History
Michael Dixon started People in a Position to Know (PIAPTK) Recordings in 2006 while teaching high school in Olympia. Inspired by New Zealand's lathe pioneer Peter King, Dixon acquired a disc cutting lathe and began cutting and releasing hand-made DIY records. In 2013, Dixon put his teaching career on hold and moved to Tucson to make records full time, through his five vinyl companies: PIAPTK, Soiled Gold, Lathecuts.com, Mobile Vinyl Recorders, and The Science of Sound.[1][2]
