British DJ and recording artist Edele Andaya has launched her new independent label, Andaya Records, with ‘Dreams’ as its first release. The track brings together Edele Andaya, The Neckbreakaz and Agent Jack for a high-energy electronic production aimed firmly at the dance floor. Through the label, Edele Andaya also gains a permanent home for her music and greater control over each release.

Andaya Records Gives Edele Andaya Greater Creative Control

Edele Andaya established Andaya Records as a permanent home for her original music. The label gives her greater creative control over the music, artwork, visual identity and wider direction surrounding each release. While her music sits at the centre initially, the longer-term ambition is for Andaya Records to develop an identity of its own. That could eventually include working with other artists who complement its musical direction.

For its visual identity, Andaya Records uses a stripped-back approach centred on a distinctive metallic ‘A’. Black, white and silver complete the aesthetic.

From Peach To A New Chapter

For Edele Andaya, the launch represents a progression from a career deeply rooted in UK dance music towards a new identity as a contemporary recording and touring artist. She established herself within the trance scene during a five-year residency at Peach, one of the defining brands of UK club culture. Since then, her music has drawn from trance, techno, hard trance and harder-edged electronic music.

Her DJ sets combine vinyl and digital, connecting the music that shaped her career with the contemporary records influencing her today. Her current focus now goes beyond her history within classic trance, with new music becoming an increasingly important part of her work. Through that music, Edele Andaya also wants to connect her experience with a new generation of clubbers.

Andaya Records Expands With Global Distribution

A new worldwide distribution relationship between Andaya Records and Universal Music Group also forms a key part of this next chapter. The partnership provides global distribution, additional infrastructure and marketing support. Edele Andaya can still retain the independent identity and creative control of her own label. ‘Dreams’ is the first release under the new arrangement and begins an ongoing release strategy.

Alongside the distribution agreement, Edele Andaya has recently joined Universal Artists Agency for worldwide representation through Chris Brown. The move brings a new team around the project as she develops its next stage.

Following recent appearances at Luminosity, Godskitchen, Rong, SHINE Ibiza, Peach, Frantic and One More Time Ibiza, Edele Andaya now brings several parts of her career together. Original music, an independent label, worldwide representation and her own event series all form part of that next chapter. ‘Dreams’ is the first release, with Andaya Records marking its beginning.
