The label uses an 8 digit binary catalog number system for its releases, which means that it will only allow for a total of 256 releases.

[19] Many of the label's releases are mastered in Smith's Computer Club Sheffield studio.[20] In 2019 the label launched their own studio filter module called The CPU Filter, modelled on the classic Roland Jupiter-6 filter.[21] The label is also parent to the sub label Computer Club[22] records which released electronic music from 2013 to 2018.
