Jazz

Gearbox is a British independent label founded in 2009 by Darrel Sheinman. Based in London and Tokyo, Gearbox releases new music by contemporary artists as well as previously-unreleased archival recordings. They are well known for their jazz releases, including the "BBC Jazz For Moderns" series taken from jazz programmes on the BBC. The label also has a series called Japanese Editions featuring legendary performances at Ronnie Scott's jazz club in London.

In addition to their record releases, Gearbox operates a mastering studio located at Tileyard Studios in King's Cross, London. Equipped with vintage analog equipment, including a 1967 Haeco Scully lathe with Westrex amplifiers, they offer high-quality lacquer cutting and mastering services. The studio also provides direct-to-disc or tape recording using the adjacent recording studio.

For its own releases, Gearbox Records collaborates with Optimal Media GmbH. Known engineers associated with the label include Darrel Sheinman (Daz), Caspar Sutton-Jones (caspar@gearbox), Cicely Balston (2013-2016), Carla Iannace (since 2021 - carla@gearbox), and Kristina Rhodes (2021-2023). The studio is credited on releases as Gearbox Records Studio or Gearbox Recording.

Newest Listed Items

I Am Panda is the latest release from the inventive, unclassifiable Chiminyo, whose highly original approach to drumming and production was laid bare on last year's We'll Never Know. His music packs a punch, overflowing with drifting melodies and psychedelic warmth, forming a missile of electronic layers and live drum intricacies that work both as daytime radio-friendly companions as well as nighttime dancefloor bangers. Chiminyo is the flagship project of Tim Doyle, the London (UK) based drummer and percussionist who also plays with Maisha, Cykada, Gary Bartz, Theon Cross and many others.
