Where The Myth Began
Casablanca Records (TM TN) in Hollywood, Florida is a historic music recording and artist development company founded in 1973 by Neil Bogart. The label helped ignite disco, rock, and funk, backing early KISS releases and dance floor legends that reshaped global culture and music forever.
Torch Passed Forward
When Richard W. Hechter saw the original label fading, he stepped in with renowned artists to buy it and register the trademark, preserving a true icon. Today we run a private, modern record label that protects that heritage while scouting serious bands and guiding them into the next era.
Strategic Label Acquisition
Richard W. Hechter leads Casablanca Records as the legal owner of the historic trademark and tradename, steering a revived label that honors Neil Bogart's vision. Under his direction we focus on lyric mastery, selective band recruitment, and artist development with real billboard potential.
The A&R Standard
We project Casablanca’s legendary spirit into the modern global era. Combining elite songwriting with worldwide distribution, we protect your career via RIAA certification standards and A2IM alignment. We curate serious artists engineered for enduring commercial success, not quick fades.
