Info
Abbreviation for Acid Fuckers Unite
Founded by Thomas P. Heckmann in September 1994 and based in Mainz, A.F.U. was a sublabel of Trope Recordings. Specializing in acid techno with house elements, the label acted as a vehicle for Heckmann's successful "Silent Breed" project, but also released records by Ian Pooley as "Ides" and Patrik Sjeren as "P.S.". The first fourteen singles were half pressed on black and coloured vinyl, but later on black vinyl only. A few digital releases were credited to AFU Music.
A.F.U.was distributed by Neuton. The label was discontinued along with its parent label Trope Recordings in 1998.
In March 2005 Thomas P. Heckmann re-launched the label as AFU Limited.
