Sending huge love and congratulations to today. His third album is here, it’s incredibly beautiful. An emotional document of a life filled with love, loss and new beginnings. Released on his own Power In Comfort imprint (with a little help from Albert’s Favourites) we really can’t recommend this to you enough.

Support independent music, reward yourself with beautiful sounds.

Another beautiful day at on Saturday. Honestly can’t get enough of spending the day with the labels we love and the people who support us and the people who are only just discovering us but just want to dive in and hear something new.

Getting to tell the stories of these records and share the music we’ve been putting out is the WHOLE point of doing this.

We completely love seeing all the records with all the beautiful art we’ve created, spread out in front of us too.

Thank you everyone who came by and supported. So good to hear live on the day too and to catch up with the brilliant John Parry from and the family, and so many more. Love this community so much. Forever grateful.

It’s here! The debut album from is in the world right now. This epic, double vinyl, hour of music is crammed full of ideas, emotions and heartfelt expression. Not a minute wasted from start to finish.

“Awesome” Laurent Garnier
“Essential listening” Electronic Sound magazine

We couldn’t be prouder of Arjuna’s achievement with this. You need to make time to listen start to finish as it is most definitely a journey by design.

Thanks to everyone involved in making this record. Pick up a copy today or come down tomorrow and grab one from Arjuna in person after a very special solo live set at 2.30pm.

And don’t forget the album launch at Lower Third on 24th May.

Just a SMALL selection of the amazing albums we’ve had the privilege of sharing with you over the last few years. It’s Friday so it’s the perfect day to go and pick up anything you missed first time around.

On this blazing Friday in London it definitely seems perfect to check the magical album Senga.

The essential brilliance of Still Dreamin’ is sounding fresher and more exciting than ever.

The inspiring collaboration by and Puzzle Dust can’t be missed.

It may be for autumn lovers but the most recent album sounds good in spring, summer and winter too.

Brand new music from is the new jazz record you’ve been waiting for, full of gorgeous melodic jazz music.

And the defiantly unique 2nd improvisational record from is full of creative brilliance that is hard to believe as a completely improvised record. Pure bliss.

Head to bandcamp today and get your fill.

This beautiful record by and is a year old.

A big collaboration between the two artists couples Jonny’s trademark beats with Andrew’s melodic magic.

Released on galaxy blue and black vinyl with gorgeous artwork by Jonny himself and even a hidden track… really a special release for us.

And we still have a few copies available if you missed it. Head to Bandcamp!

Huge congratulations to releasing his debut album today. This deeply melodic, jazz beauty is a result of years of experience, expertise and energy. Recorded last year in New York with an amazing group of players, Mark’s writing and arrangements have sprung to life from the frenetic energy of Picture This and Overdrive to the delicate touches of Truth Be Told and Nothing New.

We’re hugely proud to get to share this record with you today. Grab vinyl in your local record shops or on Bandcamp or stream wherever you enjoy good music.

Tomorrow…
Debut album from is out in the world. Pre-orders up on and you can check two songs ‘Overdrive’ and the beautiful ‘Matilda’s Dance’.

Thanks to all the people supporting this on the radio already and sending hugely positive reactions to us about the album. It really is 🔥🔥🔥🔥

A few more shots from the New York sessions here. Really can’t wait to share this music tomorrow.

In 2023 and Aditi were assaulted and wrongfully detained by the met police based on racial profiling and discrimination.

They are now holding them to account for it and need our assistance.

Andrew and Aditi have been a massive part of our lives and music since we started this label. What happened to them is abysmal but an all too standard reality in this city.

If you can, please help them fight.

The third album from is on its way! Released on his own label (with a little loving assistance from Albert’s Favourites) Reflections is a deeply moving record full of collaborations that deliver magic time and time again.

It is a perfect evolution and next step for Hector’s unique sound. Gentle compositions sit alongside deep bass and the occasional hectic beat. In a way only he can, this album is reflective, but unquestionably moves forward. You’re going to love it. Get your pre-orders in now…
