A to Z Media

We had the pleasure of partnering with Annapurna Interactive again for the launch of their latest hit game, Mixtape. We produced and sourced items for a custom influencer gift box built around the world of the game. The box includes a branded CD player and headphones that mirror the game's visual identity, alongside a ton of exclusive merch: a custom box, shirt, sticker pack, CD, poster, air freshener, and finger skateboard. Every piece was created to feel like a natural extension of the game itself. Check out this unboxing from Captain Loren. When you need to go beyond vinyl and CDs, A to Z brings your world to life. #CustomMerch #MixtapeGame #Unboxing

Read Rachel Cabitt's interview with Isha Dipika Walia up on The Art of Cover Art. See you at the newsletter's first in-person event at public records NYC on May 20 supported by A to Z Media. https://lnkd.in/ghpCuDS8

Excited to team up with The Art of Cover Art—a Substack dedicated to exploring the visual history of album covers throughout the decade—for a post all about one of our favorite recent projects. Fontaines D.C.'s Romance is a masterclass in cohesive album art. From the neon palette and Lulu Lin's illustration to Ash Willerton's typography carried over from Skinty Fia, every detail was considered. A to Z had the privilege of producing the vinyl packaging: the 12" jacket, inner sleeve, and insert. TAOCA's Rachel Cabitt sat down with XL art director Texas Maragh to break down how it all came together. It's a great read about the intersection of music, design, and print. 🔗 Read the full interview on The Art of Cover Art. Link in the comment below. We're also a proud sponsor of their upcoming event, Album Art as a Creative Practice, at Public Records in Brooklyn on May 20th. The event is sold out, but you can subscribe to The Art of Cover Art's Substack for more. 

Congratulations to Epitaph Records and Social Distortion on the release of Born To Kill — the band's first album in 15 years! We're proud to have helped bring it to life as a deluxe edition picture disc. Featuring the vibrant album artwork designed by frontman Mike Ness in collaboration with renowned artist Shepard Fairey, these discs are as visually striking as they are sonically charged. Two variants were pressed for this release: one with pink highlights, one with blue. Limited to a website-exclusive run, both quickly sold out during pre-order. Picture discs are a playable piece of art, ideal for deluxe editions, album anniversaries, and limited-run variants. They can be ordered as a standalone project or mixed in as a variant alongside your pressing, which is exactly what Social Distortion did here. Get in touch if you want to make a custom picture disc! #physicalmedia #vinylrecords #custommerch

Karen Emanuel, founder and CEO of Key Production Group, has just been awarded an OBE — an Order of the British Empire, one of the UK's highest civilian honors — for Services to Music. We couldn’t be more thrilled to celebrate her. Karen and our founder/CEO, Sarah Robertson, have shared a close friendship for over 30 years, and it’s been a privilege to watch all that Karen has built and championed along the way. From growing Key Production into one of the UK’s most respected physical music manufacturers to pushing hard on sustainability and innovation throughout her career, Karen has done the work year after year. Congratulations, Karen. Hugely deserved.

Proud moment for the A to Z team.
