Add a meaningful music-history touch to your display with this Virus Music ceramic ornament. The Athens imprint was founded in 2004 by Legend Recordings, whose independent-company story began in 1994. Led at launch by Miltos Karadsas, Virus Music focused on developing emerging performers in Greece. Its eventual closure, following events at the owner company, marked the end of its chapter in the independent-label landscape. A considered keepsake for Greek music fans, record-label collectors, and enthusiasts of company history.
Virus Music was founded in 2004 as a record-label imprint of Legend Recordings S.A., an independent Greek record company based in Athens. At launch, the imprint was headed by Miltos Karadsas, formerly managing director of Minos EMI. Drawing on his earlier work helping foster the independent Greek company Nitro Music, Karadsas developed Virus Music to compete with multinational labels gaining influence in the Greek market. The imprint emphasized artist development and signed new and young performers of the period, including Apostolia Zoi and Annet Artani. Although Virus Music was new to the Greek music industry, its parent company had been a prominent independent label across genres since 1994. Legend Recordings was owned by Modern Times, known in Greek as Μοντέρνοι Καιροί, which was described as one of Greece’s largest media companies at the time. In 2011, Modern Times owner Kostas Giannikos was arrested and convicted on embezzlement charges. The resulting circumstances led eventually to the label’s closure, marking the end of Virus Music’s place in the Greek independent-label landscape.
