Fellaheen Records was an Australian record label run by Steven Stavrakis and Stephen Pavlovic.
The label was founded in 1993 after Stavrakis' closed his previous label Waterfront Records. The new label released music from local and international acts, including Australians Fur, Budd, Sourpuss, Ben Lee, Magic Dirt, and was considered more "indie" than Waterfront.
In 1995 they released the Beastie Boys' Aglio E Olio EP as a lathe cut clear vinyl record, with some being shared with the Beastie Boys' label Grand Royal. Three other lathe records were released for bands Gerling, Pavement, and Sourpuss. The label also released other Grand Royal albums by DJ Hurricane and Luscious Jackson, often with exclusives tracks. Grand Royal in turn released Ben Lee's debut album in America, and Fellaheen is credited with starting Ben Lee's career.
Adam Yee was Assistant Managing Director/ A & R at Fellaheen Records for three and a half years, but left in August 1997. Later that month, Fellaheen Records' operations were taken over by Shock Records, where they were looked after by Tom Larnach-Jones. Shock later owned the label outright. Following this, Pavlovic started another label Modular Recordings in 1998. Stavrakis worked at Modular briefly before starting In-Fidelity Recordings with Bruce Milne in 2002.
