“my record label all around the world hates me because I yelled back at them – called them out for being greedy assholes….Okay, well, you know what that means – STEAL IT. Steal away. Steal and steal and steal some more and give it to all your friends and keep on stealin’. Because one way or another these will get it through their head that they’re ripping people off and that’s not right.
Bet we didn’t make any friends by saying that”

Wat all the jive,BMG,Sony

Pretty board question…but "record labels" are companies inside the big distribution company. For example, Universal is the big company but they marketing and distribute such "records labels" as DefJam
,Rocafella,Interscope,Motown to name a few.
They are millions of "record labels" but only a few are distributes via the big company. Last thing there are only 4 big companies/distribution WEA,SonyBmg,Universal,EMI
Hope this helps!!

Hi Jonathan,
I’ve been a fan since the very beginning of your youtube-career.
Anyway: I need your help.
I’m startin up my own label with a friend of mine in the near future. We mainly focus on electrohouse oriented tracks and would like to release on Vinyl and digital.
Now here is where you can help us:
Because you got such a massive amount of people watching your stuff, you are able to reach many of those we are looking for:
Young people who have been producing electro / house tracks, and actually think they’re making proper stuff.(( Johnathan:- to be honest you can be 97yrs old and if you can make music that kicks then go for it!!)
We want young, smart bedroom-producers from all around the world who send in the very best they’ve ever done to us. We want to find good artists for our very first release.
“So if there is anyone out there who thinks he can put a proper track together and wants his( her) stuff to be released on a new upcoming german label, then this is your chance! We want you!”
So maybe you can do a video and make contact with young artists, and help an idea become true. Or you know another great way to do this, maybe in a competition or something.
Hopefully you like the idea

Parlophone’s fortunes began to rise in 1962, when Martin signed a rising new Liverpool pop band, The Beatles, who soon turned Parlophone into one of the world’s most famous and sought-after record labels

I want to have a career someday with music. I’m only 14 and don’t know much about how to become a music producer for a record label. I want to find out how I could work for large companies like WMG. Please let me know anything that can help.

I like that you look ahead, but you are too young to worry about this at this point. By the time you are ready to work, the music industry as we know it will change.

Plus you are in the wrong forum. Try to repos it in Entertainment – Music (This is about Electronics).

ACAPELA. Trio Bulgarka (also known as “Three Golden Coins”, previously known as “Bulgarka Folk Trio”) is a Bulgarian vocal ensemble…

They gained international prominence through their contributions to the groundbreaking 1975 world music album Le Mystere des voix Bulgares, originally released on the Swiss label Disques Cellier and later reissued on Britain’s 4AD Records and the German Jaro label.

The trio comprises Stoyanka Boneva from Pirin, Yanka Rupkina from Strandja and Eva Georgieva from Dobroudja. Their diversity of regional backgrounds enabled them to create a unique sound to their music. They signed to record labels Bulgaria Balkanton and Hannibal in 1987. Two years later they featured on The Sensual World album by Kate Bush on the songs “Deeper Understanding”, “Never Be Mine”, and “Rocket’s Tail”. In 1993 they appeared on another Kate Bush album, The Red Shoes, in the songs “You’re the One”, “The Song of Solomon”, and “Why Should I Love You?”, which also featured Prince. The trio have since concentrated on solo projects but often re-form for concert appearances

The three female vocalists in the Trio Bulgarka /Yanka Rupkina, Stoyanka Boneva, and Eva Georgieva/ have also performed and recorded with the Sofia Radio Choir, who can be heard on the famous series of Le Mystere des Voix Bulgares albums. The trio’s performances, understandably, place considerably greater weight on the harmonic and solo vocal skills of each member. Several respected Bulgarian musicians accompany them on some of the tracks on their album, The Forest is Crying, which was co-produced by Joe Boyd (more famous for producing rock acts such as Fairport Convention and R.E.M.). The Trio Bulgarka are also part of the group Balkana, have made well-received tours of the U.S. with the Radio Choir, and recorded a few tracks with rock singer Kate Bush.

I am trying to start getting into the studio, but I want to work with some music producers that will get me somewhere. My sound is like Jojo, Rihanna…that type of music.
And after I do that, I’d like to get in touch with a record label, A&R’s…anyone have any advice?

I would advise giving The Musicians Guide to World Domination a read, it covers all these topics and is very good.

In this first of two segments, the focus here is on the relationship between the labels and its artists. The following topics were discussed:

- the 4 big labels and the oligopoly of their dominance

- artists’ disputes with their labels such as Paul McCartney, George Michael, Madonna and Robbie Williams

- reinvestment in new talent

- Prince and his ‘Planet Earth’ album giveaway

- relying too much on commercialism and marketing

For example can a record label have techno djs, punk, alternative, hip hop?? can those types of music can be signed to 1 record label?

Usually, record labels stick to one genre, yet some vary.
Def Jam has Def Jam (for hip-hop) and Def Jam Island (for rock)
