midierror meets... Robert Luis - Tru Thoughts Records | Episode 13 Series 2

In this episode, we hear from Robert Luis - co-founder and A&R at Tru Thoughts Records. - running for 26 years and founded in Brighton alongside Paul Jonas in 1999. In that time they’ve put out over 260 records, signing the likes of Quantic, Bonobo, Flowdan, Hot 8 brass Band, Alice Russel, Moonchild, and many more, as well as being crowned Gilles Peterson ‘Label of The Year’ along the way. We discuss how Rob A&Rs the label, how they’ve evolved since they started, how they make money from sync licenses, and how the minefield of clearing samples has worked (or not) over the years. Rob’s Unfold Radio show has been running for 2 decades, showcasing the finest talent on the label, as well as dropping some of his own VIP Dubplates - well worth a listen. Look out for the Tru Thought 2026 compilation album coming soon! https://tru-thoughts.co.uk/ https://tru-thoughts.bandcamp.com/ https://www.robertluis.com/bio Recommended Episode: James Wiltshire of The Freemasons and F9 Audio - midierror meets Series 1 Episode 50 BONUS: Get 15% off ANY device in midierror’s Max4Live store using the code MIDIERRORSONICSTATE15 This is series 2, episode 9 and there are 50 previous episodes available now featuring Fatboy Slim, CJ Bolland, Andrew Huang, Tim Exile, High Contrast, Mylar Melodies, Infected Mushroom, DJ Rap, John Grant and many more.
