The Atlantic Records Group has announced the rebirth of Elektra Records, the iconic label which was absorbed into Atlantic in 2004.
In its new incarnation, Elektra will be helmed by industry vets Mike Caren and John Janick, who will serve as the label’s co-presidents.
Elektra has already announced its first three signings: Grammy Award-winning artist Cee-Lo, of Goodie Mob and Gnarls Barkley fame; popular French electronic duo Justice, and British dance group Little Boots.
According to Caren, who most recently served as Atlantic’s Executive Vice President of A&R, the signings indicate a dedication to continue Elektra’s legacy of diversity.
