custom HAND-CUT records

Every record is unique! Our records are cut individually, by hand in real time. We use 80s Japanese lathes (Atom A-101, Vanrock E-101) and pre-stereo Presto lathes (K8, R13A); All digital audio is summed to mono during cutting/embossing to produce a characteristically warm sound. We cut with diamond and emboss with sapphire styli on a variety of materials including PETG, Polycarbonate and PVC.

quality and durability

Lathe cut records are of similar durability to a pressed record and despite the myth, do not degrade after multiple playthroughs. They track comparably to pressed records on properly maintained, weighted turntables, will not wear your stylus and with proper care and cleaning can be enjoyed for years as with a pressed record.
