11th October 2019 was the day that we took at trip to Hitchens, the destination Vinyl Presents, the Record Pressing plant.
I was joined by long time associate and friend Kev Decosta and label partner Tha 4Orce. On this occasion, we were accompanied by photographer Stuart Myers. Those that follow the site may remember him from earlier in the year. We worked on a project together. I was looking for a photographer that could document our journey making records.
I have this vision and idea of what I wanted to capture and Stuart demonstrated on our last trip out that he had the eye, the technical skills, the passion and desire for his craft that I was looking for. We were on the same page.
So 9:45 am we met at my home to embark on the day’s road trip. Ahead of us was a 2-hour drive

The 11th was the day we went to press the new release on King of the Beats Records. TR Love’s In Street Concentration. The task was the pressing of the LP than the assembly of the package. All the components for the record come from different suppliers. So instead of being printed at the plant in one place a lot of the items such as the Book, the press picture and 45 have been manufactured over the year in different places.
When we arrived we was met by Phil East, he has over 25 years of experience pressing records and today manages the plant. On this day he was personally pressing our LP. The first 3 hours of his day was spent mixing the color of the lp. We wanted something to match the cover and the autumn theme with the rusty orange leaves.
The plant its self is a relatively new site and the technology and machinery used to make the records is very new. The new machines designed by Vinyl Tech a Canadian company has changed the way records are pressed today. Faster with less scrap. Geared towards manufacturing for the independents. Labels like our selves.
We found our selves a table and set up shop to assemble the new release. What was interesting that I was able to video call TR and give him a live tour of the factory also showing him his LP being pressed.
At King of the beats, all of us involved have our fingers, input on every aspect of the project. For me as a kid it was a dream to make a record. 25 years later here we are making them, producing them, creating the artwork, distributing them and also manufacturing them ourselves.
What we do isn’t easy to think we started this label by doing an event called king of the beats saving the door money and putting into a label pressing 45s to what we are doing now.
Tha 4Orce
The purpose of bringing Stuart was to capture and document our journey so that when finally this label clicks and gets the notice and can be put on the platform it deserves there will be a body of work and visual documentation that is there to tell our story. Who was involved in how we accomplished our goals with next to nothing. This is a label built on passion experience and dedication. All those involved have a vision and using our skills work together so that we can present the best version of ourselves and the artists we represent.

We would like to thank Stuart Myers armed with a range of Cameras from Digital, Medium Format and a 35mm for his time and energy.
The old man with the goatee had also entered the outskirts of the forbidden area of the Magic Spring several times before.Chongri Shinichi and the others couldn t get into the eyes of the behemoth at all, obviously the Jiuli Sword Master was not at the same level as them.
Sure enough, within five minutes, the Iron Martial Crab behind him entered the attack range, and a series of water arrows launched a volley at the group of people.Only relying on Shao Nan s own strength, not to mention finding Yangmaiguo.
The red swordsmanship of the mortal world, the orange swordsmanship of the Qi refining stage, the yellow swordsmanship of the Foundation Establishment stage, the green swordsmanship of the Jindan stage, the cyan swordsmanship of the Nascent Soul stage, the blue swordsmanship of the Transformation stage, and the Void return stage purple swordsmanship.
And because of its particularity.Many people are discouraged.In this situation, we can fight.Xiaocao er was also a little embarrassed, and the situation seemed to be a bit uneasy.
Yes I guess those monks who didn t come today will regret it.Back Shao Nan gritted his teeth and said affirmatively.
In other words, only I can lie to you in the future.Shao Nan knew that Xiaocao er allowed himself to enter the mysterious space, which obviously meant that the answer was in the mysterious space, and it might be a new function that he didn t know about.
However, it is Shao Nan s consistent style to hurry up sooner rather than later.Moreover, Allen s character.It is more suitable for Shao Nan s next plan.
An Zhao As long as the real person opened his mouth, he would use a mocking tone, as if he disliked everyone.Otherwise, it will take at least a few months for Shao Nan to finish watching.
But at this time Shao Nan frowned.Xiao Cao er.What s going on here Why don t I feel anything Shao Nan asked Xiao Cao er while looking around.I didn t expect it to be really good stuff.Wannian Gengjing, an excellent refining material.
To be continued.Chapter 326 Underground River Gu Yueyou decided to set off at night to find Tuoba Jing, so Shao Nan had no choice but to give up the idea of finding the entrance to the growth environment of Yangmaiguo in the cave.For the past year, I have had your help.I see that you are stuck in the state of Qi Refining Dzogchen, and I will give you this pot of top quality spirit wine.
The strongest attack power, the article that can be done here is really too big.After the flames are ejected, each monk has one minute to spray the flames.
One after another, the fire control geniuses showed off their most proud fire attack power, and the test stone was lit up again and again, looking so hot.Brother Wen, hurry up and take us to buy it.You guys know how to look at shields, but no one gave me a drink.
If it is said that the rain of magma fell in the sky, then what Shao Nan jumped into was the sea of magma.There is a sense of oppression all around, Shao Nan must constantly use his true energy to resist the surrounding pressure.
When Shao Nan stood where Gu Yueyou was hiding at that time, he suddenly realized that he seemed to have overlooked another thing.It seems that the allure of the forbidden area of the Magic Spring is really not small.
If Shao Nan possesses these flying swords in the future, his strength will surely become even more powerful.At the position where two huge tree branches intertwined, Tuoba Jing was crouching here, constantly watching the movements of the surrounding Bibo Huanyue Clan.
But it is not that simple to practice illusion.Looking at those ordinary Bibo Huanyue Clan, Shao Nan heaved a sigh of relief.Unexpectedly, it was in Jinxingfang City.The question now is whether Lan Xitong is in Lingxiao Pavilion, or Lingxiao Pavilion knows the location of Lan Xitong.
He was completely shocked by Shao Nan s shocking sword just now.It s not easy.It seems that my subordinates are dead.
Although the distance is only three hundred feet, if it is placed on a flat road, Shao Nan can walk across it in a few minutes.No matter how fancy the fire control technique is, the ultimate goal is to kill the enemy.
Especially the monsters outside the forbidden area of the magic spring, which have been impregnated with magic energy for many years, can even be called monsters.Xie De looked at the black shop in front of him, and couldn t help but want to complain, how come it s so far away, fortunately Shao Nan let him come, otherwise, if he were Wu Yan, he probably wouldn t be able to catch up with the next plan.
Shao Nan was sitting in the speeding car.With a worried look, Xiaocao er said that although the Magic Spring Forbidden Land incident has finally become somewhat reliable, there are still too many unreliable cases.After being attacked by Shao Nan, Zhenjun Jinhong knew that it was two seventh level flying swords that hurt him.
Even if I starve to death, I would not be allowed to be a servant of those wealthy families. Liu Xianyang blurted out Then before your mother died, wasn t it Do you still have to swear an oath that you will never go to the Dragon Kiln as an apprentice The straw shoe boy s face was gloomy, and he did not refute, nor did he become angry after being exposed.
After picking up the seal in front of him, he was quite satisfied. After putting it in his sleeve, the young Taoist handed it to Chen Ping an along with the other two pieces of paper.For a moment, she was in trouble. This villa was not far from Qingxinyuan across the street, but the assassin was on the roof of the main building of Qingxinyuan, and Qingxinyuan was close to Fulu Street.
Otherwise, with Qingfeng City s family background and reputation, he would never dare to do this in the Lu family s house in a small town, and dare to condescend to the Lu family s children.After all, they had been neighbors for so many years. After filling Liu Xianyang s two buckets of water, he quickly brought her a bucket of water as well, hoping to leave this busy crowd of women as soon as possible.
And he was at the peak of his life. That time, I and he chased each other for seven to eight hundred miles.If Qi Jingchun knew what he was doing, he would watch the fire from the other side. If he dared to intervene, Lao Nu would dare to smash him into pieces.
The girl was looking after herself. He made some minor modifications Old man Yang, it s not simple. Chen Ping an didn t hear the difference between the two.At that time, you will feel that it is very meaningless to be angry with such a person.
Song Jixin opened his mouth, but in the end he didn t refute anything, and finally fell into deep thought.
Old Man Yang stood up unhurriedly, with one hand behind his back and the other holding a cigarette stick, he came to the girl, looked at the young man, and said hoarsely How many times have I told you, the less fortunate you are, the less fortunate you will be.After three times, the god man rose from the ground and turned into a bright beam of light and left the world.
Chen Pingan covered the child. He opened his mouth and said with a serious look on his face Loach gave it to you, your Gu Can.His parents both grew up in the town. His mother has a good relationship with me, and he looks average.
There is another mystery between the clothes. It turned out that the young man made himself a wood porcelain armor.He thought that it was a pity that he was such a good embryonic martial arts master. He died halfway. He suddenly woke up with a burning sensation, picked up the dull green bamboo stick, and shouted to the fellow warriors Come quickly, someone, anyone, as long as they are boys or girls, will If the Yue character made by your elders is flattened with your feet, I will be able to escape and will not be bound by this talisman.
Not only that, the streams in the upper reaches were like frightened soldiers who were defeated and did not dare to continue charging.The group left the courtyard. Finally, Chen Ping an stood outside the door, refusing to move for a long time, and Ning Yao came to him.
Well water drops, locust leaves fall off their branches, these are all omens. The scholar named Qi Jingchun reminded Zhao Yao, do you still remember the locust leaf I asked you to put away The young scholar nodded vigorously, Put it away together with the seal given by sir.The tall boy didn t even know the reason. If he had a cold temper, Zhigui next door had Worse than that, Liu Xianyang had the guts to be shameless.
What nonsense, scholar Even if you fart, you still have to make twists and turns. However, facing the young man, this man had to be a little more elegant, If I remember correctly, in the past three thousand years, no matter how big the flood has been in your town, this The highest water level of the creek has never been higher than the tip of the rusty sword.
Whose hands would these copper coins end up in Already Did it go into the personal pocket of His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Li Dynasty Chen Pingan sighed and stopped thinking about the problems that he couldn t figure out even if he broke his head.He leaned back, leaned gently on the back of the chair, and exhaled softly. If this was in the Chen family s house in Longwei County, if the elders found out about this lazy sitting posture, the children, regardless of the legitimate concubine, would all be punished, and the adults would be punished.
What Ning Yao saw in his eyes and sight was only the distant place of martial arts that was rarely visited by people, and the top of the swordsmanship with only a handful of people standing side by side.After all, he was afraid of someone being there at the time. The behind the scenes plan was to fear that someone would target the young master of Zhengyang Mountain who had been escorted here, so his life expectancy was only between three and five years.
The Confucian scholar held his back with one hand, made a fist with the other hand, put it on his abdomen, and said with a smile The martial arts of the military can only be broken quickly.You can also take advantage of the opportunity to buy it, but you can t bite off more than you can chew.
The messier it is, the easier it is to make mistakes. Once I make a mistake, I can clearly see where I am not like old man Yao.Fu Nanhua shook his head and smiled. Just as he was about to speak, he caught a glimpse of a dark shadow from the corner of his eye.
causing a big hole in the roof to be stepped on by the old ape. Chen Pingan felt that he had to take care of this mess, otherwise he would inevitably be exposed to the wind, sun, and rain in the future.The little girl walked to the gate and jumped around in the yard. She didn t leave the yard without authorization and make things difficult for her servants.
I ll send someone to the kiln affairs office later to find the Dali official named Wu Yuan and get the old and new copies of the mountain and river situation.Not to mention Dongbaopingzhou, there is only one in the whole world. Therefore, Yunxia Mountain has a transcendent status, and everyone is willing to respect it, especially It is a sect Taoist temple of the Danding Sect of Taoism, and has a deep relationship with Yunxia Mountain, which has been popular for thousands of years.
Song Jixin smiled and said That s good, I can still see you off, sir. The teacher hesitated for a moment, and finally said There is no need to see me off.Today What street did I go shopping with my maid, how much did I spend on what food and goods, which sage book was the content of the article recited in the morning, when did I drink secretly for the first time, who did I go to the small town with to fly kites to catch crickets, because What happened, who and where the dispute occurred, etc.
However, if you think that Yunxia Mountain is not worth mentioning, you are totally wrong. The Yungen stone produced in Yunxia Mountain is a real treasure of heaven and earth.
I think it s good for me to live here Gu Ruoyi turned around and put her hands on his chest.Before Huangfu Ling could react, Li Shaoting had already grabbed his shoulders, with scarlet eyes, punched him in the stomach one after another, and yelled violently Who told you to touch her Who Master Huangfu Two men in black, covering their wounds, shouted worriedly at the door.
Talking about their previous encounter. Brother, do you know that when I called her to ask her out, I was actually really excited that night and looking forward to seeing the girl I met at the airport again.Saw her accomplice. Soon, Bai Luocai saw Bai Luocai dragging the yellow haired man out, Here it is With that, Bai Luo handed the yellow haired man to her, the police officer.
He has already thought about the child s gender and name.Zhen Zhen said calmly Miss Lu, hurry up and change clothes Lu Qianxue gave a fake smile and went to the changing room without asking any more questions.
She originally wanted to go in and take the child out, but the guards at the door wouldn t let her in at all.Mommy, Daddy, you are out, are you going back The little guy came over, raised his beautiful smiling face, and asked him in a sweet voice.
Gu Ruoyi felt baffled, and a sense of irritation rose in her heart.Where is her now Gu Ruoyi asked anxiously. When I went to the ward, I didn t see Hua Zhiqing.
Ruoyi, a call from you Tony held the phone and walked towards Gu Ruoyi like a girl.They just did a comprehensive examination and found that Mrs.
Just now, he used some technology to adjust all the surveillance cameras in the hotel and see all the surveillance cameras in the hotel clearly.You still have the nerve to say that what you did left others a way out Huangfurui hated it when he thought that Li Shaoting was not dead and had taken Shan er s child away from him What do you mean Huangfu Ling frowned and asked in confusion.
For a moment, Mu Xinran became angry and opened her mouth, wanting to defend herself.Ating is already the father of the child, how could it be so young Although this boy is handsome, he is not as handsome as Ating when he was a child.
These people must be Li Shaoting s people Gu Ruoyi clenched her fist tightly, feeling very hateful in her heart I hate it I hate the ruthlessness of this man Li Shaoting No, I m going to find Li Shaoting now.Grandma, let me ask again, where did you hide the child After two consecutive days of interrogation, Ye Zixiu never found out the whereabouts of the child.
She rolled her eyes at him. Mu Xinran had just as many employees as he had as a boss.Before it was Shan er, now it s grandson. Isn t he watching from your Huangfu s house Li Shaoting sneered.
The man nodded, Love, I can give up my life to love her, or I can give up everything in my family to love her.She didn t know what happened in the past two years.
You were just a tool for me to take revenge on Ye Zixiu.Li Shaoting lowered his head and kissed Gu Ruoyi s lips, Mrs.
She is not willing to take into account that woman Ruoyi is now better than her in every aspect Li Shaoting, even if I die here today, I won t tell where she is Hahaha Since she can t get it, then they can t even think about being together Li Shaoting pursed his thin lips into a cold arc, and his eyes became sharper and crueler He didn t expect Lu Qianxue to be so tight lipped.
Boss When the bodyguard saw the boss, he quickly spoke respectfully.No one knew what he was thinking about now, nor did he.
Dad, please sit here. Xiao Min happily pulled Ye Zixiu to sit on the sofa.It was simply because she was in poor health, and then she took the opportunity to find a doctor to prove that she was poisoned.
Sometimes, she didn t even know what Ye Zixiu was obsessed with.It s all over. It s all over Mu Xinran comforted Xiao Min.
Hahaha, Master Jiu, don t be angry. Since Mr. Li is always your distinguished guest, I can only give Master Jiu some face.
Guo Bailu clasped his fists and smiled I ve seen Senior Ye. Ye Yunyun and Guo Bailu nodded in greeting, and then tapped Ye Xuanji with their two fingers.The key is It needs to consume the unique landscape aura of Qingjing Mountain, so in the past, the Tongye Sect s Patriarch Hall often rewarded meritorious immortals with a few Forgettable Pills.
Xu Yuanxia rolled her eyes and drank from a large bowl. She did not persuade Zhang Shanfeng to drink more. At the wine table, she urged others to be heroic.Mrs. Gui and Mrs. Rouyan walked hand in hand, talking quietly among women. Shao Yunyan found Liu Jinglong, and naturally got to know Liu Zhiqing, Xu Xingjiu and Lao Zhenren Huan Yun.
Chen Ping an suddenly remembered something. Could his founding disciple be in the golden body realm now So why is she so tall Chen Pingan was lying on the railing, his eyes narrowed with a smile, and the corners of his mouth were raised.This kind of robe is also known as a cool place and a summer resort. In particular, Qi practitioners who practice wood and water methods are as fond of the bamboo robes of Qingshen Mountain as the monks in the world pursue things that are just a few inches away.
The key here is that Zhigui is somewhat unwilling to let others get involved. I can t reason with her about Jidu Temple s thoughts, and of course her selfish motives for being angry with Mr.Not only did Zhongtu Temple fail to hold Da Li accountable, they simply followed suit. Chen Ping an Two words pop into my mind stick sticks and fishing.
There are three volumes in total, each with twelve people. They are known as the thirty six flower gods. They are all from the fairy family on the mountain and the dynasty at the foot of the mountain.Not to mention the small items, not even a small item could be accommodated. It s better to talk about the relationship. Among the children, only Nalan Yudou chose books.
Then he told the truth, My master goes crazy when he drinks. He cries whenever he sees a woman. It s so weird that I had two senior sisters in the past, but they were all scared away.Yang Huang agreed and said he would definitely go. Yesterday at the wine table, no matter how much Yang Huang drank, he still didn t mention that he had been to the Old Dragon City battlefield and almost lost his mind, just like Chen Pingan never mentioned that he came from the Great Wall of Sword Qi and almost couldn t return home.
Nowadays, the Confucian Temple of China strictly prohibits the monks from fighting on the mountain without permission.He blasted red lightning and raised purple smoke, which was very majestic. It is said that the Tongling Mountain near his hometown was refined by him.
Both sides deduced countless possibilities. Among them, one of the things Zhou Mi wanted was that the world would be turned upside down, everything would be dim, there would be no basis for yin and yang, and there would be no knowledge.Standing with Jiang Shangzhen, it was very strange. A perfect match. Chen Pingan put on his boots, stood up and said with a smile, It s against the law to brag.
The young man in white clothes put his hands on his hips and was about ten steps away from the door of the meditation room.Then, in the troubled times where heroes appeared in large numbers, they emerged from the sky and rose rapidly.
Whenever Lu Yong turned his head or was about to turn his head, the little girl immediately turned her head.Pei Qian glanced at the master, and Chen Pingan shook his head gently, indicating that she did not need to break up the fight.
He happened to encounter the Caiyi ferry that traveled across continents. Chen Pingan originally wanted to learn about the current situation by buying the Shanshui Di newspaper on the boat.Is that true It s almost the truth. Jiang Shangzhen nodded and said If Taiping Mountain and Tianque Peak are not included, and replaced by the other two mountains, it can only be regarded as an ordinary seven appearing and two hiding, even if it is made up of the Beidou Nine Stars The overall structure of the law, sky, elephant and earth is still a little bit worse.
Zhu Lian smiled and nodded, The biggest thing is that the young master returns to the mountain. No matter whether we are busy or not, the young master is not at home, so we are all busy in vain.Who is it that can actually allow the Patriarch of the Temple to go out to greet him in person A world of Qing Ming can hold up the number of hands.
Grandpa hoped that he could see his young benefactor again in his lifetime. Besides, Grandpa actually has nothing difficult to let go of.Whether it s a talisman or a seal, it s ten years or twenty years. Before I leave Huanghua Temple tonight, I can help you with copying and writing.
The completed cloud racket looks like an old object that was circulated in the palace. She looked at the middle aged man wearing a bamboo hat and said with a smile My master, who is the steward of Caiyi Ship, asked me to bring this thing to the immortal master.It is best to go out at noon. Lu Ying always stood there and was confused. He mistakenly thought it was a Taoist practice on the mountain.
The old general has passed away, so he will not have much regret. In fact, for a landscape god who has spent many years and opened a mansion, he has long been used to seeing life and death in the world.He said he would play a game of chess, and then pulled him and placed it on the chessboard. The gentleman was incomparable, twisting the pieces, moving smoothly, and finally placed twelve pieces on the chessboard, four without worries, and Zhongtianyuan.
There are few exceptions. Ye Yunyun didn t think that a pure martial artist with enough level would make fun of the outcome with Cao Ci Wenquan.Wei Shanjun of Qingfeng with two sleeves, he took a few small gifts and went out at night to have a banquet.
Anyway, Luopo Mountain is not a storyteller telling stories under the overpass. It has to be people Every once in a while, you will be surprised.Firstly, Jiang Shangzhen really needs to retreat to recuperate. Moreover, just like Jiang Shangzhen laughed at himself for being the leader for three years, he is disgusted with dogs.
Pei Qian snorted. The mountain road of more than a hundred miles is actually not worth mentioning to Chen Pingan and his party.Chen Ping an couldn t help but said Now even if you add me and Jiang Shangzhen, the chance of winning against Pei Min is still very small.
The girl took the wooden box with both hands. After she thanked her, Chen Pingan hesitated for a moment and asked with a smile How is the scenery of Shujian Lake Zhou Caizhen said with a blessing, Mr.This is a distant echo of the phrase A thousand year old darkroom becomes bright with just one light , and also creates the idea of Although the light is extinguished, the lamp remains A magic hand.
After someone offered a sword sacrifice at Taiping Mountain in Tongyezhou, Lu Zhi stood up and walked out of the hut, squinting and looking to the southeast.He can really grit his teeth and stay up until midnight, then come to his door and throw rocks at the windows.
As for the inscription at the mountain gate of the academy, there are no restrictions. Whether or not a stone tablet should be erected at the mountain gate, as well as the content of the inscription, all depend on the preferences of the previous academy chiefs.It was suddenly thrown to the ground, and instantly shattered and scattered. In an instant, heavy rain began to pour down again, and the rain curtain of Tiangong Temple remained unchanged.
It is really like someone holding a candle while walking at night. The brightness of a candle , the loudness of the greetings all depends on the eyesight and ears of the monks in the fifth realm.The pure young man is young, but thanks to the fragrance at the top of Qingshen Mountain, as well as his own unique talents, he has learned a lot, and has a reputation for the purity of his skills.
