Electropop Record Labels

The song I chose for my music video falls under the electro-pop genre. I want my digipak to be as realistic as possible and to do so, the addition of a record label is necessary. I researched a couple existing record labels in my genre.

1. XL
XL Recordings is a British independent label that began as a dance music offshoot of Beggars Banquet Records in 1989. In recent years XL has earned acclaim as one of the world's best independent pop labels through artists such as: Adele, Radiohead, Vampire Weekend and Jack White. As this company is focused on independent pop music, I think it would be good for my music video. An example of a music video released by this company is:


2. Sub Pop
Sub Pop was introduced in the emergence of grunge in the early 1990's out of Seattle, Washington. They were the first label to sign successful artists such as Nirvana and Soundgarden. Sub Pop survived the demise of grunge and continues to be a force in the development of independent recorded music and I think it would be a good record company for my video. A music video done by Sub Pop is


3. Domino Records
Domino is a British independent label formed in 1993. Franz Ferdinand's You Could Have It So Much Better hit #1 on the UK album chart. Its key label artists include Arctic Monkeys, Dirty Projectors, Franz Ferdinand and Hot Chip.


For my digipak, I am going to use Domino Records for my record label. I think their music videos are most similar to mine and have also had the most success, which I would want for my artist.
