Our Label Records was founded in March 2005 by DJ Gu from Bremen, Germany and his brother Andreas Gutjahr, London, England to produce and publish funk mainly on 7" [vinyl].
The label was born to produce and publish funk music that is still hand made today, despite sounding like straight out of the 1970s. For the first release funk legends The New Mastersounds from Leeds, England were approached and DJ Gu produced And Co-wrote an A and B side called Give Me A Minute. Released in late 2005 the single quickly moved up the top 10 lists of funk lovers and DJs all over the world and was sold out within a few months.
The second release Bread and Water by The Inmates was produced by funk grandmaster Keb Darge and Eddie Roberts of The New Mastersounds. Jazzman Records in London describes it as: "Proto-disco action produced by none other than disco queen KEB DARGE and Ably accompanied by New Mastersounds leader Eddie Roberts. There's a wee nod at 'Boogie with Your Baby' here but nowt wrong with that cos it's as good as they come. Classy sounds for the club indeed & with bonus beats on the flip!"
