Record Label

Skint

British big beat, breaks, and house music label. Co-founded by Damian Harris. Initially known as being home to the nascent big beat scene leaders like Fatboy Slim, Freq Nasty, Midfield General, Lo-Fidelity Allstars and the Space Raiders, amongst many others. Later the label moved with times into breaks and house music, with artists including X-Press 2, Paolo Mojo, Kidda, Tim Deluxe and Sonny Wharton. Both "Skint" (label name) and "Brassic" (in the album cat#'s) are UK slang words meaning broke or penniless – the opposite to ex-sister label, Loaded Records. Over a nine-year period from 1999 to 2008, "Skint" were main shirt sponsor's on the Seagulls shirts and supported the club when it was down, but not quite out. Label code: LC 1406.
