About i2 Recordings

“I absolutely love the fact that Intimate Records: my longest established label – has a pretty specific ‘type.’ We only sign a certain kind of artist to the Intimate imprint. We only work with a particular type of producer: meaning that Intimate Records remains respectful of the dedicated audience it has built up over nearly three decades. I’d be inundated with phone calls and letters if Intimate were ever to release a ‘grime’ track. I am very much a guardian of the label’s proud heritage and would never do anything to alienate the consumers, DJ’s and retail outlets who are so incredibly passionate about this label” says Errol Michael Henry.

“i2 Recordings was designed to make it easier to engage with a much wider range of creative people and I am really enjoying the diversity and the new soundscapes I am experiencing.” – Errol Michael Henry

He continues: “The downside of course is that I have had to walk away from a lot of music that I personally liked, but it just wasn’t right for Intimate Records. I’ve been around a little while and I’ve gained invaluable experience about the inner workings of the music business. I recognised that I could utilise some of that experience to good effect by working with other people who are coming from a different musical place. I am also ever-increasingly involved in label partnerships where i2 Recordings joins forces with another label to work on shared projects.

Technology has made music-making an easier proposition; so more people are establishing their own labels. It may sound attractive (in theory), but the reality for most people is that managing a record company represents one of the most efficient means known to mankind for making a small fortune: out of what was once a large one! i2 Recordings is all about collaborations. I help other talented musicians to realize their creative objectives and provide an impenetrable shield from all of the ‘noise’ generated by the industry at times.

I have always been a keen advocate of strategic partnerships: i2 Recordings simply enables me to collaborate with a much wider range of people than was previously possible: I am really excited about its future and the music we are going to be releasing.”
