HOW IT'S MADE

We remaster each song for optimal sound on precious metals and then cut it into a physical copper master using direct metal mastering.

We heat up recycled pure silver, gold, or platinum to 1000 degrees Celsius. The liquid metal flows into long sheets from which we punch circles and apply 5 proprietary steps to perfect them into blank records.

The blank records are then pressed with a stamper at 1,250 tons of pressure before adding the finishing touches: the b-side engraving, the label, and nano-coating to protect the record from weathering.
