Syntax Records
Website:http://www.syntaxrecords.com
Email:info@syntaxrecords.com
Info:This label is founded by the brothers Steve and Tim Trudeau in 1997. After ending up with debts due to the fact that their old distributor the Butterfly-Diamante Music Group suddenly went bankrupt in 2004 they worked hard to keep the label going and to pay their creditors.

Movies
Syntax Records is therefore still around and one of the most mainstream succesful Holyhiphop labels with songs being licensed for movies, sites and commercials.

Digital only
On May 30th, 2006 the dance album of Shane Newville entitled Formless is the first digital only release by Syntax Records.

Distribution
Syntax Records almost made a deal with Sony distribution for RedCloud's album Hawthorne's Most Wanted. But the label ended up bringing the whole Syntax catalogue to a bigger distributor.

Koch Distribution
Syntax has chosen Koch Entertainment Distribution (press release Koch - December 16th, 2006) to bring their products to the market place. Koch is the largest independent music and video distributor in North America and holds the highest market share of any independent. In 1991, Koch revolutionized independent music distribution by becoming the first national independent distributor of domestic labels in the U.S., offering the first alternative to the traditional system of regional independent distribution or national major label distribution.

Back
So the label seems to be back on top and 2007 will be their return to form, when several new albums are ready for release. The first album through Koch Distribution is the compilation Night Owls 3, released in Spring 2007.

Site
The site of the label is renewed and launched in July 2007, without the forum.
