Since its creation, Igloo’s work has evolved considerably. Initially confined to left-field marginal productions (contemporary music, electronic), the association progressively moved into jazz - a field which was largely ignored by traditional producers in Belgium. The label now offers a glimpse into 30 years of jazz and improvised music.
Nathalie Loriers, Philippe Aerts, Philip Catherine, Michel Herr, Steve Houben, Eric Legnini, Charles Loos, Ivan Paduart, Jacques Pelzer, Sadi, Diederik Wissels, Pascal Schumacher 4tet, Manu Hermia, Anne Wolf, Melanie De Biasio… these are just some of the artists who made IGLOO what it is today.

Best known for its jazz productions, Igloo has preserved the more eclectic vocation of its origins under the “Igloo +” imprint, as well as remaining open to other horizons by supporting multi-cultural encounters. The label now also has a world music imprint, “Igloo Mondo” mostly reserved for exceptional collaborations between musicians. These include Pierre Van Dormael with the Senegalese kora player Soriba Kouyaté, Charles Loos and the Aissawas of Rabat, Anfass, Majid Bekkas and Mâäk Spirit with the Gnaoua Express from Tangier… Igloo, a source of warmth in a cold sea, now has its balcony on the world.
