«Our Deepgrooves pressing plant is situated in an old prison which looks like a castle with a huge square in front of us. We do have a very transparent place so people can always visit us and are welcome to see a part of the process» - Chris Roorda, CEO of Deepgrooves Vinyl Pressing Plant.
«People often say that "vinyl is back", I always explain that it never went away.

We ought to be very thankful to these people for not giving up!» - Rad Klemczak, CEO of WMFono.
