📀 The Story of Gut Records 🎶
From a rejected single to international success…
When I'm Too Sexy by Right Said Fred couldn’t find a label, radio plugger Guy Holmes released it himself - and it became a global hit. That bold move led to the founding of Gut Records.
The label went on to sign artists like Space, Aswad, and many more - helping shape the sound of UK alternative and dance music through the late 90s and early 2000s.
Its dance imprint Gusto brought global hits like Out of Touch by Uniting Nations and Love Don’t Let Me Go by David Guetta vs The Egg to dancefloors worldwide.
In 2008, the Gut back catalogue became part of Phoenix Music International - where the legacy lives on.
