Founded in 2009, Gearbox has already established a catalogue of over 25 releases including limited editions and deluxe box sets, which are sold around the world through a network of specialist record stores and through its own online music store.

With a commitment to 'put the ritual back in to music listening' and 'to support new music and lost treasures on vinyl', the label releases extremely high quality and previously unreleased vinyl cuts as well as new recordings by contemporary artists, such as multi-award winning BINKER & MOSES, also performing at the festival later that evening (La Raza 8:30pm).

‘With its satisfyingly fat vinyl platters, audiophile-friendly downloads and imaginative catalogue of rediscovered gems
(plus new recordings), LP specialist Gearbox is becoming one
of the wonders of the age’

Philip Johnson, The Independent

‘For those who prefer their jazz on vinyl, the redoubtable
UK-based Gearbox label - famed for their attention to detail
in regard to vinyl mastering - leads the way’

Charles Waring, Record Collector

‘Pure analogue jazz from vinyl-only label Gearbox is bucking
the digital trend by putting sound quality and sheer enjoyment
of the physical article above everything else’

Sally Evans-Derby, Jazz Journal

‘If you’re into post bop British Jazz, dedicated to analogue
sound and expensive heavy duty hi-quality vinyl, the website
of Gearbox Records has to be a regular stop-off’

Paul Bradshaw, Stereophonic Supply Company

‘Gearbox has one goal and that’s to produce the best 
sounding vinyl that can be made....the sound is like nothing 
else I’ve encountered’

Jason Kennedy, The Ear
