Demo submissions
A&R is open to everybody. There is no fee, no referral requirement and no "unsolicited material will be destroyed unheard" policy. A person listens to every submission and you get an answer either way.
What to send
Two or three tracks
Your strongest first. We would rather hear three finished songs than a twelve-track album you are unsure about.
A streaming link, not an attachment
Private SoundCloud, Bandcamp, Dropbox, Google Drive or YouTube is all fine. Check the link plays for somebody who is not signed in.
Who you are, in a paragraph
Where you are based, who played on it, who recorded it, and whether any of it is already released or committed elsewhere.
What you want
A deal, a single, studio time, distribution, or just an honest opinion. Tell us and we will answer the question you actually asked.
What happens next
1 — It is logged
You get an automatic confirmation with a reference. If that does not arrive, the form did not go through — try again rather than assuming.
2 — It is listened to
In full, by a human, usually within two weeks. Busy periods can stretch that; the confirmation email tells you the current turnaround.
3 — You get a reply
Yes, no, or not-yet-but-send-the-next-one. A no is a no about fit and timing, not a verdict on you.
Who you would be joining
A short roster we are proud of rather than a long one we padded. Every artist here is signed to a deal they have read, understood and had looked over by their own lawyer — we pay for that review.
Before you send
- Make sure you own or control what you are sending. Uncleared samples are the single most common reason we have to pass on something we liked.
- Tell us if a track is already released, distributed, or promised to another label — it does not disqualify you, but finding out later does.
- Do not send physical media. We cannot return it and we would rather you kept the postage.
- One submission at a time. Sending the same tracks weekly moves you down the queue, not up.
