What? Who? Why?

The Record Label

DimeRock Records Ltd. is a UK based record label and music production company founded in 2007 and have worked with some of the biggest names and companies in the industry. We  like to think we are somewhere between indie and major because we have the backing of some of the world’s largest labels and production studios, but, we work on a personal level with each of our artists and projects alike.

Indie V. Major

Today, big music can seem like the only game in town and many newcomers think the only way into the industry is “getting signed”, getting a “recording contract” or “record deal”. Musicians working locally cheerfully call themselves unsigned, unpublished, semi-pro, amateur, etc. rather than what they are. But these DIY and indie acts are the music industry every bit as much as the majors. Maybe more so. Although mainstream TV and radio is dominated by major label acts, a 2004 survey found over 4,500 live music events in the UK every day (1.7 million a year, MORI poll). Compare that with TV. The mass and diversity of local acts puts the handful of bland national icons in perspective. There’s a lot more happening outside the media bubble. But the influence of big business gets attention, and it’s easy to forget that what’s happening in music isn’t what’s happening on MTV, Radio One, or in the charts.

Who?

Setup by Callum James Greens to produce music at a respectable level, the label has grown beyond a bedroom idea and studio into a full on music production and management machine. In 2008 along with Larissa Dahlbeck and “Mysterious” Dale, the in-house DimeRock Records studio production team was formed and given the name ‘Calzo Houdini’.

As a team and seperately, they have written, produced, remixed and scored over a hundred tracks for top UK artists, movies, TV Channels, TV commercials and radio productions and now have their sights set on releasing a full length album of original material in the summer of 2010.

If you want to know more about us… just ask.

Why?

Simple. We like to find new talent, promote new talent, write music, produce music but most of all, we want to give you new music. There’s a lot of it out there and there’s a lot that still hasn’t been created. That’s up to you!… but we will help!
