Dune Records has found itself in the spotlight after winning a Mercury Music Prize nomination for its Soweto Kinch album, Conversations With The Unseen.
So, who are Dune Records then?
Distributed by New Note in the UK, Dune is a Harrow, London-based independent label, now with artist management and publishing arms, initially created to put out demos for the band NU Troop. Dune went on to issue albums by J-Life and Denys Baptiste, making the label official in 1997.
And who is behind the company?
Jazz Warriors double bassist and record producer Gary Crosby, whose current band Jazz Jamaica Allstars is also signed to the label, and his partner Janine Irons got Dune up and running from a back room in their house. Having just issued its eighth album in the form of Soweto Kinch's Mercury-nominated album, Dune is still growing and is about to take on a marketing manager and bookings manager.
What's all this about the Soweto Kinch and the Mercury nomination?
Kinch is vying for the award alongside the likes of Coldplay and Radiohead, as this year's only jazz hope.
