Record Labels Daddy Kev's newest label venture is Alpha Pup Records. Founded in late 2004 with business manager Danyell Jariel, Alpha Pup was conceived as a licensing entity for Kev's catalog material, as well as a mechanism for releasing new material by close friend and allies. Since the label's founding, Alpha Pup has quickly gained momentum, and was able to release five records over the course of 2005. Kev was also a founding father of Celestial Recordings, the highly influential underground hip-hop and drum-and-bass label.

Celestial was launched in June of 1998 with the release of Phoenix Orion's Zimulated Experiencez LP. Celestial inked a distribution deal with Caroline by January 1999, and began their massive assault of releases. Although Celestial never assigned official titles to its employees, Daddy Kev acted as CEO and creative director during Celestial's entire existence, guiding the A&R direction of the label as well as designing nearly all of Celestial's record covers, advertisements and press releases. Suffice to say, Daddy Kev's music production would become synonymous with the "Celestial sound." Overall, more than 40 titles were released by Celestial Recordings and its subsidiaries (which included Vortex Recordings, Celestial's drum-and-bass imprint). ...show less
