Pioneer Wall · Founding community

The first people
in the room.

Artists, DJs, beat makers, podcast creators and the supporters who backed the catalogue before it was obvious. Every name is here for a reason we can point to.

Filed by craft

Not one undifferentiated list

Filter by what people actually do. A beat maker is not filed as an artist because it looks better in a grid.

Why a wall, not a badge

Founding status is tied to a contribution — a licensed beat, a published mix, a paid show or a supporting membership. It is not sold as an add-on.

Corrections are welcome

If a role is wrong or a name is missing, tell us. We update the wall and note the change instead of quietly editing it.
