Tempa is a garage and dubstep music label founded in 2000[1][2] by Neil Jolliffe, who also coined the term Dubstep in 2002.[3][4]

The label, along with Big Apple, and parent label Ammunition, is considered key part of the formation of dubstep as a genre.

A key member and the face of Tempa Recordings is DJ and producer Youngsta, which has been in charge of artists and repertoire for the label since its inception.[5]

The labels biggest release is the seminal "Midnight Request Line" by Skream which was released in 2005.[6]
