History

[edit]

The label was formed by Angel who previously ran a fencing company. The label's first signing was with Gerardo Ortíz in 2010. Originally, DEL Records had a partnership with Anaheim, California based VIP Music.[4] The label is currently distributed Independently. [5]

In April 2015, DEL Records donated $12,200 to the Rowland Unified School District in Rowland Heights, California in order to help with their area student and teacher scholarships.[6]

In 2016, DEL Records received six Billboard Latin Music Awards including those for Regional Mexican Airplay Label of the Year, Regional Mexican Airplay Imprint of the Year and Regional Mexican Albums Imprint of the Year.

On April 14, 2016, the label entered into a partnership with Combate Americas, the first-ever U.S. Hispanic Mixed Martial Arts sports franchise. The premier event was April 18, 2016 for NBC Universo's fight series, Road to the Championship. Regulo Caro and King Lil G walked the MMA fighters to the cage and also performed later in the night.[7] Also in 2016, DEL Records partnered with local and national organizations to launch "Shut Up the Haters and Vote," which encouraged high school students of eligible age to register to vote.[8]

Two years after the death of their artist Ariel Camacho, DEL Records released on February 24, 2017, a tribute album of duets with other artists on the label such as Gerardo Ortiz, Luis Coronel and Regulo Caro. Ariel Camacho Para Siempre Duetos, Vol.1 includes a 15-minute DVD of unreleased footage of Camacho.[9] Los Plebes del Rancho de Ariel Camacho, the group formed after the singer's death from his band, received eight 2017 Billboard Latin Music Award nominations, and won three of them.[10]

DEL Records received five Billboard Latin Music Awards in 2017, among them Top Latin Albums Artist of the Year, Duo or Group and Regional Mexican Songs Artist of the Year Erick Hernandez.[3]

In 2024, Angel Del Villar and Javier “El Tamarindo” Gonzalez launched a music distribution company, DSTRO7, Inc. The distributor will be both DEL Records and Tamarindo Recordz exclusive distributor.
