Into It Music’s Stulken steps down from label

Munson assumes full management of the company

Scott Stulken, cofounder and studio manager of Into It Music announced today he will step down from his position with the label.

Stulken said he had been over extended in his personal and professional life and needed to step back from the label to focus on other projects.

“I am sad to lose Scott as a partner, but look forward to continuing to work with him on an advisory basis,” Into It Music co founder Corey Munson said. “Scott has been a close friend of mine for almost 20 years, he may not be involved in the day to day operation of the label, but his example and our friendship carries on.”

In Stulken’s absence, Munson assumes responsibility for all aspects of label management.

“We are heading into a very important period in the label’s existence,” Munson said. “Now that our debut record has been released (Saw the Seahorse - Triangles are for Squares, released 2/1/2011) we are looking to expand the brand, work with more artists and help foster a dynamic and growing music scene in eastern Iowa.”

“This growth will give us the chance to work with others in the industry as well, and I look forward to announcing several new partnerships within the next few weeks,” Munson said.

Corrected: Corridor Business Journal

Just a quick note on the Corridor Business Journal article from last week.

First, we really appreciate the coverage we have received and the article was excellent!

That having been said, I must correct one concerning statement. In the story titled ‘Local record label caters to Corridor musicians,’ Ms. Porter said “The company... plans to have four bands at a time.”

This is not accurate.

Currently we have one signed band (Saw the Seahorse) and three others we are in serious talks with. I also said, and she accurately reported, that we hope to release four records total in 2011. We are not limiting ourselves to only working with four bands, that is simply where we’re at right now.

Again, this was a wonderful article, but please don’t be confused: We’re is going to be huge!

Thank you to everyone who has supported Into It Music so far, let’s build this thing together!

Independent record label forms in Cedar Rapids

Into It Music plans launch event and cd release party Feb. 5

Into It Music, an independent record company working with local musicians, has formed in Cedar Rapids and will officially launch on Feb. 5, 2011, with the release of its first album “Triangle are for Squares,” by Saw the Seahorse.

The groundwork for Into It Music started in 2010 with friends and former band mates Scott Stulken and Corey Munson. Both share a love for encouraging and promoting the local scene and created Into It Music as a vehicle to get up and coming acts from across Iowa heard and recognized on a national scale.

“I believe this is a way that I can give back to a scene that I’ve been a part of for many years,” said Munson.

In addition to selling CDs and Vinyl Records, all Into It Music artists will be available for download on iTunes and at the Amazon MP3 Store. Stulken and Munson also plan to co produce many of the albums available from Into It Music at their studio in Cedar Rapids.

To celebrate the founding of Into It Music, the label will host a launch party on Saturday, Feb. 5, at the Paul Engle Center (1600 4th Ave SE) in Cedar Rapids. The evening will feature live performances from Into It Music artists as well as a launch announcement and press avial by founder Corey Munson.

“The launch party is an opportunity for Into It Music to introduce itself to the community, and hopefully have a great time doing it,” Munson said.

This event will also highlight the release of Saw the Seahorse’s debut “Triangles are for Squares.”

Saw combines elements of indie rock, funk and jam into an intoxicating and highly danceable concoction that will have you shaking what God gave you.

Saw will play along side local artists D.C. Cusanelli and Save Us Hollywood. The Launch Party event is free and open to the public, and is sponsored by Jackbox Productions, Shirt Yeti, Frankie’s Cupcakes and More, and Shockwave.
