Brownswood Recordings is the independent record label founded by DJ, record collector and broadcaster Gilles Peterson. Founded in 2006, it’s a platform for new artists to grow, and a space for established acts to break with tradition. An outlet for the eclectic breadths of Gilles’ taste as a DJ and collector, its early output broached orchestral arrangements, full-throttle Japanese jazz and club-rooted soul music. Over a decade later, that inclusive ethos continues: it's showcases the new jazz messengers of the UK underground, fresh tangents in hip-hop-tipped-beatmaking and the rapidly-mutating dance music coming out of Havana.
