Fierce Angel
Fierce Angel is a UK-based record label set up in 2006 by DJ Mark Doyle. The label employs a handful of DJs, sponsors special club night events, and employs a lifestyle marketing approach in regard to its endeavors. History Doyle (as well as several other employees and illustrator Jason Brooks) left the house music label Hed Kandi mid-2005 to start a new label - Tokyo Project. Their first CD, ''Tokyo Project: The Collection'', was released in late 2005. However, fees resulting from a legal dispute with Hed Kandi forced Tokyo Project to close. Doyle then set up the Fierce Angel label and released their first CD, ''Tokyo Disco'', in early 2006. Subsequent releases have dropped the ''Tokyo'' reference altogether. Fierce Angel have also begun to set up residencies with some nightclubs in the United Kingdom, as well as some summer presence in Ibiza. Currently Fierce Angel hold events in over 20 clubs in the UK and 10 overseas including the United States, Amsterdam, Portugal, C ...
