STMPD RCRDS (pronounced "Stamped Records") is a record label founded on March 4, 2016 by DJ, record producer and musician Martin Garrix.[2][3][4][5]

History

Martin Garrix first announced that he was creating his own record label on a Dutch TV show and in his YouTube miniseries, The Martin Garrix Show.[6] This news came quickly after Garrix left Spinnin' Records and MusicAllStars Management on August 27, 2015.[7][8] The separation was cited by Garrix as a disagreement between himself and Spinnin' about the ownership rights of his music.[9][10][11]

The name of the label refers to stamps, and was inspired by his father's stamp auctioning company.[12][13]

Garrix released the label's first song, "Now That I've Found You", featuring vocals from John Martin and Michel Zitron, which original instrumental was dubbed "Don't Crack Under Pressure",[14] on March 11, 2016.[3][15][16] The melody of the song was originally created by Garrix during Dancefair in April 2015, and was notably later played during his closing set of Sziget Festival.[17]

To celebrate the launch of the new label, Garrix hosted a party at STORY Nightclub on Friday, March 18, 2016, after he closed the mainstage of Ultra Music Festival Miami.[18]
