Hed Kandi is a UK-based record label and a music brand which was established in 1999 (13 years ago) by Mark Doyle, specializing in commercial house music. Hed Kandi's catalogue includes both artist albums and various genres of club compilations.

The name is a modified spelling of "head candy", reminiscent of the expression eye candy.

In Jan. 2006 (6 years ago), Hed Kandi Records was acquired by the UK record company Ministry of Sound for an undisclosed sum. Since then, Mark Doyle and his team created a new record label, Fierce Angel. The leadership of Hed Kandi was taken over by Dan Baxter, who had previously worked for the label/brand when it was owned by UK media company, the Guardian Media Group. As of 2009 (3 years ago) the Hed Kandi brand, together with Ministry of Sound, belongs to the MSHK Group.

In Mar. 2007 (5 years ago), Hed Kandi opened a Beach Bar in Egypt's Red Sea coastline resort of Hurghada city. This added to their portfolio by branching in to venues.

The Hed Kandi label has branched out extensively since its debut in 1999 (13 years ago) and now includes a clothing and fragrance franchise. It has also partnered with Monarch Airlines to offer flights to Ibiza under the FlyKandi brand, created by the Hed Kandi team.

Hed Kandi has its own customised content channel on Audiotube.
