Co-founded by Firehouse 12's founder and chief engineer Nick Lloyd and acclaimed cornetist/composer Taylor Ho Bynum, Firehouse 12 Records was created to "present creative music in its native environment."

"Xenogenesis Suite: A Tribute to Octavia Butler", a suite of music by Nicole Mitchell's Black Earth Ensemble, is slated for release April 29.

Later in 2008, Firehouse 12 Records will be putting out new music by acclaimed guitarist Mary Halvorson's trio.

The label also plans to release digital downloads from a selection of live performances recorded during the venue's on-going Jazz Series.
