Reboot Stereophonic is a non-profit record label dedicated to digging through the crates of the Jewish past and rescuing forgotten gems to tell new, unexpected stories. Sure the Lomaxes searched the South for a dying breed of Delta Blues Delta musicians. Sure Ry Cooder hit Havana in search of lost Cuban legends. But when's the last time a bunch of Jewish kids started raiding their grandparents' record collections and then set out to track down the musicians, in search of buried clues about their own culture?

Ultimately, we want these recordings to lead to the establishment of a living archive of tradition-bending Jewish music. Our goal is to amass and house a public collection of these incredible and oft-forgotten Jewish recordings so that they are available to fans and scholars, young and old, alike. The archive will not be meant to merely memorialize these stories and sounds, but to use them to generate new ones, to start dialogues across generations the way only music can.
