Designated Records LTD is a fresh, innovative music label based in the UK, known for combining genres with forward‑thinking ideas in sound. The label was founded in 2022 by multigenre producer Levi Batkin and draws on a wide range of musical influences from across the country.
Inspired by UK garage, drum and bass, bassline, UK hip hop and drill, Designated Records LTD aims to deliver unexpected, high‑energy, and emotionally engaging records. The label’s name reflects its purpose: each record is “designated” for a particular feeling, dancefloor, or moment in time, crafted with intention.
The label’s mission is to give listeners new dimensions through which to perceive and understand music. Rather than being restricted to one sound or format, Designated Records LTD embraces creative freedom, allowing artists to explore their own blend of influences while staying connected to the roots of UK club culture.
Collaboration sits at the centre of the label. Designated Records LTD works with artists from many walks of life and different parts of the world, connecting vocalists, producers, songwriters and performers to create music that feels both personal and communal.
Since its inception, the label has built a reputation for its fresh approach and genuine commitment to artist development, supporting careers with long‑term vision rather than one‑off releases.
