manufacturing & distribution

[acos1]

I am starting a digital label and against my better judgement am going to to release the 1st release on vinyl. I know it is not the smartest idea but it is a idea i have romanticized with for many years.
Seeing as this thread dates back to 2007 i was wondering if any of you guys are still releasing vinyl? If so who presses for you and who distributes? I have heard many good things about Curved Pressings.

Blast from the past!

Well, in the end I never bothered with the vinyl route due to the fact that I would have lost lots of money. But, on the positive side, I formed a digital label instead which is doing well (we've sold over 2000 tracks) and had lots of good advice from people on here to get it started (notably from RDR if memory serves).

I have been doing it since around the end of 2008 and you can see the fruits of my labour here : Elevation Music : Dance Music Forum, Magazine, Underground Music Portal :::

Back to the topic though, I honestly don't know what the vinyl scene is like now....I imagine it's shit. I still have my trusty 1210's (and I doubt I'll ever sell them) but I bought myself a set of CDJ1000's too. All the tracks I buy these days are in digital format and pretty much everyone I know buys digital (at least in the trance scene).

But, if you believe in it, I say go for it! It's only money and you can't take it with you (plus who knows, you may make profit!)
