DRT Entertainment was a New York City based independent record label founded in 2003 by Derek Shulman, Ron Urban and Theodore "Ted" Green. In 2007 bands on the label came forward claiming that DRT had not paid them for their releases. The label is now looking for new investors.
Billing itself as a "home for former major-label artists with an established fan base". The company previously signed a U.S. distribution deal with Universal Music Group's Fontana Distribution. DRT is also distributed by Universal Music Canada and a variety of companies in the rest of the world including Pinnacle in the United Kingdom and JVC Records in Japan.
DRT has one subsidiary label, Brass Tacks Records. It is a vanity label founded by the Street Dogs.
DRT also remasters and re-releases older material pertinent to the label. In 2005, it released "35th Anniversary" editions of many CDs by Gentle Giant, Shulman's former band. (Thirty-five years after the debut album.)
