We’ve been championing underground house and techno for 15 years because we believe the best electronic music lives outside the mainstream.

MK837 started from a simple frustration: too much great music was getting overlooked by bigger labels chasing trends. We wanted a home for tracks that take risks – the kind that make you stop mid-mix and ask “what is that?” That’s been our filter for over 150 releases: if it’s unique and speaks to the soul, it belongs here.

Our roster spans hard-hitting techno to deep melodic house, but the thread connecting everything is authenticity. We work with emerging artists building their sound and established producers exploring new territory. Some have moved on to release with Carl Cox and other major names – that’s exactly what we’re here for. MK837 is the stepping stone, the place where artists find their voice before the industry finds them.

Label boss Dave Richards curates every release personally, drawing on 15 years of instinct and underground credibility. We’ve earned regular Beatport editorial support, consistent hype picks, and a loyal audience that trusts us to deliver something different every week.

We’re not chasing playlist placements or algorithm tricks. We’re building a catalog that sounds like nothing else – one release at a time, one artist at a time. If you’re tired of hearing the same tracks in every set, you’re in the right place.

The MK837 mission: Unique house and techno for your soul.
