You have probably noticed that we have not had an event this year.

That’s because we’ve been pursuing other endeavors and decided to give Atlanta Record Label Fest a rest so we can come back with a strong event for next year. We tossed around ideas for a better part of six months and decided that a year off was in the best interest until we can decide what the best format is for Label Fest. We’re fully committed to the independent record labels that operate here in the Southeast, and we are fully committed to exposing you to new music, new movements, and new people.

If you have any ideas or want to drop us a note, we’d love to hear from you at hello at atlrecordlabelfest dot com.

Some of our participating record labels have had a busy 2017:

Bear Kids Recordings released two great albums from Dot.s and Small Reactions and a comic book (Freight #1) so far.

FULL PLATE is about to release a new Dillon and Diamond D vinyl.

Deer Bear Wolf has gone to non-profit status in order to be able to give grants to artists here in Atlanta.

Madison Records has released new music from Chelsea S**g and The Head so far this year.

Psych Army has been busy with new releases from The Difference Machine and 10th Letter.

Working Class Music has been working hard this year with a new release by Ekundayo the Mountenliun x Spittzwell.

Underground Field Recordings founder Kth Wllm has released a stellar remix of fellow Atlantan Future’s song “Mask Off” and WakeATL has been doing some great events around town.

Fall Break Records released a new track by Attic Fowler with a full release coming soon.

Unique spaces like Mammal Gallery are essential to our scene.

HB 155 has passed and is now on its way to Governor Nathan Deal for his signature!

Thank you to everyone that called and wrote their legislators. This is a huge milestone for our music community and we look forward to the new opportunities.

A seven-year campaign to establish a tax incentive for Georgia's music industry is coming closer to reality.

The Georgia Music Investment Act is close to becoming a reality. Call your state senators and urge them to pass this bill!

The Georgia Senate vote should happen soon regarding the Georgia Music Investment Act, HB-155. Get on the phone and call your senator today. Georgia, we can do this together. Call now. Locate your senator here: http://bit.ly/2n3SchL

House Bill 155 (The Georgia Music Investment Act) is now in the Georgia Senate. Call or write your senator to urge them to support this bill.

The great news is our bill passed the Georgia House of Representatives 157 - 11. While we celebrate this milestone, it's now even more of a crunch time. The bill will go to the income tax subcommittee of the Senate Finance Committee (therefore, we're clearly not at the end of the road yet).

We love our metro Atlanta Record stores.

Let's make sure that we support our independent music venues.

Hey Everyone,
Mammal is starting a fundraising campaign today. Our entire neighborhood has recently been purchased by a developer and we want to make sure we can survive the transition into new ownership. We are optimistic that Mammal Gallery will remain a long-term fixture in South Downtown but we seriously can't do this alone. Any support is much appreciated even if it's just sharing this campaign. We love South Downtown dearly and will do anything in our power to continue building an arts district in the heart of our city.
Love,
Mammal

Vinyl pressing plant coming to Athens!

The rumor has swirled around town for months, and now it appears that it's true: Kindercore Records plans to open a vinyl-record pressing facility in Athens later this year.

We just emailed our Representative to ask them to support this bill. We ask that you do the same. This could really impact our music scene the same way the movie tax credit has impacted (and really created) our tv and film industry.

If there has ever been a moment to support and get involved in Georgia music, it's now. More on HB-155: http://bit.ly/2kyalVE
