The label was born in 1997 in Rome, founded by the producer / dj /musician Roby "jazzman" Colella a.k.a Roby J.C..
It started as a small project and suddenly with the success of the production of the "Estrangera" track by Jazzedelic (Remixed by the famous DJ SPILLER), became a very important label in the Italian panorama. After reaching the PP sales in Germany and with the Funky juice direct distribution efforts, the label start to get well-know in all Europe .
