Stmpd Rcrds (stylised in all caps; pronounced "stamped records") is a Dutch electronic dance music record label owned by record producer Martin Garrix, who founded the label on 4 March 2016. [1] [2] [3]
Martin Garrix announced the creation of Stmpd through a Dutch TV show and his YouTube miniseries, The Martin Garrix Show, [4] following his departure from Spinnin' Records and MusicAllStars Management in 2015. [5] He stated this was the result of music rights disagreements with Spinnin'. [6] [7]
The name of the label refers to stamps, and was inspired by his father's stamp auctioning company. [8] [9]
Garrix released the first song on the label, "Now That I've Found You", featuring vocals from John Martin and Michel Zitron on 11 March 2016. [10] [11] The original instrumental was dubbed "Don't Crack Under Pressure" by fans. [12] 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. [13]
To celebrate the launch of the new label, Garrix hosted a party at Story Nightclub with "Chris Maillé" on 18 March 2016, after he closed the mainstage of Ultra Music Festival Miami. [14]
