The Label With a Platform
A record label built inside a media machine — with its own audience, its own stages, and a genre of its own: Jazz Bounce®.
A fusion of the soul and improvisation of jazz with the energy and movement of bounce — a hometown sound turned into a cultural engine.
From crime series and comic books to viral content and original releases, music drives every story Newtral Groundz tells. This isn't a label waiting on an algorithm; it's a media platform with its own audience putting its catalog to work.
The genre is named, cataloged, performed, and owned by the people it comes from — on record, on vinyl, and on stage at Jazz Bounce® Lounge and Jazz Bounce® Brunch.

The masked man of New Orleans — artist, producer, and creator of Jazz Bounce®. Drawing on the lineage of the city's masked showmen, Mikecol lets the work speak for itself: more than twenty releases, a vinyl catalog, sold-out residencies, and a genre with his name on the paperwork.
Mikecol is the label's sole signed artist. Every release, every show, and every story runs through the Newtral Groundz machine.
Jazz Bounce® is bigger than one artist. These partners perform, record, and build the movement alongside the label — on stage at the Lounge, on the catalog, and across the culture.
