Recession Recordings would like your help!


Recession Recordings is celebrating our one year anniversary on August 28, 2010.

Our operation costs are $75 per year. Our only employee and founder Brandon Starkweather pays all operating costs out of pocket.

On behalf of all of the artists at Recession Recordings, we would like to take a moment to ask for yor financial support so that we can continue another year with our efforts to promote underground and experimental electronic musicians.

We currently have more than a dozen full albums waiting to be released and we expect to grow from our current offering of 17 albums from 10 artists to more than 50 albums from 20 artists by the end of the year. But we need your help to make this happen. Our most pressing need is to raise $15 – that’s right – just $15 – by August 28 in order to renew our domain name.

Our goal is to raise at least $75 – this pays for all the fees associated with running the site for an entire year. This may seem like a paltry sum, but we strive to keep our operating costs as low as possible in order to make the site’s features accessable to artists and fans from every economic strata. Any money donated above and beyond $75 will allow us to release 12 albums within the next month. Additional funds may also be used to help our artists produce merchandise, print fliers, make physical copies of their releases, pay for traveling or touring expenses, or equipment rental or purchases.

We offer all releases as free downloads because our artists are in this for their own reasons – they are a crazy passionate group of people. Ideally Recession Recordings would like to make artist royalty payments.  If you are interested in donating but you want to be sure how your money will be applied, feel free to contact us.

We appreciate help that you can offer in any amount – donations as low as $1 will help us reach our modest goal.  We would like to offer something special for donors by making future releases available in advance, or by a personalized thank you audio track or video from our artists. Please let us know if you donate and are interested in a personal thank you.

Thank you again for all of your support over the last year. With luck, we will still be here next year.

Best Regards,

Brandon Starkweather, Jessica Leza, and all of the artists at Recession Recordings
