Echoholics Records

Independent Music, Real Stories.

We are more than a record label. We’re a movement built by artists, for artists — and for the fans who believe in real music.

Our Story

Born out of late-night sessions and an endless drive to create, Echoholics Records was founded by three long-time collaborators — DaButters, Epyk, and MV — in Northeast Indiana.

What started as friends experimenting with beats and recording setups quickly grew into a collective, and from there, into a full-fledged label and studio. Today, Echoholics is a home for independent artists, producers, and engineers to not only create their best work but also connect with fans in authentic ways.

We believe music isn’t just about sound — it’s about storytelling, community, and moments that last a lifetime.

Our Mission

At Echoholics Records, our mission is simple:

  • Give creators the space, tools, and support to thrive.
  • Deliver music and experiences that inspire fans worldwide.
  • Build a community where creativity echoes far beyond the studio walls.


Whether it’s producing a record, releasing a single, or crafting merch that carries the culture, we’re committed to keeping artistry at the center of everything we do.
