Laura Fares discovered and developed NINA in 2010, a German singer-songwriter based in Berlin, with whom she formed a band until 2019. Aztec Records released NINA’s first single "Take Me Away", a pop dance song, in 2011.^[21] The label has also produced and released NINA’s first two albums ‘Sleepwalking’ (2018) and ‘Synthian’ (2020), with producers like Richard X, Oscillian, Ricky Wilde and Sunglasses Kid.

In 2012, Aztec Records teamed up with EQ Music Blog to organize the first Poptronik Festival in Sitges, Spain, featuring Andy Bell of Erasure, Monarchy, Simon Curtis, Markus Riva, superstar producer Fernando Garibay and other international artists, and a compilation was released for that event.^[22]

The label has more than 25 international artists on their roster and releases new music weekly. The label also releases different compilations regularly, like “Pure Synthwave” which was curated by NINA herself,^[23] “Pure Darkwave”, “Pure Retrowave”, “Pure Synthpop” and more recently “Pure Latin Synth”, that inspired Ariel and Laura to start a Latin American branch, based in Argentina.

In 2020 Aztec Records launched their Spanish speaking sub-label called Aztec Latin, which specialises in pop and electronic music purely in Spanish. Artists include: Ignacia,^[24][25] Jaz Oil,^[26] Locker, Verona, Caseti, Mandy Barrón, Kush Mama, The Broken Flowers Project and others.

Aztec Music Publishing is the publishing branch of Aztec Records.

Placements include brands such as: Adidas, Hugo Boss, Mercedes Benz,^[27] Uniqlo, Victoria's Secret^[28] and some others.
