Ibadan Records - A higher quality experience in music.

Ibadan Records has been and continues to be a groundbreaking tastemaker deeply rooted in the influences of colorful New York life as is represented in the range of our repertoire. Now existing in Germany, expect nothing but our highest regard to quality.

There isn’t really an Ibadan sound. Ibadan has a principle to make high quality music which covers all areas of electronic music, acoustic dance music, ultimately jazz funk, jazz and maybe even hip hop and R&B;”.

Now over a decade doing business, label founder Jerome Sydenham [a] ‘s artistic ambitions for Ibadan Records couldn’t be clearer. From the earliest years of acoustic, afro-tinged house to the Pan-African Electro of the 10” series to the more recent explorations into Techno and TechHouse, the sound of Ibadan has always pioneered new directions in dance.

Ibadan Records was founded in 1995 to fulfill of Sydenham’s search for an outlet for his own creative and entrepreneurial skills. Passionate discussions about classic records and new jams with, then, Dance Tracks owner Joe Claussell [a] , led to more serious deliberations about the future of his label. Both were particularly unified in their approach to reworking the prestigious Atlantic Records Ten City [a] catalogue which Sydenham acquired from East West [a] upon his resignation. Sydenham brought in Kerri Chandler [a] who shared similar remix aspirations for Ten City [a] ‘s classics and thus the backbone of the label was formed.

Among the latest endeavours for Ibadan is the launch of two new label imprints; Apotek Records [l] and Avocado Records [l] . Apotek Records is the love child of the Jerome Sydenham and the label continues from the existing legacy of the classic Ibadan 10 Inch Beats series. Apotek was created to push the boundaries of the Techno genre.

Avocado Records [l] was created as a collaboration between Sydenham [a] and Danish DJ/Producer Rune RK [a] . Even though their styles are very different, there is a mutual respect and understanding for the music. A new mutant of sounds and arrangements emerged from their collaboration. Not really House, not really Techno, but dirty and soulful at the same time. Energetic, yet calm, these tracks are something new. The first release from Avocado “Elephant”/ “Can’t Stop Not” has received support from DJs such as Marco Carola [a] , Ricardo Villalobos [a] and Luciano [a] .
