1080p Turns 3
6.16.16 by Bobby Power

It’s hard to believe 1080p is only three years old. The Vancouver-based imprint, run by ex-music journalist and Rose Quartz honcho Richard MacFarlane, launched  in 2013 with relatively humble intentions to release music from all over the globe. Equipped with an open mind and an even more open ear, MacFarlane has since become one of the most fascinating and unique tape labels in operation today. Largely geared toward dance music with more than a few flirtations in auxiliary aural curiosities, 1080p rivals like-minded and established experimental beat imprints, such as Opal Tapes, Not Not Fun/100% Silk, Olde English Spelling Bee, and many more.

To celebrate the label’s third year, 1080p put up pay-what-you-want downloads of its entire catalog on Bandcamp. Join in the fun with a handful of our favorite highlights from the label’s discography below. Then grab up all the tapes you can handle!
