A home for an independent label: new releases, where to listen, the story so far and a mailing list. Chunky type, marquees and a record you can play with.

What it is
A label's home, with a record you can play
The label needed one place for new releases, where to listen, its story and a mailing list, with the feel of the records themselves: dark, olive, loud type that keeps moving.
How it was made
From rounds of designs to a record that scratches
02 · Build
Static, fast, editable
Plain HTML written by a small Python builder, hosted on Cloudflare Pages. The label adds releases through a CMS, without me.
03 · The record
Scratch, flick, spin
The record keeps its own momentum: drag to scratch, flick to spin it up, pull back to play it in reverse. Try it:
