AATHEE RECORDS is a Chicago - born and bred house and techno record label founded in 2016 by Joseph Ruggiero and Nikhil Gidwani (Happyghost and Hopscotch). Aside from publishing

their own music under Aathee through Paradise Distribution, they perform live as well as DJ.

With the addition of classically trained percussionist Joshua Hooten, they have evolved into a performance trio with a unique and dynamic style.

Joseph and Nikhil officially connected in the early part of 2016 when they were both

invited to perform at the BPM festival in Mexico. It was not long after they met that they began kicking around the idea of starting a new label. With over 40 years of experience combined

behind the decks and production, Aathee Records has made a strong footprint

in its short lifetime and continues to grow.
