Partisan Records

Partisan Records is an independent record label based in New York City. Founded in 2007 by Tim Putnam and Ian Wheeler, the company began its journey operating out of Putnam's apartment in South Brooklyn before relocating to its current Williamsburg office in 2009. The label boasts a staff of 39 employees and generates an annual revenue of $6.4 million. Partisan Records has built a reputation for releasing music across diverse genres, prioritizing an artist-friendly approach. The label's catalog features notable artists like Holy Sons, Deer Tick, Bombino, Fontaines D.C., Laura Marling, and IDLES. Their success is marked by multiple Grammy nominations and a number-one UK album. A key aspect of Partisan Records' history involves a strategic partnership with Knitting Factory Entertainment, which led to the reissuing of the Fela Kuti catalogue and the revival of Knitting Factory Records. This collaboration further solidified Partisan's commitment to championing impactful musical talent. Partisan Records can be reached through its website at partisanrecords.com.
