| Profile: | This label was started in 2006 by Gilles Peterson to output some artists he felt deserved attention.
It follows on from the first Brownswood Records imprint which was a side-label of Talkin' Loud (part of Mercury) --probably the most influential label Gilles Peterson has been involved in-- which released stuff from Japanese artists in the mid-1990's (more specifically, mainly from the artist United Future Organization).
The label's inspiration comes from the Brownswood Sessions that Gilles does every 3 months or so on his BBC Radio 1 'Worldwide' show.
In these sessions he gets back to the roots of modern Jazz-influenced dancefloor music by playing records (strictly vinyl original pressings, of course!) that continue to inspire newer musicians & producers today.
Some of these newer artists, musicians and producers are highlighted on the label, and it serves as an outlet for those who are a bit different or unusual, and who might have been overlooked by most labels, a space to get their work released.
