Record Label Research

STMPED RCRDS

This record label was founded by DJ and producer Martin Garrix, the label has signed artists such as Area21 and Bebe Rexha .

The label focuses mainly on genres such as ambient house; downtempo; electro house; tech house; progressive house; future bass; trap; trip hop.

This highlights that the label is more on the electronic dance music side of things and artists such as Bebe Rexha who are looking to grow not just into the EDM music business but into the pop music business and not as a DJ like most of the artists signed onto the label but as a singer.

This label is also different because unlike most labels it is all about the artists and what they want to do, Garrix has collaborated with all of the artists on the label at least once and it goes to show that the label aims to help young up and coming artists to grow into the music business.

Capitol Records

Capitol Records is an American major record label, it operates as a division of the Capitol Music Group. It was founded as the first West Coast-based record label in the United States in 1942 by industry insiders Johnny Mercer, Buddy DeSylva and Glenn E. Wallichs. In 1955, the label was acquired by the British music conglomerate EMI as its North American subsidiary.[1] EMI was later acquired by Universal Music Group in 2012 and was merged with the company in 2013, making Capitol Records and the Capitol Music Group both a part of the Universal Music Group

The label has signed artists such as 5 Seconds of Summer, EDEN, Ella Eyre, Don Diablo, Bastille and Niall Horan. This goes to show that bigger record labels such as Capitol Records are more capable to have a broad range of music genres because they have the money to distribute and produce a larger range of music genres.

For the song We Won’t Leave You by Steve Void I think STMPD RCRDS would be a better record label overall because Void produces music that is more focused on the House and Electronic Dance Music genre.
