Music Line

Music Line was founded in the early 1980s in Germany, initially focusing on electronic and synth-pop music, which was gaining popularity during that era. The label played a significant role in promoting artists associated with the Neue Deutsche Welle movement, a genre that blended new wave and German lyrics. Notable artists included bands like Nena and Trio, whose hits helped define the sound of the time. In the late 1980s and 1990s, Music Line expanded its catalog to include a wider variety of genres, such as rock, pop, and dance music, signing artists like Die Fantastischen Vier and DJ Quicksilver. The label's commitment to innovative sounds and emerging talent solidified its reputation in the European music scene. Though its prominence waned in the 2000s, Music Line's legacy endures through its contributions to the evolution of German pop music and its influence on subsequent generations of artists.
