Starrcade Records

Starrcade Records is an American independent record label that operates primarily as an online storefront hosted on Big Cartel. It describes itself as an independent record label and sells limited-run physical releases — chiefly cassette tapes and vinyl — from a roster of underground, experimental, and internet-native artists. The label's catalog, as listed on its official store, includes titles such as Klarigon's "Decay (deluxe edition)," samlrc's "a lonely sinner" vinyl, sometimelastyear's "sometimes i'm scared… (definitive edition)," lil gatorade's "creepypasta," The Sleep Dealers & lua! trilogy's "The Lord Knows Deluxe," j1nabae's "Headaches 3 Year Anniversary Edition," salem's corydalis's "pink corydalis," What is Your Name?'s "Pillow," Grave Guy's "Scythe Box Set" and "Sludgebath," Cime's "Laurels of the End of History," NARKOSIS's "Cauldron of Woe," i fell in love on a roleplay server's "Fall Demo," Kaiju Soup's "Compilation," Vmrrobotic's "Fragments of Subconscious," Kid Trash's "#KIDTRASHETERNAL," and Switchsystems's "Last Stop 'Til Serenity." Prices on the store range from a few dollars for digital or single-cassette items to over one hundred dollars for premium vinyl bundles, and many items are marked "Sold out," indicating small pressing runs that sell through. The label's releases are characterized by deluxe and definitive editions, bonus tracks, colored and splattered tape variants, and box sets. A representative product page for Cime's "Laurels of the End of History" describes it as "a deluxe reissue of Cime's instant classic EP" with "four bonus tracks," pressed as "/10 black tapes w white splatter" — a run of only ten copies. This emphasis on tiny, collectible editions is central to the label's identity. Starrcade Records also carries import CDs, such as the "samlrc - A Lonely Sinner Plantasia Records Import Cds" listing, suggesting it acts as a distributor for allied labels as well as a label in its own right. Starrcade Records is based in the United States and sells internationally through mail order via its Big Cartel store. It is a private, independent operation; no parent company, corporate ownership, or stock listing is indicated in the available evidence. The label's public presence is built around its web store and direct customer contact, with product pages inviting inquiries by email. Its roster and aesthetic place it within the broader ecosystem of online-first, DIY underground music labels that emerged around internet music communities, where physical media functions as a collectible artifact for a niche audience. Because the label is small and operates largely through its own storefront, detailed corporate information — founding date, founder names, headquarters address, and formal business registration — is not established by the available sources. What is clear is its function: an independent American label and retailer issuing limited physical editions of underground music.

Starrcade Records is an American independent record label whose public identity is built around its online storefront on Big Cartel. The label presents itself simply as an independent record label and sells limited physical editions of underground and experimental music directly to listeners. Its catalog, as documented on its official store, spans cassette tapes, vinyl, CDs (including imports from allied labels such as Plantasia Records), box sets, and deluxe or definitive editions of prior releases. The label's approach is defined by small, collectible pressings. Product listings show runs as small as ten copies — for example, Cime's "Laurels of the End of History" is described as a deluxe reissue of the artist's EP with four bonus tracks, pressed as "/10 black tapes w white splatter." Many items on the store are marked "Sold out," reflecting both limited supply and demand from a niche collector audience. Prices range from a few dollars for single cassettes or digital items to over one hundred dollars for premium vinyl bundles, such as the samlrc "a lonely sinner" vinyl listing at $38.00–$110.00. The roster documented on the store includes Klarigon, samlrc, sometimelastyear, lil gatorade, The Sleep Dealers & lua! trilogy, j1nabae, salem's corydalis, What is Your Name?, Grave Guy, Cime, NARKOSIS, i fell in love on a roleplay server, Kaiju Soup, Vmrrobotic, Kid Trash, and Switchsystems. These names suggest a focus on internet-native, experimental, and genre-blurring artists rather than mainstream acts. The label also acts as a distributor for import CDs, as seen in the "samlrc - A Lonely Sinner Plantasia Records Import Cds" listing. Starrcade Records operates from the United States and sells internationally through mail order. It is a private, independent operation with no indicated parent company or corporate ownership. Customer contact is handled directly, with product pages inviting inquiries by email. Because the label is small and self-operated, detailed corporate history — founding date, founder names, and headquarters — is not established by the available sources. Its history is therefore best understood through its catalog and its role as a limited-edition physical media label within the online underground music scene.
