The discography is in four parts simply because of its size. While much research has gone into its making by many people, this is a working document and any additions or corrections from you would be most welcome and not be un-credited. Please get in touch.

Between 2003 and 2004, singles that would previously have been released on On-U Sound were issued via its subsidiary Sound Boy. However, due to another label already using the name, On-U's version was disbanded and single releases on On-U Sound have recommenced.
