Trevor Jackson has announced the launch of two new labels.
The first a symbolic home for his wealth of unreleased archive recordings called Pre-. Destined to close next year after its final release, it will be followed by an innovative new creative platform titled Post-, focusing entirely on new material presented and released in a uniquely forward-thinking, yet radically traditional way. Distracted by a decade running his label Output Recordings, its subsequent self destruction and his own disillusionment with the music industry at the time, plus a parallel successful art and design career, many of his recordings remained untouched for years.
Jackson states, “I strive to be forward thinking and progressive with my musical selections in my DJ sets and NTS radio show, and long to be at a stage in my career where any own musical output is coherent with my current musical tastes. That’s very difficult to achieve with decades of unreleased music still a major part of my life.
Part of me regrets not releasing these recordings much sooner, but for a long while I’d lost confidence and perspective in what I’d been doing. Finally releasing all this music is a huge weight of my shoulders; I’m enthralled at the thought of being able to make brand new music again without any expectations, or restrictions.”
The coming months will see a series of diverse limited edition album and E.P releases all created or produced by Jackson.
