For as many labels that join, others leave. I wonder if Josh Gabriel had to agree to not release any material under his own name on any other label like some of the other artists on Armada's label group.

Well, sure.

all armada does for the label is the things the artist doesn't have time to do themselves (distro, marketing, publishing, exploitation, etc) the artists maintain complete artistic control. what you guys aren't realizing is Armada is one of the few record COMPANIES left that specialize in dance music.

Good points. As long as they let Josh do his own thing when it comes to producing, I'm okay with it.

I dont deal in conspiracy theories or rumours, you should know that by now. To me complete artistic control doesnt include not being able to release music under your own name on other labels, and I know of at least two artists on their roster who have that kind of restriction imposed.

There is a pretty simple reason for that. The label is trying to develop their own brand of artists. So if you have an artist with releases under the same name on 5-6 labels, it doesn't make it that special.
Not to mention if the company spends time and money investing into the development of that artist, through compilations, releases, press and marketing, then to have them go somewhere else with all that, probably doesn't make too much sense!
