Around the same time, Gorgon City went to the top of the Dance Club Songs chart with 'Go All Night' featuring Jennifer Hudson on vocals and Rudimental entered the Pop Songs chat with 'Lay It All On Me'. "Playing in Central Park to a sold out audience was quite a moment for us.

Henry and Joe bring with them a rare talent for spotting exceptional acts. Sony UK's CEO Jason Iley said in a statement - “Black Butter is the most exciting label to have emerged in the last five years, so this is a real coup for us. Black Butter founders Henry Village and Joe Gossa became co-presidents and Nick Worthington was announced to head up the A&R team. In November 2014 it was announced that Black Butter Records had signed a new deal with Sony Music UK to become a standalone imprint under the major label. It was awarded 'Best Small Label' at the 2012 Association of Independent Music Awards, and has been described as a "hub" of the British electronic music scene. The label releases mostly singles, and has put out the first releases of artists including Clean Bandit, Rudimental, (both later signed with Warner) and Jessie Ware (later signed with Universal). It was intended initially as an outlet for musicians who were signed to their artist management company, Stackhouse Management, and as a reaction against other labels that were "genre specific". It was founded in 2010 by Olly Wood, Henry Village and Joe Gossa, with an investment of £5,000, and was named after a brand of condiments that had the same name.
