History - From Ennui into a Dark World: the beginnings of an indie label
The phrase “Dark World” was first used in reference to a 1992 underground video series released by J.A.Bohr. While recording with the band Milwaukee’s Black Orchid, J.A.B. had the opportunity to work on the North American public access television series “Ennui Entertainment Presents…” (airing 1994-1996). J.A.B. used Dark World as a production company name and Dark World International history officially began. Ennui Entertainment as a potential record label folded in 1994, and the rights to the Black Orchid master tapes reverted to J.A.B. and Dark World. In 1995 Dark World restructured as an indie label, acquired the rights to the music of Infinisynth, and became a BMI music publisher. Realizing he needed help, J.A.B. turned to long time friend Kris (Kristi) Ameringer. Kris was brought in as President to help facilitate the restructuring of Dark World and soon became involved behind the boards as a producer as well.
