Cloud 13 Records is a truly independent online record label that sells music
almost exclusively through digital retailers, our own on-demand
CD store, and artists' live performances. Every CD sold through
our on-demand store is made-to-order just for you when you place your
order. That means less plastic waste ends up in landfills from unsold
and returned CDs. It also means we can afford to put out music we love from
artists you may not have heard about yet without having to worry quite as much
about how many copies their CD sells the first week it hits the shelves. Yet
another revolutionary thing about us is that we like to
give music away. We always
offer at least a couple of completely DRM-free MP3 downloads from every release
in our catalog. Feel free to swap them with friends online, burn them to mix CDs, or
whatever. In return, all we ask is that you return the love: If you really like
something you hear, buy it from us and help spread the word.
