Nervous Records

New York City-based label founded in 1991 by Mike Weiss and his father Sam Weiss (2). Mike had revived his father's Sam Records label in 1989 before he took Frankie Crocker's advice to start a label in his own identity. The label name came from hip-hop DJ Chuck Chillout who nicknamed Mike 'Captain Nervous' due to his wiry energy. The famous logo was designed by Marc Cozza.
