THE CINOCI RECORDS TEAM
Cinoci Records was founded by Ben Tatlow. Ben has been involved with music from an early age, learning to play the piano from the age of five and drums from ten. Composition has been an important factor in his life, winning various prestigious awards with experimental electronic scores. He produces beat-oriented electronica under the guise of eQo. Having spent much time developing websites since the advent of the internet, Ben decided to move into the online music industry, launching Cinoci Records in the autumn of 2005. He is currently studying Music at the University of Nottingham in the UK while running Cinoci Records in his spare time! Contact Ben here.

He has always had an interest in music and the sleeveart, favourite artists being R.E.M., The Beatles, Morrissey, David Bowie and The Divine Comedy.
"With artwork relating to music, whether it be a poster or a painting, I like the pieces I produce to reflect the music, almost as if it's an extension ofthe music."

Cinoci Records is a showcase of up-and-coming music, all available for nothing. That's right, zilch. Our artists know that in the current musical climate it is nigh on impossible to make money, let alone a living, from writing music. And that's where Cinoci Records comes in. We give artists the chance to sign an album to us, we publicise it through various channels, and best of all it doesn't cost them anything either.
The main appeal, however, is you, the listeners. In order to download an album, you fill in your email address plus two of your friends'. The respective artist will receive your email address, so to contact you in the event of a future release. Your two friends will receive a friendly invitation to download the tracks you just have. Naturally, their addresses are not given to the artist until they download the music themselves.
Our aim is to give artists the chance of getting their music out there, and to give listeners great legitimate music which will in turn benefit the artists themselves. All our music is released under the Creative Commons copyright license Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 2.5.
Thank you for supporting the future of the music industry!

2. If at any point you want us to remove your music from our site we will do so, no questions asked.
3. Your music will appear on this site, last.fm, facebook.com, and various other online resources.
4. You will get the email address of anyone who downloads your music, so you can inform them of any new releases in the future.
5. Those who download your music will also have to recommend the release to two of their friends: with a bit of luck your music will spread like wildfire over the net!
6. We also organize commercial compilation releases for our most popular artists so if your first EP or album is downloaded a lot, you might even start making some money...!
Please note that we never pass on information or music tracks to any third parties.
