Ultra Records is an American record label owned by Sony Music Entertainment, which is a subsidiary of Sony Music Group.

Company history

Established in 1995 in New York City by Patrick Moxey, a former executive of PolyGram and Virgin Records, Ultra Records is home to various electronic music artists such as Armin van Buuren, David Guetta, Calvin Harris, deadmau5, and Tiësto.

In 1999, Ultra Records commenced litigation with the upstart Ultra Music Festival. Ultra Records demanded that Ultra Music Festival limit its use of the name Ultra to Florida.[1] In 2012, after Ultra Records adopted a new logo and started using the name Ultra Music, the dispute resulted in a two-week jury trial in federal court in the Southern District of New York between Ultra Records and Ultra Music Festival (known formally as Ultra Enterprises, Inc.)[2] that was resolved by an out of court settlement.[3][4]

In 2013, Ultra entered a global partnership with Sony Music.[5] In December 2021, Sony Music fully acquired Ultra Records from Patrick Moxey.[6]

In January 2022, David Waxman, previously head of A&R and general manager, was appointed president of Ultra Records.[7]
