M.A.C.E. Music, Inc. is an American record label founded by Michael Angelo Batio in April 1993. Currently based in Gurnee[1], the label's main job is selling material and merchandise of Batio's, including his albums, DVDs and the MAB String Dampener. The label does also release material by other artists, including Batio's old band Nitro, his one-album project C4 and other unrelated musicians such as T.D. Clark, Tom Kopyto and Jimmy Ryan of the Flyin' Ryan Brothers, who are also contracted to M.A.C.E.. The label distributes material either directly or through other distributors, and does so to over 40 countries worldwide, including the United States, the United Kingdom, all throughout Europe, Canada, Japan, Qatar, South Africa, Australia, Mexico and Brazil[2].

M.A.C.E. also have their own recording studio in Gurnee called Monster Mix Studio[3], and this has been the location of the recording of some of the later Batio material, most notably Lucid Intervals and Moments of Clarity Part 2[4] and 2 X Again[5]. Earlier albums like No Boundaries and Planet Gemini were recorded at an old studio owned by the label, known simply as M.A.C.E. Studios.

M.A.C.E. allocates each artist on the label a number group, and all of their releases are given an issue number within this group. For example, Michael Fath CDs are all numbered as 3xx, from 301 to 310, and Lyden Moon CDs are numbered 202 to 204.
