Kool Tone is a DIY record label based in the Northwest of England. We put out limited edition, hand finished, and individually numbered CDRs, tape compilations & vinyl. A label for music fans who still love to hold something in their hands, something collectable, special and tactile. We’re not exactly prolific and we don’t offer big recording contracts but we do love discovering new bands and artists and doing all we can to promote their music through our releases. For us it’s not about making money but about giving something back, and having a bit fun while doing it.
