History

Originally named Deconstruction Company, it was founded in 2002 by Peter Bittenbender and Jason Goldwatch after the creation of their hip-hop documentary and accompanying soundtrack, One Big Trip.[2] The soundtrack was then released as a double-sided DVD/CD in 2002 with Hieroglyphic Imperium Records.[3]

In 2012, Decon earned a Promax Award for work on NBCUniversal's "Green Week" campaign.[4] That year, Misha Louy and Sacha Jenkins both joined as partners, in the Production and Entertainment divisions.[5][6]

Decon Records

Decon Records is an independent record label functioning as a division of Decon.[7] It was established in 2003, with a focus on underground hip-hop recordings. In 2013, Decon Records was noted as one of Billboard’s 50 Best Independent Labels in America.[8][9] Decon Records began working with the west coast collective Project Blowed to release Love & Hate by Aceyalone, which features production from El-P and RJD2.[10] Decon Records also partnered with The Roots to establish Okayplayer Records.[11] The label also released RJD2's Magnificent City Instrumentals (2006) and Evidence's Red Tape Instrumentals (2007).[12] In 2008, the label released an album from 88-Keys, called The Death of Adam.[13] The album featured Kid Cudi and Redman and was executive produced by Kanye West.[14] The video for the lead single “Stay Up! (Viagra)” was directed by Decon co-founder Jason Goldwatch and premiered on MTV.[15]

The following year, Decon licensed RJD2’s “A Beautiful Mine” as the theme song for the AMC show Mad Men.[16] That year, Decon released Jay Electronica's Just Blaze-produced tracks "Exhibit A" and "Exhibit C".[17][18]

The Alchemist's Russian Roulette, Gangrene's Vodka & Ayahuasca, and Roc Marciano’s Reloaded all made the HipHopDX 2012 records of the year awards list,[19] and were favorably reviewed in Complex Magazine.[20][21] XXL singled out Roc Marciano's Decon Records release, Reloaded, as the “Best Slept-On Album” of that year.[22] In 2011, Decon earned recognition from Billboard as one of the 50 Best Indie Labels in America.[23]
