Valve records

Valve is a Brisbane based conduit for releasing music from all quarters and directions. Valve works in conjunction with Consume that both manages artists (mainly Regurgitator & I Heart Hiroshima), promotes and administers tours (including Ratatat, Peaches, Mono, Trans Am, Shonen Knife, Kid606, JD Samson, Stereo Total and more…) and somehow or another raps this into one all consuming project.



Valve collaborates with local, national and international artists as it unfolds to varying degrees including physical and digital music release, management, touring and other areas of support and possible expertise. Valve works with MGM Distribution as located in Sydney.



Valve is transfixed by the weird collision of culture and commerce and how creativity and integrity negotiates a path through this quagmire to survive and flourish especially in these hyper-mediated times.



Valve is always open to ideas although at times subject to the continual passing and parameters of time and what this allows. Sending things sometimes get lost in the nooks and crannies but feel free to make contact as you rocket by…



I only know what I hear. And what I hear is good.
