Pretoria Gold

Refilwe

The label's first full-length record, being cut between Atteridgeville and a converted garage in Sunnyside. Log drums, church keys and a city that never quite sleeps — the album we've been building toward since day one.

Singles from the album land first. Join the mailing list and you'll hear the release date before anyone else.

The Roster

All artists

Where we are

Two years in. Building in public, one release at a time.

01

Singles, out now

Eight singles across the roster, sold outright as high-quality downloads. Yours forever — no subscription, no expiry, R25 a track.

02

The album, coming

Our first full-length record is in the studio. No date announced yet — the mailing list gets it first, then everyone else.

03

Money goes back

Up to 80% of every sale lands with the artist. No recoupable advances, no rights grabs, no fine print you need a lawyer for.

Live shows, merch and radio — not yet

We're a young label, so there's no tour page, no merch store and no radio show to point you at. When the first Money Back night gets a date and the shop opens, it lands here first — and in the mailing list below.

The Label

Built for
the artist.

Money Back Records started in Pretoria with one frustration: artists pour everything into their craft and see too little of it come back. So we flipped the model.

By letting fans buy music directly — and keeping the terms plain — we cut out the layers that drain value out of a release. More money, back where it belongs.
