Rubin Farr Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 The DIY vinyl scene is thankfully strong in UK at the moment. These are tiny labels that do tiny runs, but the love and care they put into their physical releases is unparalleled. Lots of unbleached recycled materials. Hand stamps, Sharpie graphics, silk screens, physical extras, it's a golden time for collectors , if you can get in on that run, usually less than 1000 copies. What are your favorite labels like this to support?

cwmbrancity Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Acts-wise i'd have to endorse Nurse With Wound and Andrew Liles. Some of their record releases are a joy for any record collector to behold and thats no analog/digi/vinyl/mp3 bs. The art work is incredible, often gatefolded, includes a myriad of prints and collectables and most of all the audio includes some of my favourite headfuck music from recent memory. They do v ltd runs, which is no bad thing, because it cajoles you as a music "supporter" to get your shit together and buy it. Twelfty/10 Also picking my way through some of the alternative Coil releases from abroad, while collecting art bits n bobs, sigils and micro-gifts that a lot of their releases included.

joshuatxuk Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 most tape labels (excluding burger recs and any major indie that puts out cassettes for the novelty $$$) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awepittance Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 PsychicSounds, Katabatik, Meds, Icasea are a few awesome labels that come to mind. I don't really count Boomkat label tbh (lol i always forget Brainwashed actually runs a label too) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soloman Tump Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Extreme Ultimate are also very good. Home of Necro Deathmort and other noisey synthy techno rock electro projects (?). They run a zine, all releases are limited cassette, CD or vinyl plus all supported by the band camp app / downloads. Big fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubin Farr Posted June 11, 2015 Author Share Posted June 11, 2015 I forgot I have a couple of Firecracker Recordings releases, incredibly detailed and some die cut packaging. They must take huge losses but bless em. https://firecrackerrecordings.bandcamp.com/merch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QBLA Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Sorry to self promote... but Bonding Tapes! The first release we did "Quality Time Vol. 1" isn't DIY, but the rest are. We print, score, cut and fold ourselves. We're planning on other approaches too... I would say that the recent release "Mothership Collective - All Nigga Radio" comes the closest to the DIY aesthetic. The case cover was a last minute addition.

cwmbrancity Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 whats with the dedication to tapes in this cultural context? affordability, archaic practice, &/or lo-rez sound clarity objectives? i dont get it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beerwolf Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 I'm not telling (engage secret squirrel mode). More people who know, then the lesser the chance I have of bagging one! Only 2 releases so far (the second was released a few days ago). The first vinyl release already has a second-hand asking price of £200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
