Welcome to 1k recordings!

Hello All...

I started this label almost 10 years ago, as a vehicle to release some of the vast archive of eclectic music that i was producing---various electronic projects, experimental, popsongs, downtempo, jazz, --- regardless of genre. As time went on and technologies changed it made more sense to me to continue using 1k as an artistic outlet and a place to house a singular body of work. The 1k catalogue is growing and we have lots of plans for new releases as well as reissues from our deep archive. 

Folks have found the site, it's trustworthiness, and it's quick service, so our list of 1k-heads has been growing. The focus here is on quality music, beautiful artwork and packaging, all with artist involvement.  it's still something we believe in!  

If it seems appropriate, i will make other independent label offerings here such as various records that i've played a major part in (ie: Sister Gertrude Morgan {ropeadope}, or friends of 1k and their releases. You'll also find various books, photobooks, and tshirts in the upcoming months, so check back often.

Distribution is primarily through the 1k Online Store, select record shops, exclusive online distributors {DGMLive, Burning Shed, Amazon, CDBABY}, digital downloads {other music, juno download, i-tunes, eMusic, rhapsody, and many more} and at live performances by the artists.

This site will continue to evolve with new musics, ongoing related news, performance informations, and various galleries dedicated to photography, art, videoclips, and, notes from the road {my personal blog from the road and life as a musician}…stay tuned.

Enjoy the 1k music player w/ released and unreleased music...you'll also find things like remixes that i've done recently {ie: radiohead, brazilian girls, baba zula/doublemoon records} we also plan on making much of our unreleased and bootleg concerts catalogue availabe at 320k downloads in the upcoming year in the 1k store. 

we'd love to hear from you!  Be sure to sign up on the 1k mailing list.

Thanks for stopping by! Enjoy the music!!
