Synchronized Swimming

$5

Nervous Records has been a mainstay in the music scene since 91' releasing hundreds of hit records for crate diggers around the globe.

House, Funk, Disco, Rare Groove, and Legendary Sound!

As one of the longest standing independent record labels in the US, Nervous Records has built its reputation through a willingness to take chances on new sounds and new producers. The label was famous almost immediately when it started back in 1991 because of its eye-catching, very distinctive cartoon character logo. Nervous’ first major dance release came in 1992, with “Feel Like Singing” by Sandy B. Nervous decided at that point to focus its energy on expanding the label’s musical field. The label’s first step outside the house music arena was with the Brooklyn, NY-based rap group, Black Moon, whose single “Who Got Da Props?” virtually put Brooklyn back on the map as a center of hip hop.
