Genjing Records (simplified Chinese: 根茎唱片; traditional Chinese: 根莖唱片) is an independent record label that specializes in releasing vinyl recordings of Chinese musicians.

Launched in Beijing in March 2011, China's first vinyl-only record label was initially intended as a platform for founder Nevin Domer's hardcore band Fanzui Xiangfa (犯罪想法) to release and distribute their own recordings.[1] After realizing the large potential for a new independent record label, however, Domer determined that he could also help other independent Chinese musicians to release material on vinyl, a medium that had been rapidly gaining favor within the country's growing collector community throughout the mid-2010s.[2][3]

Since then, Genjing Records has shifted its mission statement to focus primarily on creating connections between China's DIY independent music community and its international counterparts, a process that is primarily facilitated by the release of split 7" records in cooperation with global partner labels and subsequent multinational tours in which bands criss-cross each other's countries.[4][5][6]

In August 2012, Genjing worked with one of the first expatriates involved in the mid-1990s Beijing punk scene, David O'Dell, to host a charity punk-rock show and auction in association with Half the Sky, a Chinese charitable organization dedicated to poor rural children.[7][8]

On August 19, 2012, Genjing Records was featured on DIY punk fanzine Maximumrocknroll's weekly radio show.[9] In April 2013, the label spearheaded Mainland China's participation in Record Store Day 2013.[10][11][12]

Since its inception, Genjing Records has issued over a dozen releases, including efforts from AM444, Demerit, Dear Eloise,[13][14][15]</ref> Duck Fight Goose,[16] the Fever Machine,[17] Gum Bleed, Round Eye,[18][19] Snapline, Wang Wen (罔聞),[20] and Fanzui Xiangfa.[21][22]

The label's international catalog includes releases by Cheap Stuff, Libyan Hit Squad, SS20, Sick Times,[23] Tiny Ghosts and Tussle.
