The Tracks - Hanging on - 2017
I’m not sure if Reed Kanter fully realizes how many kids lives he’s positively impacted, or at least the extent at which he has done so. You can tell by the tone of his voice when he talks about the record label he’s been running for the past three years, Danger Collective Records, that it’s hugely important to him and constantly on his mind. But to really examine what Reed and his friends from high school have been developing over the course of the past few years, all you really need to do it look at the enormous group of teenage listeners who pour into every show Danger Collective books, and the massive catalog of releases they’ve put out in the the brief time they’ve been around
In a lot of ways, Danger Collective Records saved Reed Kanter’s life, as it was a project that was born out of his necessity to find something he cared about after a dark period of addiction and anxiety as a high schooler in a small town outside of Los Angeles. After getting sober at 17, Reed sought out a way that he could cultivate his interest and involvement in the other thing that seemed to consume his youth, the LA DIY scene. In the few years that Reed has been managing Danger Collective while slowly growing the operation from a pipe dream with friends to a label that annually runs a 30+ band summer festival, Reed has brought hours of joy and solaces to the kids of LA and surrounding towns. Danger Collective Records give a sense of meaning to Reed’s life that he had been searching for all of the years before he started the label, and in turn creates meaning in the lives of so many otherwise bored or aimless kids just like he was.
