E2 Music exists to provide new opportunities, networks and revenue streams for an eclectic catalogue of music from a diverse roster of creative composers and songwriters, supporting audience building and artistic development for artists in rapidly changing global, social and technological environments.

Edition stands at the forefront of progressive music, connecting visionary artists with listeners around the world.

Its catalogue bridges generations and geographies, spanning the UK, Europe, North America, and Japan featuring GRAMMY winners, Mercury Prize shortlisted albums, and some of the most influential voices in contemporary jazz and beyond.

Driven by trust, empathy and long-term collaboration, Edition puts artists at the centre. Artists such as Dave Holland, Chris Potter, Nils Petter Molvær, Sun-Mi Hong, Jasper Høiby, Gretchen Parlato, Joe Webb and Frida Touray embody the label’s commitment to originality, depth and storytelling.

Operating through two distinct imprints – Edition Records for contemporary jazz and improvisation, and E2 Music for emotionally rich, genre-defying sounds – the label pairs creative freedom with uncompromising detail. Guided by a belief in music’s enduring power, Edition continues to define what meaningful independent music can be.

Over the last decade, Edition Records has developed a sonic identity perfectly in step with the growing taste for a blend of creative and progressive Jazz, cutting-edge groove, synth-laden textures, cinematic nuance, and emotive classicism. E2 Music is part of the next stage in Edition’s evolutionary journey. It exists to provide new commercial opportunities, networks, and revenue streams for an eclectic catalogue of music from a diverse roster of creative composers’ and songwriters.

Edition continues to evolve and adapt to industry changes and to seek new creative ways to build audiences during the next decade.

Underpinning everything is the belief in the power of great new music to overcome all obstacles and the understanding that changes will always occur but it is the reaction to those changes that define the outcomes.

Both E2 and Edition Records maintain the conviction and passion to share new music with an open set of values and forward-thinking strategies, to constantly seek new opportunities and to become a dominant player in the global Jazz scene.
