Stereo Alley — 45 RPM · Indie Matchmakers
Two Artists.
One Record.
We press 45 RPM vinyl pairing two independent musicians — one song each — so both find new listeners and walk away with something physical to hand their fans.

The Idea
Indie matchmakers
for artists.
We press 45 RPM vinyl records with two different songs by two different artists. We are passionate about community and bringing people around the globe together on vinyl.
Artists get links and physical copies to sell to their fans — a record that introduces two catalogues to one another, and both to a whole new room of listeners.
Home to the next generation of independent music.
How The Match Works
Three grooves deep.
- 01
Artists Connect
Independent musicians become part of the Stereo Alley community.
- 02
Two Songs Become One Record
Two different artists are paired together on a 45 RPM record.
- 03
Share It With Your Fans
Artists receive physical copies and links they can use to introduce their music to new listeners.
The Record
A 7-inch
you can hold.
Every Stereo Alley release carries one song by each of two different independent artists — one per side. It plays at 45 RPM, ships in standard packaging, and exists as a collectible object rather than another link in a feed.
