Welcome to Make Recordings - official launch mid 2009
You don’t care for the things we care for…. you do?
The music industry is desperately trying to find new ways of reinventing itself in the digital age. So why, if it appears the relevance of record labels is questionable, would we embark on such a venture?.......
Well what do we do then?
We are a beautiful cassette and download only record label.
There
We said it.
That’s what we are.
So why cassettes?
We love vinyl. Everybody does… and who wouldn’t?
There are many labels releasing great stuff on vinyl, and more and more labels becoming download only. The cassette is a piece of architecture: it’s built to last on the outside and delicate within.
It has a modified quality to it: hiss and warmth means character.
The artwork and packaging has so much more in the way of challenges to make amazing…
These reasons and more are why we love cassettes. The truth is, as this label unfolds we are learning more and more why we love cassettes.
Why do you?
Make Recordings was set up by like-minded songwriters and producers who share a passion for good music, great artwork and beautiful packaging. So Make Recordings was born..with the promise of something special, inexpensive and also free. We aim to offer great new music, make recordings which sound great and look beautiful…..music you want to keep, listen to, share and hug.
It’s very early days for the label, but these are exciting times. If you would like to introduce yourself early on, we’d love to hear from you. If you think you may be the type of artist we are looking for, then please email us. Alternatively you could leave us a comment with a link to your site.
bye for now.

Cassettes are great!I love them, have piles of them everywhere - and was/am daft enough to not always label them lol - but I agree, a great medium that could just become exotic again in the brave new digital age..
