In 2002, DCide entered into a partnership with Geffen Records to release the debut record from TRUSTcompany out of Montgomery, Alabama. TRUSTcompany's guitar driven music evokes memories of the Smashing Pumpkins' with Deftones-like vocal stylings and bottom heavy riffing reminiscent of Led Zeppelin. TRUSTcompany enjoyed both critical and commercial success as their debut album "The Lonely Position of Neutral" went on to be certified Gold. TRUSTcompany’s new record True Parallels will be released by DCide/Geffen in March of 2005.

In 2003, DCide released the debut record from Cherrywine. Cherrywine is the new project from Ishmael Butler, the creator, rapper and producer for the Grammy award winning rap group Digable Planets.

DCide is a privately held, DC based independent record label. The label was started in summer of 1995 by founding partners Jeffrey B. Clyburn, Burton Gray and Mark Thorp. Their first act Nothingface has gone on to sell over 500,000 records worldwide and is widely recognized as one of the standardbearers for the new metal genre.
