London-headquartered Involved Group has quietly built itself into one of the UK's most formidable independent music operations since its launch in 2000.

The 360-degree music company was originally founded by British trance trio Above & Beyond, who initially launched the venture to house their own imprint, Anjunabeats. Fast-forward nearly two and a half decades, and Involved Group has transformed into a multi-faceted independent powerhouse that now boasts a catalog stretching beyond 1,000 releases – plus a pair of GRAMMY nominations to boot.

The evolution from artist-led label to full-service music business exemplifies the kind of vertical integration that's become increasingly vital for independent operators looking to compete in today's hyper-consolidated industry landscape.
