Future Classics & Forgotten Treasures — Selections for the Adventurous Music Listener (Founded in 2007 by Lexis)

Far Out Recordings was founded in 1994 by London DJ and record producer Joe Davis. His longstanding and insatiable passion for Brazilian music, fuelled by his initial love of the jazz, funk and soul ubiquitous on the Rare Groove scene in 1980s London, took him to Brazil first as a teenager. It was there that his enthusiasm for record-collecting led him to some of his musical heroes and the eventual formation of musical bonds and close friendships. Joe’s early discoveries led to him becoming the UK’s foremost authority on Brazilian music, much of it little-known here before his enthusiastic endorsements began to ring out across the music scene. This led to the inevitable, and the keen young music fan and DJ with an entrepreneurial flair founded Far Out Recordings.

The label’s aim from the start has been to bring the sound of Brazil to the world – to showcase the history and culture of a land bursting with creativity and energy – from the classic to the cutting edge. There have been numerous releases from both new and established Brazilian artists including legends such as Azymuth, Joyce, Marcos Valle, Arthur Verocai, The Ipanemas, Sabrina Malheiros, Clara Moreno and Binario, to name a few. 

Far Out also releases music from musicians and producers around the world who share the label’s appreciation for Brazilian music and culture. Alongside Brazilian music, the label is also well known for its longstanding association with underground dance music, having collaborated with some of the most acclaimed and accomplished electronic producers of our times. This had led to a rich plethora of pioneering and innovative dance and beats music, forging a future for the oft-neglected role of Brazil and its rhythms in the complex dance music diaspora of the UK and US, with 12" remixes and original productions from the likes of Theo Parrish, Mark Pritchard, 4hero, Dego, Andres, Marcellus Pittman, Kirk Degiorgio, Nicola Conte, A.D. Bourke, Henry Wu and Rick Willhite among many others.

Joe's crate-digging mentality has also been the driving force behind another crucial aspect of Far Out's work - unearthing forgotten masterpieces and once impossible to find records. This has led to reissues from the likes of Milton Nascimento and Roberto Quartin’s catalogue of lost gems, resulting in some of the finest Brazilian reissues you’re likely to find. While this remains a relatively small percentage of the label's output, every release is brought to you with the utmost love and care, ensuring painstaking perfection in the realms of sound, aesthetic and physicality.

Many of the artists on the Far Out roster regularly tour worldwide, playing across Europe, the USA and the Far East. Look out for them in your town, spreading the joy, the warmth and the restless creativity of Brazilian music and all that Far Out seeks to represent. “After more than twenty years of Far Out, we are only just beginning to realise our ambitions” surmises Joe. “We are still learning about production, recording and music, always.. and we are fortunate to be surrounded by the most exciting group of musicians and producers who are making consistently brilliant music. We are still intent on finding new stars, but we are immensely proud of what we have achieved so far and our formidable artist roster.”

Multi-instrumentalist, DJ, and composer Jean Dasso, known by his alias Yeahman & ORSSO, champions a unique form of artistic universality, seamlessly blending electronic and traditional music. Since 2017, he has performed across the Americas, Europe, and Africa.
Selected for the prestigious Inouïs du Printemps de Bourges, he represented the Occitanie region in 2021 before settling in Marseille later that year.
With a Mediterranean breeze carrying him back to his Corsican roots, Yeahman is currently working on an album inspired by his heritage : an innovative reinterpretation of tradition that stays true to his signature blend of authenticity and modernity.
His debut album Ostriconi, released in January 2021 on the U.S.-based label Wonderwheel Recordings, breathes life into traditional influences, bringing together contemporary musicians while weaving in his personal take on electronic music, marked by ethereal synths and driving basslines. Recognized by tastemakers like FIP and Radio Nova, his artistry has resonated far and wide. In spring 2022, Yeahman delivered an unforgettable session for Cercle, which also released his track Wadi Rum through their label. At the close of 2023, his collaborative EP with Aluminé Guerrero offered a deep exploration of South American sounds, leaving ample space for vocals to shine.
Yeahman first emerged in Toulouse, founding the Ghetto Sonido events in 2014. He has also made a mark as a programmer for festivals such as Rio Loco, Château Perché, La Cavale, and, most recently, the Marseille-based Folks festival, which saw a highly successful inaugural edition in 2024.
