Overview
Ophelia Records is an American independent electronic dance music record label founded by producer and DJ Seven Lions in 2018. The label was created initially as a platform for Seven Lions to release his own music, but it expanded rapidly into a broader artist and repertoire operation focused on several styles within contemporary bass-oriented dance music. Its catalog is associated with melodic bass, dubstep, psytrance, drum and bass, and related electronic genres. The label was publicly announced on February 14, 2018. Its first release arrived two days later, when Seven Lions issued “Calling You Home,” featuring vocalist Runn. The early catalog quickly established a collaborative approach. Seven Lions followed the debut with the two-track Ocean EP, made with Jason Ross and released on March 30, 2018. On May 18, 2018, the label released “Horizon,” a collaboration involving Seven Lions, Tritonal, and Kill The Noise. These early releases positioned Ophelia around melodic, festival-oriented electronic music while also connecting it to artists working across heavier bass and dance subgenres. As the label’s schedule grew, Ophelia moved beyond being a personal outlet for its founder. In a 2019 interview connected with the label’s Electric Zoo takeover, Seven Lions described the original concept as a place to release his own work, while noting that the expanding schedule made the label increasingly important for music from other artists. The roster and associated releases came to include artists such as Au5, Blanke, Feed Me, Feint, Jason Ross, k?d, Kill The Noise, MitiS, Trivecta, Wooli, and Seven Lions himself. The available reference material does not establish a complete current roster or a formal corporate ownership structure beyond Seven Lions’s founding role. Ophelia has also developed a visible live-events identity. It has presented label takeovers and branded appearances at United States festivals including Electric Zoo, Imagine Music Festival, Escapade Music Festival, Nocturnal Wonderland, and North Coast Music Festival. In 2021, the label launched its first named tour, Pantheon, featuring Seven Lions with support from Blanke, Gem & Tauri, Jason Ross, Kill The Noise, Last Heroes, Trivecta, Wooli, and Xavi. These events function as both concert programming and label showcases, allowing Ophelia’s artists and sound to be presented as a connected ecosystem. The label was recognized by Dancing Astronaut as its 2021 label of the year, an indication of its profile within the electronic dance music press and community. In 2022, Seven Lions released his debut studio album, Beyond The Veil, through Ophelia Records. The album further connected the founder’s major artistic work with the label’s identity. Ophelia’s positioning is therefore based on artist-led curation, emotionally expansive electronic production, genre crossover, and festival-scale presentation rather than on a narrow single-subgenre catalog. Specific revenue, employee, distribution, headquarters, and corporate-registration details are not established by the supplied sources.
History
Ophelia Records was established in the United States in 2018 by electronic music producer and DJ Seven Lions. The label was announced on February 14 of that year and was conceived initially as a dedicated outlet for Seven Lions’s own recordings. Its first release followed on February 16: “Calling You Home,” a Seven Lions track featuring Runn. The label’s initial activity emphasized collaboration and a broad interpretation of bass-oriented electronic music. On March 30, 2018, Seven Lions and Jason Ross released the two-track Ocean EP through Ophelia. The label then issued “Horizon” on May 18, a collaboration between Seven Lions, Tritonal, and Kill The Noise. These releases helped establish an identity that combined melodic songwriting and atmospheric production with festival-scale bass music. Ophelia expanded beyond its founder’s solo catalog as its release schedule became busier. In an interview associated with the label’s takeover of Electric Zoo in 2019, Seven Lions explained that the original plan had been to create a place for his own music, but that the label had developed quickly enough to require a wider release program. Artists associated with the label include Au5, Blanke, Feed Me, Feint, Jason Ross, k?d, Kill The Noise, MitiS, Seven Lions, Trivecta, and Wooli. The supplied reference material does not specify the contractual status of every artist or identify a separate corporate parent. Live presentation became an important part of the label’s development. Ophelia hosted takeovers and showcase events at festivals including Electric Zoo, Imagine Music Festival, Escapade Music Festival, Nocturnal Wonderland, and North Coast Music Festival. In 2021, it mounted its first tour, Pantheon. The tour featured Seven Lions and support from Blanke, Gem & Tauri, Jason Ross, Kill The Noise, Last Heroes, Trivecta, Wooli, and Xavi, presenting the label as a connected live community rather than only a catalog imprint. Dancing Astronaut selected Ophelia as its 2021 label of the year. The recognition reflected the label’s growing visibility in electronic dance music media and its ability to combine artist releases, touring, and festival programming. In 2022, Seven Lions released his debut album, Beyond The Veil, on Ophelia Records, giving the label one of its most significant founder-led album projects. Ophelia’s documented history is therefore defined by rapid growth from a personal imprint into a multi-artist electronic music label. Its core areas include melodic bass, dubstep, psytrance, drum and bass, and related forms of dance music. Publicly available information supplied for this dossier does not establish precise headquarters, distribution arrangements, financial performance, employee numbers, or a detailed current management structure.
