AK Cartel Records Returns Stronger Than Ever, Expanding Its Global Reach

After a brief hiatus, AK Cartel Records is back, stronger than ever, and ready to make a lasting impact on the global electronic music scene. Originally launched in 2019 under G-Mafia Records, the label built a reputation in Bass House and Tech House. Now, in 2025, it is embracing a much broader range of styles, including Afro House, Electronica, Indie Dance, Melodic House, Minimal/Deep Tech, Nu Disco, Techno, and Trance.

Since its official relaunch on December 24, 2024, AK Cartel has already signed over 100 tracks and has a packed release schedule until May 2025. With artists from Italy, Germany, Spain, the U.S., China, and the Netherlands, the label is pushing a truly international vision, showcasing diverse sounds and fresh talent.

Beyond its impressive lineup of releases, AK Cartel is expanding beyond the digital realm. The label is set to host Label Parties in Brazil and other global hotspots, while also establishing itself as a booking and management agency. This move will provide rising artists with career support, giving them access to major opportunities in the electronic music industry.

The new era of AK Cartel is led by a team of experienced professionals. Ricardo Bernardi, the CEO and founder of Grupo Mafia Music, is steering the label’s vision, focused on innovation and artistic freedom. Nytron, an acclaimed audio engineer and hitmaker, brings over 150 Beatport Top 100 tracks to the table, carrying a rich musical heritage as the son of Pepeu Gomes and Baby do Brasil. Meanwhile, Rhyttmo, the label’s A&R, leverages 15 years of industry experience to scout and develop emerging artists.

With a strong global presence, a diverse sound palette, and a commitment to supporting new talent, AK Cartel Records is positioning itself as a powerhouse in the electronic music industry. The label’s dedication to high-quality releases and artist development is at the core of its mission.

As AK Cartel continues to evolve, it remains committed to pushing boundaries and fostering innovation. The coming months will see a wave of exciting releases, exclusive events, and new opportunities for both established and up-and-coming artists.
