The following year the label released the single "Another Planet / Voyager" by Pendulum, which peaked at number one in the UK Dance Chart.

Since its foundation, Breakbeat Kaos has released 31 singles and four albums from more than thirteen artists, in addition to fourteen singles released through its sublabels, Under Construction and Dogs on Acid.
