Porter Records was born in 2005 out of a love for crate digging in the basements of record shops.  Porter’s founder, Luke Mosling, has a talent for finding the obscure, beautiful and strange recordings that may have previously gone unheard by a larger audience. This talent started the reissue portion of the Porter Records catalog.

. 

When doing reissues, Porter works hard at creating strong relationships with the original artists or their estates.  This allows Porter to respect not only the original vision of the artist and their recordings, but also to respect the vision the artist has for the future.  Porter’s goal is to make these reissues more widely known and recognized as important pieces of art within their respected genres.

Porter Records is more than a reissue label.  Porter has over 40 releases by modern composers and performers that bring something special to the current day music tapestry.  Each release is like a hidden jewel providing its own unique color and brilliance.  Porter Records is very proud to have such talented artists and a diverse catalog of genres in a time when the music industry is pumping out replica after replica.
