History

In 2010, Harris decided to create his own vanity label and named it "Fly Eye Records" after his signature fly-eye sunglasses that he handcrafted himself, which feature on the cover of his 2009 album, '' Ready for the Weekend''. The original purpose from the label was to scout other artists that they admire without the contract restrictions of a major label. When Harris established Fly Eye Records he said stating, "My goal for Fly Eye Records is to release the most exciting club music I can get my hands on."
