Brownswood Recordings' photostream

Welcome to Brownswood Recordings; brand-new label set up by Gilles Peterson and Heavyweight.

We thought it was high time to open up the channels and start releasing some fresh new music. Brownswood is our labour of love - we just want to put out great, soulful sounds, no matter where they’re from or what the style.

Gilles is still flying around, dropping unexpected dance-floor gems on party people around the globe while his worldwide show on BBC Radio 1 continues to be a weekly staple for music heads tuning in to enjoy anything from moody techno to vintage folk.

Brownswood releases range from the explosive sounds of groundbreaking Japanese live act Soil & 'Pimp' Sessions - modern jazz, rough-around-the-edges, adrenalin-charged and unadulterated entertainment - to the lush, beat-laden orchestral sounds of The Heritage Orchestra.

Oh yeah, and compilations like the Brownswood Bubblers series.

So that’s Brownswood Recordings. The common thread through these diverse sounds is that we like them. A lot. We hope you do too…
