CLIENT Quannum Projects
“As a [record] label, we are at pains to maintain a grassroots vibe and keep our fans feeling very much like they are part of the Quannum community. At the same time, we’re a business, which means we want to drive people to our site often, and get them to buy, buy, buy. Plinko were instrumental in the conception and implementation of these goals, lending their trademark levity while developing our e-commerce abilities far in excess of our expectations.”- Isaac Bess, General Manager, Quannum Projects
Quannum Projects, the groundbreaking record label founded by artists DJ Shadow, Blackalicious, and Latyrx, came to us with two requests: they wanted a site that the artist-run label could easily update, and they wanted a vintage boxing look.
Taking our inspiration from the boxing posters of the 1950s, we built them a vastly updated site that allowed the Quannum team total control over their site. Along with a nifty audio player that featured tracks from each of Quannum’s 50 releases, we built a back-end tool that allowed them to easily post news, tour dates, video clips, and more. Overall, it won raves from Quannum and their audience of tech-savvy hip-hop fans.
