Our Mission

Vinyl is a 150-year-old music format that in today’s streaming world is an increasingly essential revenue source for working musicians and labels. It is no secret that record sales are on the rise and are now the top physical format for fans to support their favourite artists and connect to the music they love. Vinyl is a living artifact that encourages thorough listening— it is an extension of the artists themselves, not only sonically, but visually through jacket art.

Our mission is to ensure that the music you entrust us with is pressed and printed with exceptional care, and delivered in a timely manner with fine quality and outstanding value.

TURN-KEY 7-INCH VINYL CLUBS

Along with pressing single LPs, we are also launching a turn-key 7-inch subscription club that will bring joy to your fans throughout the year. It can be offered as a perk to your Patreon supporters, a pop-up offering on Bandcamp Fridays, or enable independent labels to showcase their roster— either way, we will ensure that all donuts are delivered hot off the press quarterly.

If you are interested in having a bespoke 7-inch club of your own, contact us to learn more.

33.3 - GIVING BACK TO OUR ARTISTS

Liquor Donuts is dedicated to supporting and spotlighting musicians during these unprecedented times when they are unable to tour or perform live. Launched in August 2020, 33.3 is our volunteer project devoted to funding struggling artists and showcasing them on vinyl— beginning from Ontario and British Columbia and expanding to new regions. 33.3 is a triple album of 33 songs by 33 artists curated by 33 curators that also contribute to the liner notes. Each featured artist will receive $999 with further funds going to music organizations such as Dark Spark and SoundOn. For the same price as a live concert tickets— which have not been purchased since the first lock-down in 2020— music enthusiasts everywhere can pre-buy an exclusive 33.3 album from either region, along with snazzy merchandise. After hitting our goal of 1333 sold copies, we finally start our vinyl pressing process. Ontario is the first region expected to hit stores in Summer 2021. Please visit https://33dot3.ca to help us make a life-changing difference for a musician… and receive a limited triple album of fresh music while you’re at it.
