History

Circus Records was founded in 2009 to release "really good dancefloor music that was also appealing to more casual listeners" and to usher the "second wave of dubstep".^[10][11]

In 2022, Circus Records announced a new sublabel called "Circus Electric" as a place for their more experimental, eclectic, "bold, [and] boundary-pushing" releases.^[12]
