About Me

“The future is vinyl in association with download” suggested one broadsheet recently just as we were thinking how the single had lost its thrill among multiple format CD hell. Wi45 (pronounced y-45) is very much a singles label focusing on the songs. Every Wi45 single is available on 7" (1000) & download only. With the resurgence of the iconic 7-inch combining with download culture, a future for single lovers now consists of two genuinely exciting paths: Art & Convenience.
