ScreaM Records (Korean: 스크림 레코즈) is an EDM label established by South Korean record label SM Entertainment.
History
In 2016, SM Entertainment executive producer Lee Soo-man introduced the EDM label ScreaM Records in the presentation show SMTOWN: New Culture Technology, 2016, held at the SM Town Coex Artium.[1][2] According to Lee, the label aims to expand from "view and listen performance" to "enjoy performance together".[3] The label was also designed to "promote music" through collaborations with global EDM DJs, producers, and various artists at South Korea and abroad.[4]
The idea behind the creation of the label was made by Lee Seo-kyung, a former SM A&R overseas employee. Previously, Lee worked on Shinee's "View" (2015) and f(x)'s "4 Walls" (2015), which incorporated songs of the deep house genre into K-pop for the first time. Lee Soo-man gave his opinion and he accepted it. There was a speculation that SM The Performance might have brought Zedd's song with it. According to an interview between music critic Lee Dae-hwa and Lee Seo-kyung, it was planned as a label that covers the entire electronic music, but it was said that the word "EDM" was used to express it in empathetic terms.[5]
In April 2024, ScreaM Records expansion as Dance Music Label and revealed their new logo.[6]
In May 2024, ScreaM Records launch sub-brand, Scream Academy, an educational program that provides practical tips and know-how from talented domestic and international electronic music producers to anyone interested in electronic music.[7]This sub-brand was launch following the label signed MOU with Seoul Institute of the Arts in May 2023.[8]
