BREAKING RECORDS

Citizen Soundcheck is a pre-sale program developed to support your release from concept to delivery—your album doesn’t even need to be finished to kickstart a campaign.

And these aren’t just any limited-edition records—Soundcheck vinyl can be embedded with vinylkey® NFC technology, ensuring authenticity AND unlocking exclusive content like behind-the-scenes footage, unreleased tracks & more.

Check out the benefits of rolling with Citizen Soundcheck. ↓

HOW SOUNDCHECK WORKS

No-Down Side

For qualifying projects, no cash is needed to start your campaign—it’s paid for by pre-orders. Our costs are built in to the sale price of the vinyl (15%).

Your Fans, Your Data

All customer sales data is owned by the artist. We give you the keys to the car, so take your fans along for the ride to release.

Riding the Groove

Pre-sales set the tempo. Artwork not ready? We’ll start with a teaser (make your art reveal a marketing beat!). Need mastering? We do that, too.

Seamless Shopping

We handle the online shopping experience from campaign to customer support. After pressing, we pack & deliver from our warehouse to fan’s hands.

Chart Climbing

Soundcheck aggregates pre-sale orders and reports them to industry charts upon release so campaigns have a major impact on Billboard rankings.

Limited, Unlimited

We love making records, and making records collectible. Weird colored Vinyl? Check. Digital Authentication? MAJOR Check. Audiophile Quality? Yup. CD’s & Cassettes? You’d better believe that’s a check.

As our facility grows, our ability to make truly special pressings follows. With our in-house studio we can handle every step from tape to lacquer. Our next endeavor? Live show tracking to mass production in a hop, skip and a press. Stay tuned!
