We are SUBTXT: a multi-genre UK record label for artists that want their music to question, interrogate and challenge as well as delight and entertain. Our motto is: dig deep, shout loud.
Based in Leeds UK, we consist of three directors (see below) in equally weighted roles, each bringing our own unique knowledge, expertise and experiences in the music industry. Whenever we get together, we can’t help talking it out for at least an hour. Its like our (free) group therapy session. That is how The SUBTXT Podcast came about. We discuss the trials and tribulations of starting and running a small, independent record label along with a myriad of topics reflecting the state of the music industry, the world at large and how we can all help make it a bit better.
While the podcast is free for everyone to listen to, we are supported by you the listener via our Patreon page (patreon.com/SUBTXT) so if you’re enjoying the podcast please give us the price of a cup of coffee or a cacào or a wanky turmeric latte once a month if you can.

F**k Social Media
Welcome to the very first episode of The SUBTXT Podcast! In this one we introduce ourselves, our record label, talk about why we’re doing this podcast and what it all means.
