Brownswood

British label started in 2006 by Gilles Peterson to output some artists he felt deserved attention.

The label follows on from the first Brownswood Records imprint which was a side-label of Talkin' Loud probably the most influential label Gilles Peterson has been involved in.

The label's inspiration comes from the Brownswood Basement sessions that Gilles did every three months or so on his BBC Radio 1 'Worldwide' show. In these sessions he got back to the roots of modern jazz-influenced dancefloor music by playing records (typically strictly vinyl original pressings) that continue to inspire newer musicians and producers today.
