The premiere release was a split cassette featuring spoken word performances from Michael Gira of Swans and Lydia Lunch. The label's name is borrowed from a line in Tom Wolfe's 1968 novel The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test.
Artists currently on Ecstatic Peace! include Hush Arbors, be your own PET, Awesome Color, Black Helicopter, Free Kitten, Tam, Notekillers, Magik Markers, Poor School, Tall firs, Pagoda, Monotract, Mouthus and Violent Soho.
