"Punch Records was founded in the Perry Barr area of Birmingham in 1997 by Ammo Talwar MBE. The agency began as an Black music record store, and quickly became a major hub for artists and DJ culture, pioneering sales for vinyl and mixtapes of various genres such as UK Garage - tapes like Sun City, La cos Nostra and Harmony were very popular in the late 90s."

“Hip hop, house and jazz funk is on the timetable at a Perry Barr record store for teenagers on an innovative new course to give them life skills. Punch Records in Birchfield Road are putting on a series of DJ classes as part of the education project aiming to take young people out of the classroom. The ten-week scheme now being run by Underwood School in Erdington will help young people who spend more time out of school than in.”
