Last week I discovered Finders Keepers, a London-based record label that specializes in “psychedelic / jazz / folk / funk / avant-garde and whacked-out movie musak.” These dudes are for real, and have rapidly amassed a serious collection of pressings that will prove indispensable to not only the casual audiophile, but for anybody who fancies themselves a producer or party-technician.

From their site:

“Catering to record collectors and DJ-producers alike with a huge emphasis on sample friendly soundscapes, rocksteady back-beats and primitive electronic experimentalism. Discerning purveyors of the bizarre and abnormal should expect the Japanese choreography records, space-age Turkish protest songs, Czechoslovakian vampire soundtracks, Welsh rare-beats, bubblegum folk, drugsploitation operatics, banned British crime thrillers and celebrity Gallic Martini adverts… presented on CD, 7″ and traditional black plastic discs in authentic packaging.”
