12″ EP Vinyl Cutting (Bespoke One-Off Cut)
Our 12″ EP vinyl cutting service is tailored for one-off, bespoke cuts, ideal for DJs, producers, and collectors looking to bring their music to life on a physical format.
Each record is cut in real-time using our fully calibrated “Pinked” T560 cutting head, onto premium 2mm black vinyl blanks chosen for their low surface noise and consistent playback. The result is a clean, detailed cut with a finish that sits very close to traditional vinyl, while retaining the character of a hand-cut record.
We use classic black records for all EP cuts, allowing the groove spacing between tracks to remain clearly visible — perfect for DJs who rely on visual cueing and quick track identification during playback.
The Process
Ordering your bespoke cut is simple and flexible, giving you control over how your music is presented on vinyl.
Start by selecting your 12″ EP format, then choose how your tracks are arranged across the record, whether that’s a 3-track layout or a 4-track configuration (typically 2 tracks per side).
You can then choose your preferred centre label finish:
- No centre label for a clean, minimal dubplate look
- White label for a classic white-label aesthetic
- House label featuring Compound Dubz artwork
- Custom printed labels using your own artwork
Once your options are selected, add to basket, complete checkout, and send over your audio.
Your audio is then optimised for vinyl and put through our test-cut and quality-checking process before the final record is cut, checked and carefully packaged, ready for shipping.
Audio & Format Guidance
Cuts are available at 33 or 45 RPM, depending on your preference and track layout.
For optimal results, we recommend keeping runtimes to around 12 minutes per side. Extended runtimes of up to approximately 16 minutes per side may be possible depending on the audio material and track configuration.
Keeping runtimes sensible allows us to maintain a stronger cutting level, tighter low-end response and clear groove definition.
If you’re unsure about layout, runtime or the best way to arrange your tracks, we’re always happy to advise before cutting to help you get the best possible result from your record.
