Type was created by two like-minded UK residents John Xela and Stefan Lewandowski. After a chance meeting in a record shop (where else?) and starting a successful club night together, they decided it was time to take their ideas further.

John was already somewhat known for his music recordings, and Stef was very well known for his graphic art and webdesign - so what better pairing, all sides were deftly accounted for.

After discussing the possibilities of a label for a few months, John and Stef came into contact with the guys from Baked Goods.

These people knew their music, and the pair liked them a lot. It also came apparent that they thought the Type ideas were pretty nice, so after a lot of careful thought and consideration, Type was born.
