Anabatic was started as Katabatic in December of 2005 between Sean "Worthy" Williams and Justin Martin in San Francisco, and toasted with a fine glass of semi-cold beer to start the label off. The original name for the label was discovered by Worthy while reading the book "Deception Point" in December 2004. Originally it was thought that he would use the name for a future mix. However, when he started toying with the idea of starting a label he decided to use it for this purpose instead. For some legal reasons the label name has to be changed in september 2008 to Anabatic records.
