Los Angeles County Welcomes New Vinyl Pressing Plant by US Techno Artist Drumcell

Drumcell, a prominent US techno artist, has exciting news for vinyl enthusiasts as he announces the opening of a new vinyl pressing plant in Los Angeles County. The state-of-the-art plant, named Onyx Record Press, is located in Arcadia and is set to commence vinyl pressing operations in August.

In a heartfelt statement, Drumcell revealed that the idea for Onyx Record Press has been a passion project he has been nurturing for several years. The prospect of holding his own music in vinyl format has brought him a sense of accomplishment that he wishes all artists could experience. With this goal in mind, Drumcell proudly unveiled Onyx Record Press and opened pre-orders immediately.

The vinyl manufacturing industry has faced challenges meeting the surging demand since the revival of vinyl records. In a 2021 investigation by Mixmag, reports revealed delays ranging from 20 weeks to an entire year, hitting smaller independent labels the hardest.

Onyx Record Press aims to alleviate these delays by prioritizing non-major labels and artists. Equipped with new state-of-the-art pressing machines, the plant promises a swift turnaround for vinyl production. Services offered include mastering, lacquering, plating, pressing, and printing, with options for global shipping or local pick-ups.

Drumcell’s team, boasting over 25 years of experience in the vinyl manufacturing industry, shares the belief that getting records pressed is a distinct and gratifying compliment for any artist. They envision the vinyl experience as the ultimate form of connecting with recorded music – feeling the weight of vinyl in one’s hands, hearing the needle translating grooves into music, and admiring the large artwork that accompanies the physical format.

With pre-orders already underway, Onyx Record Press is eagerly preparing to kickstart production in August. The new plant is set to become a significant addition to the vinyl industry, providing artists and music lovers alike with an unparalleled vinyl experience.
