Multinational label. Label Code: LC 0407 / LC 00407 Island Records (often using a logo that omits "Records") was named for Island In The Sun (a novel, film, and Harry Belafonte calypso hit), and was founded in Jamaica in 1959 by Chris Blackwell, [a570526] and [a282882]. In May 1962, Blackwell relocated the label to the UK in order to market music by Jamaican artists to immigrant communities in London and Birmingham.
Founded in 1999 with 5+ releases in their catalog, Island Records is a electronic music label.

Island Records expects clean mixdowns, an arrangement suited for DJ play (typically a strong intro and outro), and a sound that sits within their electronic music catalogue.
