Locognosis Records is a Detroit, Michigan based record label formed in 2004 by Detroit musician Jeff Howitt.

Beginnings
Originally a vehicle for Howitt to release his own project (Jeffery Scott-Odai), it, throughout it's first year grew to include other Detroit (and Detroit-area) acts such as the noise artists "Red China", experimentalists "Bored Housewives" and roots-rocker "Scotty Karate".

Expansion
In the years following it's inception, the label added notable acts such as "Wildcatting", "The Oscillating Fanclub", "The Jehovah's Witness Protection Program", and "John Sinclair And The Pinkeye Orchestra", not to mention Howitt's then-nascent band "Duende!".

In 2009, "Locognosis Productions" (it's original name) was replaced by "Locognosis Records"

The Present
Locognosis Records continues to act as a record label and production company; releasing LPs, CDs, MP3s and hosting small-scale concerts and multimedia events in and around Detroit.
