Delirium Records is an independent record label from the Inland Empire area of Southern California.
Delirium Records was founded in 1992 by Curt Sautter. Since the early 1980s Sautter had been working with punk and rock bands in the Los Angeles area of Southern California.
In 1986 Sautter founded Idol Maker Concepts (IMC) working with bands and artists to refine the artists sound and image. It became clear by 1992 that the music Sautter was producing needed an outlet.
Curt Sautter explained in an early interview that the primary reason for Delirium Records was to document the music that he felt was worth listening to. Sautter stated that some of his favorite records were released on small independent labels with small press runs. Delirium Records first three releases were released on 7-inch colors vinyl records. The first EP was the Globes "Hi-Fidelity Garage Pop" in 1994 followed by The Hoodlumz "Skin of the Soul in 1995 and Organized Crimes "Tales from the Crime" in 1996.
Since 1994 Delirium Records has had at least seventeen releases including four tribute CDs and the re-issue on the 1982 Los Angeles punk rock classic compilation, Life Is Ugly.
Delirium Records, along with Slog Records headed the founding of a multi independent records label organization called Independents Anonymous in 1996. Independents Anonymous pooled marketing resources and increased artists reach and visibility.
