Profile:	New York City-based label founded in 1991 by Mike Weiss and his father Sam Weiss (2). Mike had revived his father's Sam Records label in 1989 before he took Frankie Crocker's advice to start a label in his own identity. The name came from WBLS radio DJ Chuck Chillout who nicknamed Mike 'Captain Nervous' due to his hyperactive, wiry energy while promoting hip hop records. The famous logo was created by EMI/Chrysalis art director Marc Cozza who had designed a few covers for Sam Records. The updated logo, unveiled in 2004, with the figure set against a brick wall, included graffiti writing by Blake Lethem.

So crazy! I only found out recently that one of the biggest house labels from NYC actually started out as a hip hop label. Then it released some sick Acid tunes and underground house. You can definitely feel the big transitions that were going on in clubland in NYC in the early 90s on this label. From Black Moon to Winx's Don't Laugh. CRAZY!!!
