History

We Are Recordings was founded on September 24 th, 2014 by Maurits Vincent Thijssen. His idea was to share his enthusiasm for music with the world and start a label to produce and distribute (Electronic Dance) Music.

From the start he surrounded himself with young and more experienced people, who shared the same passion for music. In this way many “soulmates” were brought together and they became more than friends. For Maurits Vincent and many of them the community around We Are Recordings felt like family.

Unfortunately Maurits Vincent was not able to live his dream for a long time. He passed away on April 30th , 2015 at the age of 21. His closest friends however were determined to continue the process they had started and they decided to build further on Maurits Vincent’s legacy.
