History
Founded by Max Ahmadi and Payman Abdali, X DOT 25 Music began by releasing music in physical formats such as cassette tapes and compact discs. During the 1990s, the label became a hub for the "San Francisco World Music Concert Series," producing high-profile performances at venues like the Palace of Fine Arts.[2]
The label served as an early platform for several groups that later signed with major international labels, including Axiom of Choice (later signed to Narada/Virgin) and Mythos (later signed to Universal/EMI).[2]
