A1 / In the crates
Press catalogue
Sorted like a record store bin. Flip forward, pull a sleeve, and spin it on the house deck.
Night Shift Radio
Cut hot, pressed quiet. A late night jazz trio with a soft limiter and no hurry.
Blue Hour Standards
Old tunes, new room. A quartet record in smoke blue wax that looks like dusk held up to a lamp.
Static Youth
Four short punk blasts on bone white. Dust sleeve included because we care.
Honey Room Sessions
Soul vocals tracked live to tape, then pressed on honey gold so the package matches the room.
Field Recordings Vol. 2
Rain on a tin roof, a ferry horn, one fridge. Side B is etched, not grooved, because why not.

A2 / How a record happens
The press cycle
Four stations, one line. The biscuit goes in warm and comes out as something you can play forever.

01Biscuit
A PVC puck lands on the pad, warm and ready for its faces.

Centre labels are baked dry, then set on the stampers. Yours or ours.
A side and B side -
03Press
Steam, squeeze, cool. The groove becomes the record.

Flash trimmed, edge checked, then the first ones get played on the house deck.

B1 / Inside the plant
Steam, ink, patience
Short runs, long ears
We keep the line slow enough to hear problems. Every test pressing gets played on the house deck before we call a run finished.
If something is off, we say so early. Better a delayed ship date than a stack of warped stock you have to eat.

Vinyl Pressing Plant
Learned the presses from a night shift engineer who still writes cut notes on index cards. Now runs the floor and the listening room.

Wax shots
Steam fog, stacks of sleeves, and that one label that always peels wrong on Fridays.

Got a master ready?
Send WAVs and a rough sleeve idea. We will come back with a real number, a realistic date, and maybe a couple of pressing notes.
