El Puerto Records is a German music label that was founded in 2014 in Gerstetten near Ulm by Bernd Stelzer and Torsten Ihlenfeld.

With the American singer David Reece (ex-Accept) and his Sainted Sinners[2] (including Frank Pané (Bonfire) and Ferdy Doernberg), another big name joined the label in 2016.

The decision was made to switch to Edel Music and Kontor New Media (digital), which enabled further renowned bands such as Dawn of Destiny, Crossplane, Dezperadoz and Vanish as well as the newcomers Dying Phoenix.
