| Major Records is a music label from Hamburg, Germany, focussing on electronic pop music. Currently, their most popular artists include Ladytron, IAMX, X-Perience and Boytronic.
The label was founded in March 2004. While the music business was struggling with a crisis, producer Hayo Lewerentz (e. g. Boytronic, U96) wanted to give talented electro pop acts a chance by making their music available, and therefore founded Major Records.
In July 2004, Major Records released the double album Maxi by Boytronic, a best-of including new tracks and remixes. Concurrently, they released the album Words Once Said by Celluloide from France.
In 2005, the company signed further bands and projects and thus broadened their profile. The group Ultrafox, formed by two members of the Sneaker Pimps and two German vocalists, released their album Ice Skating on Major Records, the Irish duo Eden their CD Desolate Shores, and Leeloo Kobayashi (former Propaganda member Andreas Thein) his album Playthings.
