About elasticStage

elasticStage is a UK-based music-tech company that has created the world's first on-demand vinyl and CD manufacturing platform.

Founded in 2016 by Steve Rhodes and Werner Freistaetter, the company is headquartered in London. With a team of approximately 33-35 employees, elasticStage has transformed the physical music industry by removing traditional barriers to vinyl production, such as high upfront costs and minimum order requirements. The company offers a range of services that empower independent artists and creators. Its on-demand manufacturing allows for the production of vinyl records and CDs as they are purchased, eliminating the need for inventory. Artists can upload their music and artwork through a user-friendly platform, and finished products are dispatched globally within 48 hours. elasticStage is committed to sustainability, utilizing eco-friendly materials and low-energy production methods. Artists retain up to 50% of royalties from sales, making it a profitable option for musicians of all sizes.
