Talkin' Loud

Talkin' Loud is a record label, originally founded by Gilles Peterson in 1990 after he left Acid Jazz Records.[1] The label name is based on Peterson's Dingwalls club night "Talkin' Loud And Sayin' Something", itself a reference to James Brown and Bobby Byrd's "Talkin' Loud and Sayin' Nothing". Norman Jay was its A&R.[2] The label is owned by Phonogram.

The first release from Talkin' Loud was a self-titled compilation in 1990 featuring artists Galliano, Jalal of the Last Poets, Incognito, Young Disciples, Wild & Peaceful, and Ace of Clubs. The label saw five of its artists nominated for the Mercury Music Prize, with Roni Size's Reprazent winning the award in 1997 for the album New Forms.[3] The iconic Talkin' Loud logo was created by Ian Swift (Swifty) who also designed the magazine Straight No Chaser.

Artists
gollark: You can use things because they will probably increase security. Even if they are not perfect.
gollark: Yes you can.
gollark: Also very bad hardware support apparently?
gollark: They do apparently have a good record to show for it.
gollark: ASLR makes exploits mildly less practical and is waaay easier than, I don't know, exhaustively auditing every line of code in Linux/BSD's kernel/whatever for security holes.
