Within the Music there are two types of record labels, major records and independent labels. There are four major labels and these are:

Whereas mainstream/major labels tend to be more about making money and tend to exist solely for that reason whereas smaller independent labels are more about actually making music and less about making money. Independent record labels include:
- Fierce Panda Records - Founded in 1994 in London, UK
- Snakes And Ladders records - Founded in 2005 in London, UK
- Andmoresound - Founded in 1998 in Glasgow, Scotland
The record Label that we feel would best be suited to BooSH is Sony BMG this is mainly because Calvin Harris, a similar act to BooSH is signed to them. We feel that musically BooSH could be very similar musically to Calvin Harris and we feel that Sony is the best place for him to go to. Choosing Sony means that we will have to market it carefully and similarly to how a real artist on the Sony record label would be marketed also the album must also have the sony logo on it.
