Margate has gained the distinction of first official signing by aspiring record label Cyber Tracks.  The label was started by NOFX guitarist Aaron Abeyta (aka El Hefe) and his wife Jennifer Abeyta.  El Hefe explains the motivation behind their first signing:

“We were just looking for bands to record and produce when we came across Margate and realized how many amazing and talented unsigned artists are out there. They are incredible as a band and as individuals and really motivated us to start something more than just a production company,”

The label describes their relationship with bands as a “cooperative venture” with the promise “to empower bands by allowing them to share control, revenue, and decision-making equally with the label.”  Cyber Tracks is currently aiming to release new material from Margate in Spring 2012.
