Play Records is an independantly owned Canadian record label operating in Toronto, Canada. Founded by singer and former Care Bears voice actress Melleny Melody in 1996 and DJ Spydabrown , the label represents a diverse range of musical talent with releases from disco, electro house, drum and bass, to techno, jazz and disco house among others.

Other arms of the company include Play Deep Studios, a recording studio in the UK, Play Digital, for digital music and Play Records Publishing, a publishing commpany which provides licensing materials for commercial, film and television productions, including licensing deals for compilations.

Notable History

In 2005, the company signed on electronic music superstar deadmau5 when the company head Melleefresh discovered the artist where the two collaborated on a number of releases under the Play Records duo Freshmau5.

In 2008, two of the tracks in the company's catalog, "After Hours" by Melleefresh and deadmau5 and "All U Ever Want" by deadmau5 and Billy Newton-Davis were nominated for a Juno award under the category of Best Dance Recording of the Year, with the latter winning the award that year.. That same year, Play Records would part ways with deadmau5 and the company gained ownership of the catalog of tracks deadmau5 produced during his time with Play Records as part of the agreement.

In October 2015, Play Records is sued by deadmau5 in a multi-million dollar lawsuit over a breach of contract for the tracks he had previously transferred ownership to, claiming that Play Records released remixes of these tracks without his consent as the agreement didn't include a waiver of his moral rights. This infringement is a lesser known right in the Canadian legal system for Copyright law that grants authors the right to protect their moral rights and is one of the few instances in Canadian case law.
