Label services
What we actually do.
Cranked Up Records is an independent Carlsbad, New Mexico label with Virgin Music Group distribution, radio, film, the road, and Cranked Up Studios West in Los Angeles — built around the artist.
Virgin / TLG
Global Distribution
Worldwide release through Virgin Music Group and The Label Group. Spotify, Apple, Amazon, iHeart, and 400+ outlets — not a dashboard you babysit.
Airplay
Radio Promotion
Founded by a nationally syndicated rock and country host. Real relationships across terrestrial, satellite, and specialty radio — not a spray-and-pray email blast.
Film
Visuals & Video
Campaigns and videos with South Town Productions. 9 Left Dead’s “Happy” took a Bronze Telly. We treat the picture like the record.
Road
Live & Tour
Two decades of promoting rooms, festivals, and radio shows. Tour placement, support slots, and a live brand — Cranked Up Live — that already has an audience.
Reach
Marketing & Audience
Playlists, social, content, and venue activation through CrankCast. The work after street date is the job. We do not disappear when the song goes live.
Los Angeles · David Dominguez
Cranked Up Studios West
This room is David Dominguez’s. Multi-platinum engineer, producer, and mixer. Twenty-five years in Los Angeles — NRG Recording in North Hollywood, Capitol Studios, and now Cranked Up Studios West, opened January 2026.
Mix. Master. Record. That is the work. Don Tanner Band’s “Rock Me” already went through this desk. The roster uses it. So can you.
“Together we’re building a home in Los Angeles where timeless records are still made the right way.”
Record
Tracking in Los Angeles with an engineer who has sat those sessions for twenty-five years. Full production or a focused run at the songs.
Mix
The mix is the record. David’s mixes have lived on multi-platinum albums, rock radio, and stages that do not forgive a thin mix.
Master
A master that translates — streaming, vinyl, the truck, the club. Finished so the song survives every speaker it hits.
