History
History
Upper Class Records was founded in 2000. Its first album release was the debut LP by The Russian Futurists, 'The Method Of Modern Love'. The label later formalized as Upper Class Recordings. It has released four albums by The Russian Futurists, two albums each by The Cansecos and Cadence Weapon, and one album by both girlsareshort (a solo project by musician Al-P from MSTRKRFT) and Food For Animals. In 2006 Upper Class began a distribution partnership with EMI Music Canada. In 2010, Nettwerk One Music, the publishing arm of Vancouver's Nettwerk Music Group, announced that it was representing the publishing works of Upper Class Recordings worldwide. In 2016, Kobalt Music Publishing began representing Upper Class Recordings worldwide. The label has become synonymous with Canadian electronic music. Per Lost At Sea Magazine, the label "has struck gold [... it] seems to produce blissed-out electronic pop masterpieces like an assembly line" Upper Class Recordings, through licensing partnerships, has seen its releases picked up by Anti-/Epitaph Records, Ninja Tune/Big Dada Recordings, Memphis Industries, and Cooperative Music.
