Music label research

The genre that i have chosen to do for my A2 music video task is the genre of house music and I have chosen three different music label institutions to research. The three music label institutions i have chosen to research are "Spinnin' Records", "Ministry of Music " and "3 Beat"

The company was founded in 1999 in the Netherlands by Eelko Van Kooten and Roger Da Graaf. This institution produces House, Electronic, Electro House, Big Room House and Deep House. They have supported a total of 74 artists, some who are very successful and polar such as Avicii and Sigma.
