New Type Records Site

Seven years ago John Xela and I started a label called Type .

To kick it off with the flat zero budget we had, we built a website more or less in a weekend.

Seven years later, that exact same website, bar a few alterations was still running, and John was understandably narked at my “I’m soooo busy” excuses about an update, so I sought to a appease him and build us a fancy new site.

I got a bit carried away and rebuild the entire thing from scratch in Ruby on Rails, and we now have a (purposefully not very) fancy new site.

Some nice things about it:

You can listen to all of our albums for free, streaming via Soundcloud from the site.

We’ve got new mixes and a monthly radio show planned. The first episode is up there now.

The forum now works like it should, and you can set up your own profile on the site.

The whole thing just feels a lot more 2009 and not so self-conscious.

Anyway - I’m pleased to finally have updated the site - it’s been a long time coming!
