Some of tomorrow's best songs are being written today 🎶

That's why we were proud to support Anti Social Camp, one of the world's premier songwriting camps. This camp brings together talented songwriters, producers, and artists to collaborate, create, and push music forward.

To help celebrate the event, Disc Makers produced a custom vinyl release featuring tracks created by past Anti Social Camp participants. It was a small way for us to support the incredible creative community they've built and help preserve these songs in a format that lasts.

For more than 80 years, we've been helping musicians turn their music into something real. We're honored to play even a small role in supporting the next generation of songwriters and creators.

Keep writing. Keep creating. The world needs your songs 💿❤️

🎶 Happy Father’s Day from Disc Makers! 🎶

Today we’re celebrating all the rockstar dads out there... the ones who raised us on great music, jammed in garage bands, passed down vintage vinyl, or supported our first gigs and gear.

To the fathers, grandfathers, and father figures who inspire creativity and fuel dreams: thank you. Your love, rhythm, and wisdom echo through generations.

💙 Tag a musical dad who deserves a standing ovation this Father’s Day!

Would you rather have 100,000 streams or 100 real fans?

At first glance, that sounds like an easy question.

But after working with thousands of independent artists, our Director of Sales, Jeff Favalo, has seen firsthand that the artists building sustainable careers aren't always the ones with the biggest streaming numbers.

They're the ones building real relationships with their fans.

In this week's Indie Music Minute, Jeff breaks down the difference between listeners, fans, and superfans, and why your biggest opportunity may not be finding more people... but serving the people who already care about your music.

Today on Juneteenth, we celebrate freedom, creativity, resilience, and the immeasurable impact Black artists have had on music and culture ❤️🖤💚

From blues and jazz to gospel, funk, soul, rock & roll, hip hop, R&B, and beyond… modern music would not exist without the contributions and innovation of Black musicians.

Featured here are a few talented independent artists whose album covers were created in collaboration with our Design Studio. We're grateful for every opportunity to help artists turn their musical vision into something fans can see, hold, and connect with 💿

Happy Juneteenth from all of us at Disc Makers ✨

What are the people inside the vinyl industry seeing right now?

Tony van Veen recently attended the Making Vinyl conference, where 450 professionals from across the physical music business gathered to discuss what's happening in the industry.

Some of the biggest takeaways:

• Vinyl revenue has grown for 19 straight years
• CD sales are growing again
• Gen Z is embracing physical media
• Colored vinyl now accounts for the majority of records pressed

• Manufacturing costs are rising

The biggest takeaway? Physical media isn't just surviving. It's evolving.

If you're an independent artist thinking about vinyl or CDs, this is worth a watch.

After printing, assembly, and quality checks, each project gets shrink-wrapped and prepared for shipment to the artist who created it.
