Our Mission

HCR is building a family and a movement. We strive to create a label that embodies community, comradery, inclusion, and bold exploration. Everything we’re about goes back to safe spaces. We want to allow for talent gardening and growth for all generations, and collaboration with like-minded individuals and crews.

We cannot do community without all of you! As such, we look for opportunities to learn and share knowledge. We do not want to live on an island, operating in a bubble.

We also value analog and vinyl talent. We embrace new technologies that drive the House Music genre forward, while also respecting the roots and history of how we got here.
