Hot take
Echo Base is an innovative vinyl manufacturing and distribution company based in Athens, Georgia that's changing the game for independent artists. Founded in 2022, they offer on-demand record pressing that functions similar to a Kickstarter campaign, allowing fans to purchase records before manufacturing. Their electric heating and cooling technology represents a fresh approach in an industry that has largely relied on traditional steam processes for decades. Echo Base's business model focuses on sustainability and accessibility, making vinyl production viable for indie artists by pressing smaller batches at lower costs. The company has worked with artists like Annie Leeth, Corey Smith, and Vision Video, and previously managed behind-the-scenes operations for Bandcamp's vinyl program.
