Snail Records is a record company that has been established in March 2002. We are a small bunch of people that have a common love: the music that has it roots in the region where it is created, that preserved it’s original identity, that did not loose it’s authenticity by giving in to the enticement of commerce and mass consumption.
We also strive for a high quality production and have the means – a good ear, knowledge, experience, endurance and self criticism – to achieve this goal.
We support / promote High Resolution Audio & Vinyl as our main future platforms for delivery.
Snail Records is in itsnature interested to join partnerships with artists, producers & engineers around the globe to start working on musically and challenging artistic projects.
