Artists

Galliano

Rob Gallagher was Finchley's answer to the Last Poets. Originally Gilles Peterson’s DJ roadie, Rob was an integral part of the '85/86 jazz dance scene. A dancer with attitude, his career started when he picked up the mic at the WAG and threw out jazz-poetry over Peterson’s tunes... When Piller and Peterson launched the label, Rob, who by now had adopted the moniker Galliano, was the obvious choice to record the first single.

Gang Starr

The most influential MC-and-DJ tandem of the 1990s, Gang Starr set new standards for East Coast rap with a pair of early-'90s touchstones, Step in the Arena (1991) and Daily Operation (1992), whose appeal has only grown over the decades. Beginning with these classic releases, both listeners and critics heaped mounds of praise upon Guru and DJ Premier — the former because of his socially conscious lyrics and no-nonsense stance, the latter because of his DJ-style beat-making and jazzy sound.

Gazzara

Gazzara is the acid jazz project by Francesco Gazzara, a film and TV composer since the late 90’s.

Gerald Veasley

Born and raised in Philadelphia, Gerald Veasley is an excellent bassist who has played his share of commercial music but definitely has the chops needed for more improvisatory settings.

Gilles Peterson

Gilles Peterson is a broadcaster, DJ and record collector who’s played a pivotal role in supporting forward-thinking underground music in the UK and beyond over the past three decades.

Ginger Root

Ginger Root is an American indie soul music project from Huntington Beach, California, led by singer-songwriter and instrumentalist Cameron Lew. He has described the project's musical sound as "aggressive elevator soul".

GoGo Penguin

Hailing from Manchester, England, GoGo Penguin are a left-field jazz piano trio who seamlessly wed rock, post-bop jazz, and minimalist classical influences with electronic production elements.

Gota

Gota Yashiki earned a reputation as a dance producer and songwriter in the late '80s, as he worked with artists like Soul II Soul and Bomb the Bass. As the '90s wore on, Gota became progressively more interested in techno and electronica. He finally became a recording artist in his own right in the mid-'90s.
