First Pressing: Ryan Borrett on celebrating underserved voices, creative friendships and musical collaboration with Rockton Records

In a share house full of likeminded, creative types, Rockton Records was founded with the intention of shining more light on the projects of friends and artists around them that often sit on the fringes of the mainstream.

Hiding on hard drives or in SoundCloud aliases, the idea was simple, more people might want to hear this music. 

Ryan Borrett, the brains behind Rockton Records, sits down with Mark Neal to chat about putting on the managerial hat to champion underserved voices and supporting creative friendships within the talented local music and arts community.

First Pressing is a new RTRFM podcast championing the visionaries behind WA record labels.
