As Glastonbury kicks off, it’s a moment to celebrate the music community in full force - artists, labels, fans... and everyone in between.
Physical formats are rising, powered in part by the momentum of live music and the dedication of those behind the scenes.

One of our greatest pleasures is working with @bloodrecs.bsky.social. They have truly redefined what vinyl can be. Pressing stunning limited records for artists like (the current UK no.1) Sam Fender, Fontaines D.C., and Inhaler, they always push the format to its limits.

We're lucky to have one of the best in-house design studios in the business: Modo Design. Based in Brighton they have worked on some killer projects where they let all our creativity flow. From boxsets that function as art pieces, to playful pop-up gatefolds.

When we saw that #CoversForLovers was trending, we got carried away and thought it meant physical record covers. Naturally, our minds went straight to beautifully crafted and memorable sleeves, gatefold jackets, and deluxe packaging.
