The roots and riddims of Pickout can be traced back to Kingston, Jamaica in 1987, founded by producer Lloyd ‘Pickout’ Dennis to release his own reggae music. The evolution of Pickout has been quite astounding, now in its third decade (and counting) covering all kinds of reggae - chiefly dancehall, lover’s rock, roots reggae and dub

Lloyd’s ethos of staying true to the grassroots whilst keeping up with the sounds of the street has served him well, with multiple charting hits in Jamaica and the UK.

Pickout has released music by some of reggae’s most prolific artists such as Gregory Isaacs, Dennis Brown, Wayne Wonder, Ninjaman, Chaka Demus and Pliers, Capleton, Ken Booth and so many more.

From soundclash weapons to 2-tone ska, Pickout is as active as ever, storming in to 2021 hot off the release of the infectious Be Free Baby by Neville & Sugary Staple (The Specials).
