WTII Records is an independent record label set up in 2001 by former WaxTrax! General Manager, Bart Pfanenstiel,[1][2][3] to relive the spirit of WaxTrax!'s early music.[4][5] WTII’s releases span a wide variety of musical styles, but the primary focus is electronic based pop, synthpop, electro, industrial, indie rock, trip-hop and ambient noise. The label has released material from artists such as Stromkern, Beborn Beton, The Gothsicles, Dessau, Attrition, In Strict Confidence, Monstrum Sepsis and HMB.

WTII’s artist’s have completed several US tours as both a headliner and support, performed at numerous festivals and played hundreds of one offs across the globe. Their music can be heard in the background of MTV's Made, MTV's My Super Sweet 16, MTV's Trailer Fabulous, A&E's Biography, SpikeTV’s Death Guild, Vh1’s Driven and in numerous shows on the Discovery Channel and TBS.

Monstrum Sepsis has had tracks in these motion picture DVDs: Spider-Man 2, The Matrix: Reloaded and The Matrix: Revolutions while also in the video games: Project Gotham Racing, Punisher, Red Faction and The Matrix Online along with other WTII artists.

The label has one sublabel Bit Riot Records[5] and is distributed by Nail Distribution in the US and Canada.

In 2006, to celebrate the label's 5th Anniversary WTII released a promotional compilation entitled "The 5 Year Hits" also known as the "WTII 5th Anniversary Compilation." The album was compiled by Chicago DJ Jeff Moyer and Pfanenstiel, mixed by Moyer, engineered by Chicago DJ Pulz-8, mastered by Chris Randall of Sister Machine Gun and featured tracks by nearly the entire 2006 roster.
