Backspacer transforms from indie shop to growing OPM label

MANILA -- On one of the display shelves at Backspacer Records located at D’Ace Plaza in Pasig City are records of Filipino recording artists.

“We’ve got 20 more records that will be out before the end of the year,” smiled Robert Tuazon, one-half of Backspacer Records’ dynamic duo, with the other being his wife, Tasha. “Incredibly,” shared Robert, “record sales went up during the pandemic. I guess, since people spend more time at home, they either watch streaming sites or listen to music. And music, through vinyl, has been not only an outlet, but rediscovering something from their youth if they are from older generations, or discovering something new if you’re a millennial or Generation Z."

“There’s a market for everyone,” noted Robert. “Some like to get the 180-gram re-issues, some prefer the early pressings. Some go for box sets. Kanya kanya.”As for the record label aspect, the focus of the Tuazons is on OPM whether independent music that was previously released only on compact disc or streaming.
