The recording company eventually added the Slip 'n' Slide, Pandemonium Records, Hardleaders, Stoned Asia[3] and Slip 'n' Slide Blue labels, "and also had a publishing arm in the form of Haripa Music Publishing in 1990."[1][3] Meat Machine and Echobelly were signed to Kickin Records' subsidiary label, Pandemonium Records. Haripa Music was sold to independent music publisher Superb Songs, in 2016; administered by Supreme Songs Limited. Other recording artists included Wishdokta and Zero Zero.
