Igloo Records is a record label run by the not-for-profit association Sowarex in Brussels, Belgium that concentrates on jazz and world music. Igloo is the best-known of five imprints run by Sowarex. According to one of its founders,[1] the label was developed when the local scene was enhanced by the arrival of American jazzmen that included JR Montrose and Chet Baker.
Rainland released English-speaking projects by Klaus Klang, Tom Wolf, Owen Curtiz and others but folded in 1994.[2]
Franc'Amour, named after a now-defunct festival, focused on French-speaking song and promoted noted singers such as Maurane, Claude Semal, Marc Lelangue, and Walloon singer William Dunker.
Factice, created in 2013, showcased more contemporary Belgian French-speaking artists such as Mochélan, Karim Gharbi and Tomassenko.
The various activities are currently concentrated around the Igloo label. Together, the labels released almost 350 CDs over a period spanning 40 years. In 2019, the label's various activities were celebrated in a book, "Igloo Records en quarante mouvements", published by Arsenic2.
