The company was founded by DJ Jean-Paul De Coster in 1988 and is named after his former record store in Antwerp.
One of the first Byte releases was "Don't Miss The Party Line" by Jean-Paul De Coster and Peter Neefs as Bizz Nizz.
The single was licensed by Cooltempo, a sub-label of Chrysalis (now EMI) and became a top 10 hit in the UK by the end of the 1980s.
Most of the artists became popular in Belgium, The Netherlands and Germany like Timeshift, CB Milton, Red 5, Sash!
But due to the bad economic climate in the music industry, Byte had to reduce his activities over the years.
