Why Collect Big Drum Records Vinyl?

Big Drum Records vinyl releases represent the pinnacle of UK garage music production and pressing quality. Since 1995, we've been committed to delivering the finest 2-step garage and underground UKG tracks on heavyweight vinyl that DJs and collectors can rely on. Every record we press is a limited edition, making each release a valuable addition to any serious UK garage vinyl collection.

Our vinyl is pressed on premium 180g heavyweight vinyl at trusted pressing plants, ensuring superior sound quality, durability, and playback performance. Whether you're a working DJ who needs records that can withstand heavy club use, or a collector building a comprehensive UK garage vinyl library, Big Drum Records releases deliver the quality you demand. The deep bass, crisp hi-hats, and intricate percussion that define UK garage music shine through on our carefully mastered and pressed vinyl.

Each Big Drum Records vinyl release features distinctive artwork that captures the energy and aesthetic of the UK garage scene. From our iconic skull logo to artist-specific designs, our record sleeves are as collectible as the music they contain. Many of our releases sell out quickly and become sought-after items in the secondary market, with collectors and DJs worldwide seeking out Big Drum Records pressings for their superior quality and authentic underground sound.

When you buy Big Drum Records vinyl, you're not just purchasing music – you're investing in a piece of UK garage history. Our releases document the evolution of the genre from its Bedfordshire roots to its current global influence. Artists like Tova Brown, Ray Hurley, Jeff Big Drum, and Chris Bass have all contributed to our catalog, creating timeless tracks that define the sound of modern UK garage. Limited pressing runs mean that once a release sells out, it's gone forever, making early purchases essential for serious collectors.
