Founded in 1991 as an outlet for the more electronic creations of Chad Bishop. In 1994 the song 'First Stab' was released on the Sin-a-matic compilation CD.
In 1996 alien8 and Dirty Dave became permanent members of the collaboration. Releasing the 4-song EP "Transient" in 1997.

After the 1997 release of the 'Transient EP', Universal Magnetic took a hiatus in order for Chad and alien8 to focus their attentions on the Idiot Stare
release of 'The Hate Cage' and continue work on subsequent Idiot Stare releases.
During this time, alien8 continued to write music for Universal Magnetic which has yet to be released.

In 2001, alien8 moved from the Los Angeles area to Tokyo, Japan. In the meantime Chad Bishop continues to focus on Idiot Stare.
For nearly 5 years Universal Magnetic has lay seemingly dormant. This is about to change.

In 2003, alien8 takes the reigns of Universal Magnetic and produces a remix of Idiot Stare's new 'Ghost' single.
This marks the new beginning of Universal Magnetic.
