Dopamine Records


Dopamine Records is an independent record label with national and international distribution based in Cambridge, Massachusetts and is part of what is known as the Dopamine/Amalagate Family. The label's most recognized releases are from Akimbo, Bluebird, Baltimoroder, DJ Die Young, The Year of Our Lord, Stephen Brodsky (of Cave In), Caspian (band), and Hooray For Earth.

In 2010 Dopamine records merged with Maniatis' new company MMMMAVEN.

Originally formed by Nate Shumaker, Alexander Maniatis, and Josh Megyesy out of Beverly, Massachusetts. Shumaker founded Dopamine as a cassette-only indie label in 1995 and merged with Maniatis' label Amalagate Records in 2000. Under the mantle of the Dopamine/Amalagate Family, the label started by putting out mostly indie, metal and hardcore and has moved on to incorporate post rock, punk, electro, and experimental acts into their roster.

In April 2006, Nate Shumaker and Josh Megyesy left the label to pursue other interests, allowing Alexander Maniatis to take the label into a new era of growth. He assembled an able and energetic team to carry out a vision for continuing to put out superb music in keeping with Dopamine Record's truly independent style.

Caspian's first full-length debut, The Four Trees, was released on April 10, 2007. This new album is the follow-up to their debut ep entitled, You are the Conductor, which received worldwide attention.
