Aegean Records is an independent record label founded by George Michael and Andros Georgiou in January 1991.[1] The label was set up after Michael broke from Sony Music after his court case, which he eventually lost.[2] Andros Georgiou became the managing director of the label.[3]

The artists either signed or previously signed to Aegean Records include:

Georgiou and Michael founded Aegean Net Ltd on 15 November 1996,[6] which was the internet business of Aegean Records. Michael and Georgiou were directors of the business, although Georgiou resigned as a director on 25 January 2000, he then became managing director of mezzmusic.com.[7] In May 1997 Aegean became the first European record label to adopt the Liquid Audio secure electronic music-delivery system via www.aegean.net,[8] which was launched one year before BowieNet,[8] and 11 years before Spotify.[8]

Aegean.net was the first artist-owned website to allow fans to:

  • Chat with music artists (including Michael)
  • Purchase merchandise
  • Purchase and download music (via Liquid Audio)
  • Audio/video streaming (via RealVideo)
  • Join the first online-only fan club
  • Receive news and updates from Michael and other Aegean Records artists
