Cheiron was a Swedish label run by [a=Dag Volle], [a=Max Martin] and [a=Tom Talomaa], located in Stockholm, Sweden. It traces its roots back to the deejay collective SweMix, which was split up in 1991. The DJ service, [l8217], was sold to Giovanni Sconfienza and the rest of the company was soon after split up again. The production company, [l539223], remained independent, while the record label and publisher, known as [l=SweMix Records] and Publishing, was sold to [l=BMG] in early 1993 and reformed to become Cheiron Productions under the leadership of Volle and Talomaa.
Dag Volle was diagnosed with stomach cancer in late 1997 and passed away less than a year later. Despite huge international success, Cheiron closed its doors in 2000, mostly due to the passing of Dag Volle. Former Cheiron members [a62244], [a64296] and [a252433] later launched a new company called [l311714], located in the same building. [l626070] and [l272849] were also founded by former Cheiron members, both located elsewhere in Stockholm.
