This record company was originally formed by Colin Bird and Steve Barrow for the purposes of promoting Reggae DJ Music to the world. The mission was to become the world wide web's 'de-facto' reference centre for reggae DJ information as well as provide an ever expanding catalogue of DJ music for sale in a variety of multi-media formats.
With the resignation and departure of SLB the company has gone through some inevitable changes. Microphonic is continuing to pursue its future as a record company and label as well as various other activities to remain financially stable. However, the company is also now focussing its activities not only on reggae DJ music, but also on other Jamaican influenced music recorded in the traditional way. The Microphonic label will now publish music played by musicians and recorded through microphones. Needless to say we will continue to exploit new technology but the music we produce will be of a more traditional nature.
The two demo's on our music myspace page (click our logo in the friends section below) are going to be the first releases on the Microphonic label. We are also seeking Roots and Culture artists with Conscious lyrics to ride the 'Herb from Africa' rhythm so if you think you've got what it takes show us what you can do over 'Herb from Africa' and you may end up with a recording contract on the Microphonic label.
