4000 Records

4000 Records Independent artist-led label with a strong focus on collaborating with south east QLD creatives. Undefined by genre. Unbound by sound.

4000 Records began in the semi-industrial outskirts of Meanjin, in a small room perched in a battered high-set Queenslander overlooking a scrap metal yard and a brewery. One of its occupants, John Russell, has been an active supporter and enthusiast of the local scene since his days of all-ages shows at The Pineapple Club, running street teams and making mix tapes in a brave new world of CDs.

r spending much time as an advocate of the south east qld music community through organising shows, event series and tours, running labels and managing bands under various guises, 4000 Records was created to serve the artists of the local community. With an aim to foster creativity and provide a space for innovation and expression, the 4000 family is an inclusive and supportive unit. We’re honoured and humbled to work with some of our favourite musicians in an abundantly thriving scene whilst striving to be a conduit between those like-minded, independent artists and the teeming earholes of the masses and tastemakers alike.

We release music primarily in super small runs on our favourite format, the hardy cassette, as well as through modern digital services. Other initiatives:
Jazz in Meanjin
Brisbane Music Graveyard
House Keys (local cover song series)

Really excited to welcome Fictions to the label.

You might know Anthony as one of the guitarists in Soaphead (one of my very favourite local bands).

After quietly releasing his debut solo effort ‘Sensory’ in 2023, I’m very keen to share with you the new album ‘Only Children’ next month.

The release is atmospheric, conceptual, minimal, so quiet it’s heavy, one of those releases that rewards sitting down in concentration with.

It also features contributions from James Lees and Spirit Lights if you need even more of a reason to pay attention 🌻

Out on super limited cassette and launching at a very special new event series that were announcing on Oct 01 🐢🐌🦥

Congrats The Double Happiness!!!

I’ve been going around calling this one “janglegaze” which is either super ridiculous or incredibly apt. Regardless, this album is a joyous romp through nostalgic nods, insatiable hooks, far-out themes, and the quartet’s trademark vocal interplay.

You can get the album on gorgeous orangey/gold wax and CD and of course digitally.

Head to our bio link for or all your needs, including tickets to the album launch at the The Old Museum with The Keep On Dancin's on Sep 20 🏫🛰️
