Welcome to Brownswood. Brand new indie 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 a low-key operation and a labour of love. We just want to put out great, soulful music, no matter where it’s from or what the style.

Gilles is still flying around, dropping unexpected dancefloor gems on party people around the globe. And his Worldwide show on BBC Radio 1 is still a weekly staple for music heads tuning in for anything from moody techno to upfront soul to vintage folk. But there’s more music out there than one man can play, and definitely more than a tiny label can release. Still, we plan to put out some choice gems for our collective listening pleasure.

Releases range from the explosive sounds of groundbreaking Japanese live act SOIL & “PIMP” Sessions - modern jazz, rough around the edges, adrenalin charged, unadulterated entertainment… to the lush, beat laden orchestral sounds of The Heritage Orchestra. Then there’s the much heralded Bristol based soul kid, Ben Westbeech, who dropped his highly anticipated debut single ‘So Good Today’, backed up by killer remixes from Domu and Osunlade. Oh yeah - and compilations like the recently released Brownswood Bubblers, the first in what will be a top shelf series of new music hand-picked by Gilles. This one is particularly soulful and delicious, we think you’ll agree.
