Far Out Recordings

Far Out Recordings is a renowned British-Brazilian label founded in 1994 by Joe Davis, a DJ and record producer from London. Inspired by his love for jazz, funk, and soul in the 1980s Rare Groove scene, Davis's passion for Brazilian music led him to Brazil as a teenager. There, he formed close friendships with musical heroes and began collecting records.

Recognized as the UK's foremost authority on Brazilian music, Davis established Far Out Recordings to share the vibrant sounds of Brazil with the world. The label showcases a diverse range of Brazilian artists, from legendary figures like Azymuth, Marcos Valle, and Joyce to rising talents such as Sabrina Malheiros and Clara Moreno.

Artists like Theo Parrish, Mark Pritchard, Dego, and Kirk Degiorgio have contributed to the label's cutting-edge dance and beats releases. Additionally, Far Out Recordings is known for unearthing forgotten masterpieces and reissuing lost gems from artists like Milton Nascimento and Roberto Quartin. Each release is crafted with meticulous attention to detail in sound, aesthetic, and physicality.

With their acclaimed compilations and a roster of globally touring artists, Far Out Recordings continues to spread the joy, warmth, and creative spirit of Brazilian music. As Joe Davis affirms, they are still driven to discover new stars while remaining immensely proud of their achievements and formidable artist roster
