You've Reached the Half Year Mark of 2025!
Half Year Mark – Rest, Refresh, Ready
We're officially halfway through the year — can you believe it? Somewhere between December 31st and January 1st lies this unassuming mid-point... and while it may not be a real holiday, it is a great time to hit the reset button.
Presented by LANDR (http://otherrecordlabels.com/landr)
In this episode, we’re talking about the 3 R’s of running a record label at the halfway mark: Rest, Refresh, and Ready.
🛌 Rest – Are you building breaks into your label's schedule? We talk about the importance of downtime (and how one label takes half the year off).
🧼 Refresh – Use the slower summer months to clean house: rebrand, review your website, or tackle overdue admin.
🎯 Ready – How to use this time to gear up for your next release cycle or big fall plans.
Oh, and it’s also time for our Half Year Sale over at The Record Label Academy — check out the link in the description or visit otherrecordlabels.com/store to learn more!

Lathes - (For the Love of Vinyl) - Episode 06
In this episode, I sit down with Tasha Trigger of Lathe to the Grave — a UK-based company making handmade lathe cut vinyl records.
Presented by A to Z Media (http://atozmedia.com)
We break down what lathe cuts are, how they’re made, and why they’re a smart option for indie artists and small labels who want limited-edition records without the cost or risk of traditional pressing.
Tasha shares her passion for the craft, her thoughts on pricing and sound quality, and some of the more eccentric projects she’s cut.
We also talk about packaging, small-run merch strategies, and why lathe cuts are more than just music — they’re collectibles.

Silberhall Records - (Record Label Interview)
“To me, the visuals are just as important as the music. It’s 50/50.”

Presented by LANDR: http://otherrecordlabels.com/landr
In this episode, presented by LANDR, Anton shares how the label came together, why he values visual design as much as music, and the lessons learned from launching a label while still in school.

How Will AI Change the Music Industry?
In this episode, I cautiously wade into the rapidly evolving world of AI and its growing presence in music.
I’ve been hesitant to record this — not because the conversation isn’t important, but because AI is changing so quickly, and I don’t want to make predictions I’ll regret. Still, it’s time we talk about it.
Presented by LANDR - http://otherrecordlabels.com/landr
This isn’t a rant or a warning — it’s an open, honest reflection. I talk about the human tendency to rebel against convenience, why handmade art still matters, and how irrationality might just be our greatest strength in the age of artificial intelligence.
