The Details

  • We’re looking for unsigned house, tech house, deep house, progressive house, minimal / deep tech and techno tracks.
  • Starting in 2023, we are changing our release process away from primarily singles and more toward compilations for newer artists. So don’t be shocked if we offer you a slot on a “Mark’s Prime Cuts” sampler / compilation.
  • Remixes will be released individually later depending on how the well the original is received.
  • Submitted tracks cannot have been released to the public yet. This includes commercial releases, free downloads or simply streaming on sites like Soundcloud.

To submit your music, use the form below. Thanks and good luck!

Before sending us your music...

  • Be sure to check out the label’s sound if you’re not familiar with it. We suggest visiting our Soundcloud page or listening on Spotify. If you don’t love what you hear or see how your music would fit in, this might not be a good opportunity for you.
  • Make sure any links to tracks you submit are private links.
  • Make sure all your social networks are up-to-date and properly represent you in the best light. We do check these. (Don’t forget to have your artist bio on them.)
  • Don’t bug us to see if we’ve listened yet. We’ll contact you if we’re interested.
