Far Out Recordings is an independent record label based in London that specializes in releasing quality Brazilian music from both new and established Brazilian artists such as Joyce, Marcos Valle, Azymuth, Arthur Verocai, the Ipanemas, Sabrina Malheiros and Zeep.

In 2004 Far Out celebrated ten years in business and in 2005 it reached another milestone with it’s 100th release.

Far Out also releases music from European and US musicians and producers who share the label’s appreciation of the Brazilian vibes such as Troubleman (Mark Pritchard) and Marc Mac (4hero)

Formed in 1994 by London born record producer & Brazilian aficionado Joe Davis, Far Out has released new recordings from Brazilian superstars Marcos Valle, Joyce, Azymuth and Wilson Das Neves whilst at the same time discovering and nurturing the next wave of Brazilian artists such as Sabrina Malheiros, Democustico, Binario and Zeep.

Far Out has also reissued forgotten masterpieces from Milton Nascimento & Roberto Quartin and created successful compilations such as, ‘Brazilian Love Affair’, ‘Misturada’ and ‘Brazilika’.

With the label’s HQ in London yet the majority of the recordings completed in Rio, Far Out has dual Brazilian and British citizenship. This has resulted in a sound influenced both by the classical music of Brazil and also the cross-musical fertilization that characterizes the London music scene. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the names of those producers and remixers who have recorded and remixed for us such as Kenny Dope, Troubleman (aka Mark Pritchard), Da Lata, 4hero, Osunlade, Big Bang & DJ Venom to name a few.

The name Far Out is almost a by word for quality new Brazilian music – you won’t find a Brazilian music compilation worth its salt without at least one track from the label on it and to date we have licensed tracks to over two hundred compilations.
