Hed Kandi

Hed Kandi is a UK-based record label and a music brand which was established in 1999 by Mark Doyle, specialising in house music. Hed Kandi's catalogue includes both artist albums and various genres of club compilations.

The name is a modified spelling of "head candy", reminiscent of the expression eye candy.

In January 2006, Hed Kandi Records was acquired by the UK record company Ministry of Sound for an undisclosed sum. Since then, Mark Doyle and his team created a new record label, Fierce Angel. The leadership of Hed Kandi was taken over by Dan Baxter, who had previously worked for the label/brand when it was owned by UK media company, the Guardian Media Group.

In March 2007, Hed Kandi opened a Beach Bar in Egypt's Red Sea coastline resort of Hurghada city. This added to their portfolio by branching in to venues.

The Hed Kandi label has branched out extensively since its debut in 1999 and now includes a clothing and fragrance franchise. It has also partnered with Monarch Airlines to offer flights to Ibiza under the Fly Kandi brand, created by the Hed Kandi team.

One of the more distinctive features of Hed Kandi records is the distinctive cover artwork, much of which has been designed by the renowned illustrator Jason Brooks. However, some 2006 and 2007 Hed Kandi releases do not have Brooks' cover artwork, since Brooks also left Hed Kandi together with Mark Doyle after Ministry of Sound took over. Brooks eventually returned to Hed Kandi.
