About Fika Recordings
Fika Recordings was set up in 2011 by Tom Ashton to put out music he wanted to hear. Fika Recordings attempts to be a transparent, ethical and nurturing place for our artists.
Our releases are broadly in the indiepop world, sometimes with a folkier/americana slant, sometimes leaning more into DIY punk.
We love a bit of dub, metal and jazz, but if you’re submitting a demo, please be slightly aware of what sort of thing we’re releasing first.
We cover as much or as little as is required by our artists, sometimes getting involved only once audio and artwork is completed, sometimes much earlier. We handle press, promotion and manufacture, we’ll assist in booking tours, connecting our artists with others and trying to uncover as many opportunities as we can.
We provide accounts to our artists twice a year, and generally work on a 50/50 profit share basis.
Please note. We don’t and won’t use AI music or artwork. If you’re pitching your band, or your business, with AI generated pitches, please don’t bother sending them to us. We can tell and we will block you.
Distribution
If you're looking to stock our releases, the best way is via our distributor, Cargo Records.
We’re on the hunt for an EU based friend to fulfil D2C orders from within the EU. If that might be of interest, please get in touch.
Download Codes
We no longer include download codes in our physical records, as the costs involved didn’t justify the low redemption rates. If you’re buying direct from us via Bandcamp, you’ll get a download code straight away. Picked up a copy of one of our releases at a gig or from a record shop? Drop us an email to downloads@fikarecordings.com with details and we’ll email back with a download code for you.
