    Downtown Records is an American record label based in New York City with offices in Los Angeles. Owned and operated by Josh Deutsch and Terence Lam, the label is distributed by Geffen Records (formerly Interscope Records and The Orchard) in the US and in the UK distributed by Polydor Records.

    The roster includes artists such as Nick Murphy, Brett Dennen, Electric Guest, Tei Shi, Goldroom and Tommy Genesis.

    History[edit]

    The label was co-founded by Josh Deutsch and Terence Lam in 2006 and grew to become Downtown Music with publishing, licensing, music services and Songtrust. In 2013 Downtown Records was purchased outright by its original co-founders[1] and now operates fully independent. The label's music was distributed by Sony Music's RED Distribution and Cooperative Music.[2] It is now distributed by Interscope Records/Universal Music Group (now Geffen Records).[3]

    In addition to the sister label, Mercer Street Records, Downtown has label partnerships with Dim Mak Records, Fool's Gold Records and Mad Decent.[4]

    Downtown Records also operates Downtown Events[5] – a festival and concert promotion company that produces The Downtown Music Festival.[6][7]
