First Pressing: Tone City Records on their first year as a label and nurturing the next generation of music makers
Sam Ford is a Perth based musician and producer who has worked with some of the biggest names in WA music – from Abbe May to POND, Romeo Walker and the Psychedelic Porn Crumpets.
He’s also the brains behind Tone City Records, a local label with a passion for supporting and nurturing the next generation of music makers and putting WA on the national and international map.
Grown out of a love for the local community, the label was founded on an ethos of working across genre, sounds and nurturing the next generation of multi-talented artists.
Mark Neal sits down with Sam to chat about his first year running a record label, his musical origins and the importance of community within the music industry.
First Pressing is a new RTRFM podcast championing the visionaries behind WA record labels.
Join Mark Neal each fortnight for a deep dive into Perth’s independent music scene and the people that nurture the community.
