**Electrinator Audio Productions** is an American record label. Founded on October 5, 2017 by Jay Butterfield, it was created to serve the purpose of releasing his own music through his own brand. Butterfield is the founder, president, and CEO of the label, and is the sole shotcaller in the company.

## Label History (2017-present)

### Early Stages (2017-2018)

Electrinator Audio Productions was founded by American record producer Jay Butterfield on October 5, 2017 after his disassociation with his former musical group Night Aviators. Butterfield wanted to pursue a solo career (under the name Electrinator) and created the label after shedding the "independent" label.

He began establishing his label in late 2017 and agreed to a distribution deal with RouteNote. He released his first two EPs in November 2017 under the label, Skybot and .Z. Square. He also associated with other artists such as North Light, MVP Audio, and Kendrick Cobos, however never released any official projects with any of these artists. He disassociated himself from North Light and MVP Audio in early 2018 after they betrayed him and disrespected his label, and after Electrinator released the single Alpine Blizzard in January 2018, he announced a hiatus from production.

After his hiatus, Butterfield began establishing the record label and expanding it past only himself. After signing three new artists in February 2018, he was described by various media outlets as an "upcoming figure in the business of record labels, and one of the most powerful label executives in the market." The three artists he signed were Noah Leavitt, DJ Trees, and Jynx. All three artists have had their contracts expire, and Butterfield has not stated any desire to bring them back to the roster. After delaying his album Universe multiple months, he announced it would be released sometime in 2019. The early period of EAP has been described as slightly underwhelming, due to the amount of projects scheduled to release that were postponed or canceled, and the lack of artist participation in the label outside of Butterfield.

### Modern Era (2019-present)

In February 2019, Butterfield announced that his debut studio album was finished and would be released in August 2019. He released it on August 18, and the album was a great success for Electrinator. He then also released his second studio album on January 27, 2020, CA-Bar 75. It was a massive success and contained the smash single Who Asked, which is to this day his most successful song.

In March 2020, Electrinator Audio Productions announced that they had signed various new artists, including Jackson McClellan and Annon Fullam (from their membership from Babushka Boyz), R3X Fadeaway, and E-Boss. Butterfield also announced that he was joining the collectives Air Vegas and Babushka Boyz along with his labelmates.

In June 2020, Electrinator Audio Productions announced that they had signed up and coming guitarist and producer Rising Phoenix to a record deal.

On June 30, 2022, Jay Butterfield announced that Rex Butterfield (better known as R3X Fadeaway had joined the label's management as Executive Vice President. The label also announced a new summer release lineup, with upcoming releases including The Expedition by Electrinator and upcoming EPs from Air Vegas and R3X Fadeaway. EAP also announced that Erik Ebert (better known as Rising Phoenix) would also be joining the label's front office as the Director of Operations in Arizona, effectively making him the third-in-command officer in the corporation.
