Happy New Year from START-TRACK!

...aka what is ahead of us in next year...

Dear friends,

Happy New Year, everyone!

Yesterday we celebrated 15 years of our blog. On January 4, 2011, START-TRACK was launched. Remarkable milestone, and we are so thankful for all those years of support.

We celebrated with our Birthday Fundraising Festival in Bratislava and London. We will share some videos on Instagram (Bratislava is already there).

Today is shipping day, so if you have something you would like to order, please do in within the next 6 hours, andwe will ship it right away.

We have been transparent about our label's situation, so we want to share that we have decided to wait for new releases before selling an additional 200 cassettes. It might seem like a lot, but it used to take us two to three months to sell that many; now, it feels like forever. If you'd like to help us, pick up a tape or two and tell your friends.

We are currently at 28 out of 200 in just a week, which is mindblowing. Keep ordering tapes to keep our dream alive.

As a thank-you for all your support, enjoy our birthday discount code: “15years” on anything in our store.

If you did not have time to catch up with what we released in 2025, you can listen to our sampler and hear how our year sounded:

We will split all digital profits from the sampler: half will be donated to the Slovak organization Vagus (vagus.sk/en/), which assists individuals affected by homelessness, and the other half will support our blog.

Thank you for all the fantastic support over the past year(s). You keep my hopes still alive. I hope all the love you share with us will be repaid.

Have a great week and start to the year!

With lots of love,

Filip, the head of START-TRACK.com

P.S.: Do not forget to buy cassettes from us.
