A-Beat-C

A-Beat-C is an Italian Eurobeat and Hi-NRG sublabel of Rodgers & Contini Records founded in 1990 by Giancarlo Pasquini and Alberto Contini. Early releases were distributed by Non Stop S.p.A.

The earliest releases were released in white and blue labels with a shark image on top. Later, the vinyl designs were changed to blue labels with a light blue outline of a person. At the turn of the century, the vinyl releases jumped multiple hundred catalog numbers forward to ABeat 1999. They also started using a new label design. The layout was similar to the previous one, but this time the background was space-themed, and the figure was outlined with a constellation of stars.

Evelina Malferrari's founding of Sun Fire Records resulted in the death of A-Beat-C as an active Eurobeat label. In 2009, Giancarlo Pasquini decided to stop working at A-Beat-C, and he instead began helping Malferrari at Sun Fire Records in 2010. Various singers from A-Beat-C transferred over to Sun Fire Records as well. This meant the end of A-Beat-C's output in 2009, and Sun Fire Records served as A-Beat-C's replacement on the Super Eurobeat series. Sun Fire Records went defunct with the end of the main Super Eurobeat albums.

After this, Giancarlo Pasquini founded Dave Rodgers Music, A-Beat-C's modern successor, which has been releasing new music since 2018.

Though A-Beat-C no longer makes new songs, in 2021, it started releasing official rips of its vinyl singles online.
