Elektra Records

Elektra Records (now Elektra Entertainment Group Inc.) is an American major record label owned by Warner Music Group (WMG). It was founded in 1950 by Jac Holzman, and played an important role in the development of contemporary folk music and rock music between the 1950s and 1970s. In 2004, it was consolidated into WMG's Atlantic Records Group. After five years of dormancy, the label was revived as an imprint of Atlantic in 2009, and is now run by Jeff Castelaz.
