Sound for the small hours.

The pressing
How the records are made
Everything we cut, and everything we will not.
Cut
Half-speed lacquers in London, then plated and pressed in the Czech Republic.
Weight
180 gram black vinyl as standard. Colour variants only when the artist asks for one.
Run size
Between 300 and 1,000 copies. We would rather sell out than pulp a warehouse.
Mastering
Separate masters for vinyl and digital. The loud one is not the good one.
Sleeves
Uncoated board, vegetable inks, and no shrink wrap on anything we make.
Splits
Fifty-fifty after costs, paid quarterly, with the spreadsheet attached.
The label
We press what we would play
Every release is a record we would drop ourselves at 2am. If it does not move the floor, it does not get a catalogue number.
The artists
First on every split
Artists keep the lion’s share and the masters. We are here to press it, push it, and get out of the way.
“The only label whose whole catalogue I buy on sight.”
Signing
From demo to shelf
Roughly nine months, and we tell you at every stage where it actually is.
01
Send it
Two tracks and no biography. We listen to everything that lands, in the order it arrives.
02
A room
If it moves us, you get studio time and a month with no deadline attached to it.
03
Cut it
Mastered for vinyl, test pressings to you, and nothing proceeds until you sign off.
04
Out
Six weeks of press, one launch night, and the catalogue keeps it in print.
