Label founder Alex Tronic - (Paul Croan) had previously released and licensed music to many labels notably Koyote/Peyote Records and Cherry Red Records in 2000. He also scored music for film and TV.
Alex Tronic Records was created in 2005 and their debut release was ÅsA - On/Off which was released to widespread acclaim. Other signings followed including Keser, Roys Iron DNA and Pockets of Resistance.
Keser and ÅsA went on to tour in Scandinavia after their releases. Roys Iron DNA toured with the Lo-Fidelity Allstars and The Go! Team.
Alex Tronic Records' own Recording Studio in central Edinburgh was proving to be pivotal in discovering newly emerging talent as well as developing their current artists.
The label's first compilation album brought these talents together and was a successful venture. The Skinny magazine described the album as "a brilliant exhibition of talent... On the whole the album is extremely varied. The only thing which doesn’t change is the production quality and raw talent, which is consistent throughout."
