It works better when you narrow it down to a genre. At least note them down in your list so that we know if it is worth seeking out.

here's a few imo:

wurlitzer jukebox - indie and a wee bit of electronica toward the end, mid to late nineties
saturn - sun ra's label already mentioned
congo natty - jungle, early nineties and still going strong
warp - until recently
clone - contemporary dutch electro label
brunswick - funky soul, disco
byg/actuel - psychedelia, free jazz, noise
cherry red - football songs, half man half biscuit-style indie
kosmische musik - """"legendary"""" kraut/psych label with loose timothy leary-connections

basic channel completely passed me by.

True Tiger
Prolific
Aftershock
Black Ops
Roll Deep (or whatever they release their tracks on)

There's a few more but I have a mental block right now
