ECN Records

ECN Records Inc. (Chinese: ECN唱片; short for Edwards-Colindres-Na) was a Tsengian record label best known for recording songs by Belgian Flu and DJ Zhongguo, influential and famous artists in the Tsengian rock and hip-hop genres, respectively.

History
ECN was founded on April 22, 1974, in Pushan by John Edwards, Alan Colindres, and Noah Na, who wanted a rival with Zenghe Inc, who at that time was dominating the record label industry. ECN failed to achieve any success, and because of it, Edwards left 3 years later. In 1978, ECN signed Belgian Flu, which brought them into the mainstream.

In 1985, Belgian Flu disbanded. At the time, the band counted for 99.2% of ECN's revenue, and so there was real fear of ECN going out of business. Fortunately, they were saved by Olivia Han, an already famous pop singer who signed to the label in January 1986, and so the label got enough money to keep afloat.

In 1989, one of ECN's scouts discovered DJ Zhongguo, a rapper in the streets of Taihua. DJ Zhongguo had big talent and was signed to the label in 1990, where he recorded and released many songs and albums that revolutionized Tsengian rap. However, DJ Zhongguo left for rival Zenghe in July 1994 and the label fell apart. ECN had reached an agreement to merge with Redearth Entertainment, another label, and on November 2, 1994, ECN was disestablished and all of its offices were handed over to Redearth.
