The exhibition features key Brain Records (and associated label) releases, studio equipment, photography,
flyers, and oral history extracts, offering a comprehensive look at the label's impact. It also sheds light on the
close-knit, collaborative nature of the scene, where even those working from "bedroom studios" were deeply
connected with larger labels and influential producers.
Katherine Green of Rendezvous Projects states, in the mainstream narratives of jungle, and drum and bass,
the influence of Brain Records and its distinct sound is often overlooked. This exhibition seeks to correct that
imbalance by honouring and recognising these true pioneers and innovators who have played a crucial role
in shaping the UK music scene. Bizzy B and the crew around Brain Records contributions, particularly
through the innovative use of technology like the Commodore Amiga, have left an indelible mark on the
genre and deserve to be celebrated.
