The process is really easy actually:
1. Open GIMP because I'm too poor for photoshop
2. Open a project with just the Spinnin text and logo
3. Acquire a picture from the internet where someone put 10000x as much effort as I am putting in, and add that
4. Add artist and song name, done

I've considered doing Monstercat mockups for Spinnin, but a few issues are
1. The art will be exactly the same (either orange for prog/deep house, or yellow for electro
2. I actually don't know what text Monstercat uses

Also I'm generally very lazy and I regret starting the Spinnin mockups on a daily basis  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That's such a cool process...

Since you can't really do the Monstercat mock ups. have you thought about doing the Doorn records type mock-ups? I've seen Lindoorn do this sort of thing; it's pretty much the same process as the Spinnin mockups, except the Doorn logo is at the bottom and the text is in the middle. 

Also, i had this other interesting idea: for one mockup you could have the background be a solid color (any colour you want) and then just do the typical process from there.

Thanks.

I have considered doing Doorn mockups, but I don't have the appropriate tools at present (a quick Google search tells me the font is Helvetica Neue, which I don't have). I could maybe ask Prizyms (the Lindoorn guy) for the font, but we're not exactly friends...

Additionally, I really don't want to do both the Spinnin and Doorn art for releases, so if I were to ever do art in the Doorn Records style, it would be fairly sporadic.

As for the solid colour idea, I have considered it, but it seems like such a lazy thing to do (even more-so than my usual shtick) that I probably won't do it unless the song name is a colour, or the song name is incredibly generic to the point where I have no ideas for actual background art. I will look into doing some Doorn-styled art though, but I can't make any promises.
