"We don’t just talk about community—we actively create spaces for artists to thrive."

In this episode, we chat with Joe of Consonant Collective, an indie label and arts collective blending music, publishing, and DIY culture.

Presented by Echo Creative (echocreative.io)

Joe shares his journey from making zines to running a record label, how Consonant Collective evolved, and why community-driven creativity is at the heart of everything they do.

We dive deep into the role of zines in the music scene, the importance of physical media, and how Consonant Collective is pushing the boundaries of independent music and publishing.

Plus, we explore lathe-cut records, how indie labels can leverage zines for promotion, and why diversification is key to sustainability.
