King Island Roxystars Recordings AB, more known as Roxy Recordings, or Roxy was an independent record label based in Stockholm, Sweden. It was bought by Universal Music Group in August 2011. The label was formed in 2007 and is owned by Egmont through Nordisk Film and MBO. The label is mostly active on the Swedish market, but with signings such as Agnes and Erik Hassle, they have made an international leap. Agnes was the first one out, selling almost one million copies of her international hit single "Release Me" in 2009 and being released under Roxy's licence in 35 countries. Erik Hassle was successful with his hit "Hurtful" in among others, the UK.
