Brownswood Recordings is the independent record label founded in 2006 by DJ, record collector and broadcaster Gilles Peterson. It’s a platform for new artists to grow and a space for established acts to break with tradition. An outlet for the eclectic breadth of Gilles’ taste as a DJ and collector, its early output broached orchestral arrangements, full-throttle Japanese jazz and club-rooted soul music. Over almost two decades later, that inclusive ethos continues: it showcases the new jazz messengers of the UK underground, fresh tangents in beat-making and the rapidly mutating developments in club culture.
