Chasing the Dragon Recordings
United Kingdom
Chasing the Dragon is a British audiophile record label founded by Mike Valentine, specialising in direct-cut vinyl, binaural recordings, reel-to-reel tapes and high-resolution digital recordings.
The label is known for using purist recording techniques, often capturing live performances with minimal processing.
The unique value of Chasing the Dragon is that the recordings are made to expose what a system is doing. Direct-cut LPs, binaural recordings and tape releases are useful reference tools because they test space, dynamics, tonal colour and timing in a very direct way. For serious analogue systems, these recordings are valuable because they sound like recordings made by people who understand playback.
