What Spoontech Records does

Spoontech Records is an independent music label founded in 2010 by Vazard and Delete, headquartered in Raalte, Netherlands, and operated through the legal entity Textiel Builders B.V. The label focuses on the Raw Hardstyle subgenre of electronic dance music and has built a back-catalog of more than 200 EPs over fifteen years, supplemented by anniversary and bundling releases such as the Decade Bundle and the 15-year "Jailbreak the Album."

The company's primary revenue mechanics are (i) digital and physical music release sales, (ii) direct-to-consumer merchandise via the SpoonShop e-commerce storefront, which carries approximately 60+ SKUs priced between €3.95 and €99.95, and (iii) festival-channel merchandise distribution at major hard dance events including Defqon.1, Intents, and Decibel. In 2024 the company expanded its footprint by launching two sublabels — SpoonTechno, oriented toward techno and experimental electronic music, and Emergence, oriented toward developing rising underground talent — moving from a single-genre imprint to a small multi-vertical label portfolio.

Spoontech Records serves individual hardstyle enthusiasts, festival attendees, and the self-identified "Spoontechnicians" fan community worldwide, with worldwide shipping on the SpoonShop storefront. The business is owner-operated with no external funding disclosed, and there is no indication of institutional customers, enterprise contracts, or third-party distribution arrangements beyond direct festival sales.
