Only Here For You is a tattoo studio / record label / events promoter & clothing brand based in Hackney Wick, East London. OHFY001 is the first release for Only Here For You Records and is a compilation album shaped not by genre, but by proximity to a space, a community, and the hours spent together after the tattoo shop doors close.
Curated by Tom Coll (Fontaines D.C.), Elliott Lane (Tattooer / Illustrator / OHFY) , and James Cox (Crows / OHFY) and mastered at Abbey Road by Christian Wright, the record pulls from the sounds that have become synonymous with ONLY HERE FOR YOU; the studio, the shop, the people passing through, and the artists who have helped define its atmosphere. Built over countless late nights, OHFY001 documents the crossover between music, tattooing, print, and shared ritual that has quietly grown around the OHFY world.
ONLY HERE FOR YOU was never intended to exist solely as a tattoo studio. From its inception, it has functioned as a meeting point, a place where creative disciplines bleed into one another and community forms naturally. OHFY001 marks a decisive step in formalising that vision, capturing the energy of the space in physical form.
“Whether it’s tattooing, screen printing, embroidery, analogue photography or vinyl records, Only Here For You wills art into existence in the physical realm, giving life to the old processes. By hand is better and this record carries on in that cannon. The tracklist features some of my favourite artists who I’ve discovered through the OHFY guys and for that, I’m forever grateful.” – Tom Coll (Fontaines D.C.)
Produced in an extremely limited run (300), the compilation is conceived more as an artefact than a commercial release. Every detail has been approached with care, from sound to packaging, with the intention of creating something tactile and lasting.
