Tru Thoughts was formed in 1999 in Brighton, on the south coast of England, by Robert Luis and Paul Jonas. Initially run from underneath Rob's stairs, the label was originally started as a home for some of the exciting music being produced by the regular guests at our Brighton club nights, at which Rob was the resident DJ.

After a run of eclectic 12" and 7" singles, the first artist album was Bonobo's debut, 'Animal Magic', and it was immediately well received by critics and fans, as well as the music being in demand for adverts and major compilations. As the club nights continued to be packed out, any income was reinvested back into the label. With Brighton the hub of a buzzing leftfield music scene, it wasn't long before more of these great artists were snapped up, with Quantic, Nostalgia 77, Alice Russell and TM Juke forming the backbone of the roster. Other long-term signings followed from further afield, including London trio Belleruche; Lance Ferguson from Melbourne, Australia (with his various guises including The Bamboos, Lanu, Menagerie and the production of Kylie Auldist); New Orleans' Hot 8 Brass Band; and Edinburgh's Hidden Orchestra.


In 2007 Quantic moved to Colombia and began working with numerous amazing artists from Central and South America, which opened up an exciting new stream of musical styles into the label, of which this compilation is a brilliant testimony. Just listen!
