MIDNIGHT RECORDS1

Founded in 1994 by Sam Fuston, Midnight Records is one of the most iconic (not to mention one of the last standing) independent record stores in California.

Keeping up with the trends -- a task made easier by its location opposite Hamilton High School -- has allowed Midnight Records to remain a key player in the Los Angeles music scene and the music industry as a whole.

Many ask how Midnight Records has managed to survive in our digital age. To this, owner Sam Fuston contends that one element is key; "I'm consistent, that's why I've been around for 19 years. I do this because I love music and I do more than just sell albums."

With his years of experience and knowledge, Sam maintains a great relationship with record labels and promoters from all over the country. Label representatives and artists such as Cali Swag District (Capital Records), Rick Ross (Def Jam South) and Ray J (Atlantic/Knockout) have all benefited from promotions provided by Midnight Records.
