armed.Yoshitoshi. Uno, Tsunami, Armada,) in particular concentrating on House and Techno Music as well as dealing with all kinds of superior Electronic & Dance music from around the world.
Discomania also has a very close business relationship with the Major labels(BMG SONY, EMI, Virgin, Universal & Warner)and is also a partner and highly appreciated customer for many other German distributors such as: Rough Trade, Kompakt, Intergroove, WAS, Music Mail and others.
In a slightly decreasing market, Discomanias strength is to concentrate on the knowledge of its workforce and their strong belief in music which means that Discomania is always at the peak of the international scene.Unlike many other Distributors, Discomania/ DMD did not sign too many new labels within the last years, instead they worked harder with the labels that have been loyal partners for a long time. The DMD Group of labels, founded by A&R Armin Johnert in 1994 was therefore able to keep the sales figures stable and one can proudly say that if you are into German Electronica & Dancemusic then Discomania/ DMD will be first on your list of suppliers.The new website www.discomania.com and the new website based info and sales program has helped Discomania establish a very customer friendly system.
Discomania is also established as the exclusive partner for many of its labels for strong online distribution. Discomania has deals with all the important worldwide download companies and an own Discomania Download Store will open soon on www.discomania.com
