From NTX Vinyl - GI Sanders, long-form podcast format to burn through some headphone time: 🤙🏼

“My full interview with Dustin Blocker, owner of Hand Drawn Pressing in the Dallas area. If you want to nerd out on how records are actually made, what it takes to open a pressing plant, and why COLOR has zero baring on the sound of a record….give this a watch. 🍿”

FULL EPISODE:

March 29, 2011 - Twelve years ago today; this is the title that started Hand Drawn Records, a solo album release by label founder Dustin Blocker under the pseudonym, W.A. Fite.

Humble beginnings of a self-recorded, minimally released disc, to creating an independent label. Fast-forward to 2014 when the label began switching gears towards vinyl, eventually opening our own pressing plant (Hand Drawn Pressing) with the world’s-first new record presses in +30 years landing at our facility on January 2, 2017.

Today, we press records around the clock for artists and other labels we couldn’t have dreamed of working for, or with, a few years ago. We thank everyone who has been on this crazy journey with us so far, and can’t wait to see what the next 12 years looks like! 🤙🏼
