welcome to
diski.studio
is a Malta based short run lathe cut vinyl record service servicing solo and independent artists and labels.Make your music available on vinyl, locally, with no minimum copies, postage costs and import taxes.Engage with your audience directly with a physical medium.
File Prep
Just like pressed vinyl records, lathe cut records require mastered files for vinyl cutting.Your files will be prepared for vinyl cutting (be it mastered or not) but mastered material is preferred.Please make sure you own the rights to the material submitted for cutting.Download the cutting specs pdf for more info.
Artwork
A blank white label is offered as standard (for hand written or stamps) in a poly-lined inner sleeve.Custom label art printing & jacket printing are possible. These take a bit longer as they are outsourced.And for those of you who would like to get your jackets individually screen printed please get in contact. I work directly with an experienced local studio (screengirlmerch) offering this service. I will also offer other options via this collaboration such as direct to vinyl prints and unique artwork.
Pricing
Pricing is dependant on various factors like duration of programme material, number of copies, vinyl colour, artwork and sleeve/jacket specs, vinyl size (7", 10", 12") etc.Single copies are also possible. Please keep in mind that a setup fee per project is always necessary.Subsequent copies of the same release will be charged at a lower rate. Please check the pricing chart for details.
Contact
If, like me, releasing on vinyl felt a bit unreachable you can now try it for yourself for a low entry/low risk scenario with as little as one side on one copy.Other material, like speeches or spoken word can of course be cut on a record as well.Email for more info.diski (at) sekwenza (dot) com
