Independent Record Pressing

About Us: Independent Record Pressing (IRP) was founded in 2015 in Bordentown, NJ by Dave Hansen (Exceleration Music) and Ben Swanson, Chris Swanson & Darius Van Arman (Secretly Group) along with Red Light Management. Founded with the vision to support and press records for independent labels, IRP began with six vintage Hamilton Presses made in the late 70s/early 80s. We have since partnered with Viryltech and currently operate a total of nine new presses, producing 140g-180g 12” records and 42g 7” records.
