Disco and nu-disco labels accepting demos
The disco and nu-disco section runs to 151 labels, 28 of them with a written history. Much of this scene came up through edits and parties rather than through A&R: Razor-N-Tape started in Brooklyn in 2012 as a home for the disco reworks its two founders were already playing in their own sets, Toy Tonics was Mathias Modica's answer to a Berlin he felt techno had swallowed, and Beyond Space And Time is the record arm of a Japanese festival, releasing when a curator has something to say rather than on a schedule. A label whose output is occasional and curator-led is a hard send at the best of times and a wasted one in the wrong month. Which month that is, this page has no way of knowing.
What this page is, and what it is not
It is a scene page. A lot of this one is the record arm of something else, and the 28 paragraphs are how you find that out before you write: Délicieuse Records grew out of a Bordeaux webzine and runs a booking and management business alongside the label, and Happiness Therapy was a party touring France for four or five years before anybody pressed a record. The remaining 123 of the 151 are in the directory by name while the research works through them.
It is not a list of open inboxes. It is not always even a list of the thing you think you are pitching: the Délicieuse entry notes that its management and booking roster is far larger and more famous than its discography, which is precisely how a scraped listing ends up misleading. Actual submission status moves faster than any of that, closing for a season and reopening unannounced.
So the routes sit in the app rather than on this page. Sessions carries the catalog as a searchable directory with the known route beside a place to record what you learn yourself, because research is the only thing that answers "are they open right now".
How to read this list
- Alphabetical, not ranked. There is no scoring and no top ten: a Tokyo independent running since 1991 and a Lyon label that grew out of a party are in the same list, and the order says nothing about which of them your edit belongs on.
- The line under each name is the catalog's own genre tagging, and every one of the 28 written-up entries names more than one genre there, because an edits label and a nu-disco imprint rarely stay in a single lane.
- Labels and outlets are kept apart. The section further down holds 6 premiere channels, 6 magazines and 4 blogs: in a scene built on edits and parties a premiere is often the realistic first yes, and it is a different message from a demo.
- Some entries charge to consider a demo. The flag covers outlets as well as labels, because paid consideration is not only a label practice, and it sits inside the app on the free tier. This page does not say which, and it names no fees.
28 disco and nu-disco labels, with their history
44,100Hz Social Club
44,100Hz Social Club was started by DJ and producer Denis Yurgens and operates out of Maspalomas on Gran Canaria, Spain. It is two things at once: a long-running numbered guest-mix series on SoundCloud, now past episode 80, and a small Bandcamp label whose output is mostly edits, released as the 'Social(ist) Edits' series (volumes 1 through 8) plus various-artist packages like '44,100Hz Winter Cuts'. Guests on the mix series have included Curses and DJ Rocca, which sets the register: cosmic disco, italo, EBM-tinted house and leftfield club music rather than straight four-to-the-floor. The label wears its refusal to be categorised on its sleeve, its SoundCloud bio ending with the line 'GENRES ARE FOR JOURNALISTS'. Some releases have been run as charity records, with the ALTC edit dedicating all profits to Aid Box Community.
4lux Recordings
4lux Recordings is a Rotterdam house label founded in 2002 by Gert-Jan Bijl, the Dutch producer better known as Gerd (he also records as Sensurreal). It started closer to broken beat and soul before turning hard toward raw, jazzy, deep house around 2009, and it has stayed there since. Clone Distribution handles the vinyl, which is why the 12 inch catalogue reads like a who's who of the deeper end of house: Enrico Mantini, Kez YM, Arttu, NY Stomp, Alex Agore, Jimpster. The label runs a family of sibling imprints rather than one line: 4lux White, 4lux Black, 4lux Brasil, 4lux Deluxe and a 4luxltd series. It is still releasing in 2026 on both vinyl and a very busy Bandcamp.
63b Records
63b Records is the deep tech and minimal house imprint run by Data Transmission, the UK dance-music publication and radio network that launched on 1 February 2008 and now says it runs five record labels. The name is a nod to Data Transmission's own origins: 63b was the old street number of the London club Turnmills, where the outlet began. The label is based in Milton Keynes and describes itself as 'Deep Tech / Minimal label backed from the Data Transmission network and a host of exciting new artists.' It has been releasing steadily through 2024 to 2026 with a roster of largely newer producers.
Altzmusica
Altzmusica is a Japanese independent label started in 2009 by the Osaka producer and DJ ALTZ (Takashi Yamaga), who also runs the Flower of Life party. Its own shop describes it as a domestic independent label aiming to release records that fill the gaps other labels leave, built around artists it found for their sensibility rather than their profile. The catalogue splits between a 12-inch and 7-inch vinyl series (the AM prefix) and a CD series (AMNCD), and covers nu-disco, deep and leftfield house, edits and psychedelic downtempo. Its best-known record is the Idjut Boys' 'World 1st Day' with an ALTZ remix; other releases came from Daisuke Kondo, Keta Ra, Gonno, Asymmedley and Shota Sakamoto. ALTZ himself has released on Bearfunk, DFA and Lastrum and remixed Idjut Boys, Boredoms and Mark Stewart.
AOC Records
AOC Records (the name spells out on its own channels as Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée Records, the French wine-classification pun) was created in Paris in 2017 as the in-house label of the production and management company Triple-Double, launched alongside the Bellaire project. Mixmag France names three DJs as its founders: Bellaire, Georges and Bomel, and describes a house/jazz/funk/deep-house/disco remit with a 'bon vivant' identity that ties records to food, wine and Paris parties. Resident Advisor summarises it bluntly as 'Bellaire's own label,' and the catalogue bears that out: AOC001 through AOC07 are almost entirely Bellaire, with Georges and a various-artists volume. What could NOT be verified: any AOC-branded release dated later than 2025, and whether the imprint is still signing outside artists or has effectively folded back into Triple-Double, where the same artists' newer records appear.
Because Music
Because Music is a French independent music company founded in November 2004 in Paris by Emmanuel de Buretel, formerly of Virgin and EMI Continental Europe. It grew from a Paris indie into a multi-territory operation with offices in Paris, London and Los Angeles, spanning label, publishing and management. Its catalogue is deliberately broad rather than dance-specific, running from Justice, Metronomy and Parcels through Christine and the Queens, Charlotte Gainsbourg and London Grammar to Jorja Smith, Shygirl and Oklou. In 2026 the company appointed Pedro Winter, founder of Ed Banger, as Global Head of Creation and Co-Managing Director of Because Music France, a signal of renewed focus on its electronic side.
Beyond Space And Time
Beyond Space And Time, abbreviated BEST, is the record label arm of Rainbow Disco Club, the Japanese festival that has run for over a decade and now takes place at Izu Inatori in Shizuoka. The label launched in November 2019 with a 7 inch sampler and then BEST001, a double LP compilation curated by DJ Nobu from his own collection, spanning Laurent Garnier, Dan Curtin, Burial, Pan Sonic and Front 242. Its second volume was compiled by Antal of Amsterdam's Rush Hour, an eleven track double 12 inch reaching across house, disco, new wave, Caribbean and rare groove. BEST003, released in October 2022, documented a studio improvisation between Kuniyuki, Soichi Terada and Sauce81 that grew out of a performance at the festival. Output is curator-led and occasional rather than a regular schedule.
Born Losers Records
Born Losers Records is a boutique Philadelphia label formed in 2016 that specialises in vinyl and cassette releases, describing itself as 'a label from Philly / something for everyone'. It runs a roster of 50-plus acts spanning emo, post-hardcore, indie rock, dream pop and synth-pop, and has handled records for well-known names including Anthony Green, Saosin, The Sound of Animals Fighting and Preoccupations. It also operates a sublabel, Born Losers Songs, and keeps an active 2026 release schedule.
CamelPhat (label)
CamelPhat are the Liverpool duo Dave Whelan and Mike Di Scala, together since 2006 and Grammy-nominated for 2017's 'Cola' with Elderbrook. Their own imprint is called When Stars Align; they trailed it in February 2021 as 'launching Summer 2021', but it did not actually open until October 2022 with CamelPhat's remix of ELDON's 'Magic Me'. The label sits in melodic techno, indie dance and melodic Afro house, and runs a recurring various-artists Constellation Series compilation alongside CamelPhat's own singles and outside signings.
Citizen Records
Citizen Records is the Dijon label Pascal Arbez-Nicolas started in 2001, better known as Vitalic, and it has been his home base ever since; he added a second imprint, Clivage Music, in 2016. The label's own description says it is 'focused today on techno projects only', though the catalogue across two decades takes in electro, dark disco and body music alongside Vitalic's albums and soundtracks. The roster has stayed small and largely French, and the label marked the twentieth anniversary of his 2005 debut 'OK Cowboy' by reissuing Vitalic's back catalogue.
Crue-L Records
Crue-L Records was founded in Tokyo in 1991 by DJ Kenji Takimi, and became one of the defining Japanese independents of the Shibuya-kei years, releasing Love Tambourines, Kahimi Karie and Port Of Notes alongside its in-house band Crue-L Grand Orchestra. The catalogue runs across house, dub, disco, balearic and leftfield pop rather than sitting in one lane, and it has drawn remix work from Theo Parrish, Joaquin Joe Claussell and DJ Harvey. Since 2021 it has run the CRUE-L WAVE vinyl series, extended in 2024 into a collaboration with the Japanese retailer WAVE.
Darker Than Wax
Darker Than Wax was started in Singapore around 2010 by Dean Chew (Funk Bast*rd) and Kevin Guoh (Kaye), who met at the club Nox around 2001 through their mentor Brendon P and had previously run the online music platform Dance and Soul. The name comes from crate-digging language, the idea of searching one step deeper for a hidden gem, and the catalogue sits where jazz, soul and broken electronic club music meet. The label runs a long-standing radio strand, Darker Than Wax FM, carried on The Lot Radio, Balamii and Worldwide FM, and has drawn support from Gilles Peterson, Lefto and Bradley Zero; it works through a press and distribution arrangement with !K7. It has spread beyond Singapore to New York and Tokyo, and marked fifteen years with a run of parties across 2026.
De La Groove Records
A Paris house collective and label, founded in 2016; Resident Advisor's profile reads "Collective & record label founded in 2016. Composed by 7 DJs & producers, De La Groove is gathering people around the principles and values of house music through their events or releases." Its own SoundCloud names the core crew as Chinau, Knuckle G, Larry G, Pedro de Montelimar and Vanderkraft, with Larry G and Chinau also handling A&R. The catalogue has passed 30 releases across nearly a decade, built on carefully sequenced various-artists compilations, and the label holds a residency on Radio FG. Its December 2025 compilation PANORAMA (13 tracks pitched as a journey rather than a collection) is the clearest statement of its range, from soulful and groovy to raw, club-facing rhythms.
Defected Records
Simon Dunmore founded Defected in London in January 1999, leaving his job running A&M's dance division AM:PM to bet on himself, with initial funding from Ministry of Sound. It hit immediately (debut release Soulsearcher's "Can't Get Enough" went top five in the UK, and Roger Sanchez's "Another Chance" went number one in 2001), and it became the closest thing UK house has to an institution, spanning a dozen sub-labels (DFTD, Glitterbox Recordings, Classic Music Company, Nu Groove, Soulfuric, Big Love, 4 To The Floor, D4 D4NCE, The Remedy Project), the Glitterbox nightlife brand conceived in 2014, radio, and a 25th-anniversary world tour across 25 countries in 2024. The turn that matters: in September 2022 Dunmore sold the company to investor Stephen Devonshire and CEO Wez Saunders through Optimum Defected Holdings Limited, ending 23 years of founder ownership. The second, for anyone submitting: in September 2023 Defected opened its demo process to unsolicited submissions for the first time in its history, via a partnership with Beatport-owned LabelRadar.
Délicieuse Records
Délicieuse Records is the professional half of the Bordeaux operation that began life as the Délicieuse Musique webzine in 2012. RA dates the label itself to 2012 and describes it plainly as 'the artist management team, record label, booking and event agency of the website Delicieuse Musique'. Co-founders Mathieu Léglise (artist development and positioning) and Gautier de Bosredon (publishing, catalogue and sync) turned a tastemaker blog into a four-part business: label, music publisher, booking agency and management firm, run from Bordeaux with a Paris foot. Its own bio calls it 'a multi-genre record label and publishing company' and the catalogue backs that up rather than any single scene: Danish downtempo from Jesper Ryom, jazz-inflected house from dublon (with saxophonist Nathan Haines), French indie-electronica from Tar Blanche, Carleton and Duke Boara. The thing to understand before pitching it: the management and booking roster is far larger and more famous than the discography, which is why third-party 'roster' listings for this label are misleading.
Eleatics Records
A Kyiv based label working in melodic house and techno, progressive house and indie dance, known for its Axioma compilation series built around philosophical themes.
Four Framed Music
Four Framed Music is an Amsterdam-based house label whose stated premise is pairing records with visual art. Its own description is 'a record label that brings together music and art in a unique way. Focusing on releasing high-quality NYC, Detroit, Chicago and Italo-influenced house records, always with a deep connection to the dancefloor.' The catalogue is small and vinyl-led: FOURFRAMED001 through FOURFRAMED007, with sleeve art credited per release and pressing at Deepgrooves. Coverage is genuinely thin: no founder's name, founding year, or press feature could be verified. The 'dave@' address on file implies a Dave runs it, but nothing on the label's website, Bandcamp, SoundCloud, Instagram, Linktree or any release page names a person, so no founder is asserted.
Happiness Therapy
Simon Blondeau (known as the DJ/producer Crowd Control) ran Happiness Therapy as a party around France for four or five years before deciding the night needed a label attached to it; the first record landed in June 2018. It is based in Lyon, not Paris, and it is unapologetically fun house music: piano riffs, disco-house edits, garage swing, all wrapped in a deliberately retro-90s identity Blondeau says took months to settle because he refused to look like every other imprint: 'we wanted to be known for quality music', which survives today as the bio line 'Quality music, quality people.' Jesse Bru's 15-track album The Coast (2020) is its biggest seller and the release that made its name outside France; Beatport made it Hype Label of the Month in February 2023. It has since branched into sub-series (Crucial Traxx, Saṃsāra Cycles, the Happy House compilations, and anniversary various-artists sets at three and five years) while the main HT catalogue has run past HT27.
Hot Creations
Jamie Jones and Lee Foss founded Hot Creations in 2010 out of a shared love of house, techno, disco, soul and funk, and it very quickly became the recorded sound of a specific Ibiza moment: the Paradise and DC-10 era, when a looser, groovier, more psychedelic house was taking over the island's dancefloors. Hot Natured, the group of Jones, Foss, Ali Love and Luca Cazal, came out of the label and put 'Benediction' into the UK Top 40 in 2013. It passed 100 EPs by 2017 and spun off Hottrax in 2012 as Jones's tech-house outlet and Emerald City for more song-based material. The turn: by 2016 the two founders' tastes had diverged and the label was drowning in inbound music, so Foss took his own taste off to found Repopulate Mars. Hot Creations stayed the Jones-led house flagship, and it is still very much running, with a 2026 Playa Soleil residency in Ibiza and a catalogue up into the HOTC280s.
LoveStyle Records
A Hungarian independent label established in 2013, working in nu-disco, deep house and house.
Maniana Records
A deep house, nu-disco and indie dance imprint operating within the Proton Music family of labels.
Omena Records
Omena (Finnish for 'apple', per the label's own line 'Omena is finnish for apple. It's also a record label set up in 2014') was started in Stockholm in 2014 by Tobias 'Tooli' Lidström, better known for running Local Talk. It opened with HNNY's 'Always' 12" in April 2014, and HNNY's album Sunday followed in 2015 and remains the calling card people know it by. The line was warm, sample-led, deep and jazzy house with a disco tilt (Mella Dee, Casino Times, Westcoast Goddess, Jesse Futerman, Nuage, Golden Retriever) and it spun off a sublabel, Omena LTD, in 2015. The later years drifted toward a more UK-facing roster (TREE THREES, Half Dead Dave, Ognib, Moonee) and then it simply stopped: the last release was Moonee's Cactus Theory EP on 24 May 2024, the last post on its Facebook page was 8 June 2024, and omenarecords.com no longer serves the label's site at all.
Plasmapool
Plasmapool is the flagship imprint of Plasmapool Media Entertainment, a group that operates a family of genre specific sub-labels across electronic music.
Pont Neuf Records
Pont Neuf Records is a Paris house imprint that has described itself since inception as 'Record label based in Paris since 2016' under the motto 'IN HOUSE WE TRUST'. A decade in, it is widely credited with platforming much of the new French house wave (Tour-Maubourg, Dylan Dylan, Mira Ló, THEOS and Goldie B among them) alongside a Rex Club residency and parties at Concrete, Badaboum, Djoon and Sacré. It ran a tenth-anniversary campaign across 2026: a compilation, 'Pont Neuf 10 Years — In House We Trust', was announced for September 4, 2026, with anniversary events on 31.07.26 at Cité Fertile (Pantin) and 07.08.26 at the Citadelle de Marseille. The founder's name, Thomas Prunier, comes from a Music is 4 Lovers feature dated June 2026 (unverified against an official page), though the official SoundCloud bio does give booking as [email address removed], which is consistent.
Razor-N-Tape
Razor-N-Tape was started in Brooklyn in 2012 by DJ-producers JKriv and Aaron Dae, originally as a home for the unreleased disco and house reworks that were mainstays of their own DJ sets (bootleg edits, in the peak-SoundCloud nu-disco moment), and it became the reference point for that whole edit scene. Over 100-plus releases the label deliberately moved from edits toward original productions rooted in NYC funk, soul and disco, and it now runs multiple sub-imprints. In October 2022 they opened a flagship record store in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, which stocks the full catalogue and hosts in-shop live sets. Their old website razor-n-tape.com now 301-redirects to their Bandcamp, so the standalone label site is effectively gone.
Soave Records
Started in 2016 and based in Rotterdam, Soave is a collective of artists, curators and promoters built around chill and balearic-leaning house, and grew a very large playlist following on streaming services.
Toy Tonics
Toy Tonics was started in Berlin in 2012 by Mathias Modica, who DJs and produces as Kapote and used to record as Munk, a trained jazz pianist who had run the indie-disco label Gomma since 1999, one of the leading names of that 2000s wave alongside DFA and Output. He wound Gomma and the Munk alias down in 2015 to put everything into Toy Tonics, wanting to add something new to a Berlin that techno had swallowed; his line on it was simply 'It's a new Berlin!'. What the label actually does is organic house (Rhodes, live bass, jazz-and-funk chord movement, played rather than sampled, drawing on Black American music and West London broken beat) wrapped in PAZE's artwork. It hit its 100th EP in 2020, had reached TOYT199 by 2026, and has grown into a proper crew: the Toy Tonics Jams parties started in Berlin in 2019 and now run at Panorama Bar, Phonox and Rex Club, alongside apparel drops and an annual 60-page pocket magazine.
WOLF Music Recordings
WOLF Music was set up in 2009 by Matt Neale and Stu Clark, two house and disco devotees who started out on the South Coast of England and later based the label in London. Their first ten releases nearly all sold out and needed immediate repressing, after which the label settled into a steady, unhurried output of roughly 80 records across the main imprint and its sub-labels, deliberately shifting over time from sample-heavy house and disco toward original compositions while keeping edits on a separate imprint. Neale has described the A&R test as simply 'Would we buy it ourselves?', and the label has built a reputation for pairing established names with new signings. Over sixteen years it has become one of the UK's most trusted sources for deep, soulful house.
123 more disco and nu-disco labels in the catalog
These are in the directory, genre-tagged and searchable, but they have no written history yet. The research is ongoing and every install gets the grown catalog free with the next update, so this list gets shorter over time rather than longer.

Not labels: 21 disco and nu-disco radio shows, blogs and channels
These do not sign records. They play them, write about them or premiere them, which is a different pitch with a different message, and sending one an imprint-style demo email is a wasted send. They are here because a show or a blog is often the more realistic first yes, and the app marks every one of them as an outlet rather than a label for the same reason.
Berlin Bass Collective
Berlin Bass Collective was started in Berlin in 2016 by Matt Kus, first as a party promoter and then as a record label. Its opening event, Disco Kiez, was an all-vinyl disco party at Loophole on 20 August 2016 that drew over 150 people, and the imprint followed in 2017 with Sound of Berlin Bass Collective Vol 1 on 28 July 2017. It ran as a genuine collective of DJs, producers, visual artists and volunteers across several countries rather than as a conventional label, releasing house, deep house and disco under BBC catalogue numbers, and its stated ethos was to spread positivity through music. Kus has said he signs tracks based on the emotions they make him feel rather than on who the artist is. Output stopped after 2022 and the label has been quiet since.
Bolting BitsBlog
Montreal-based online music magazine running since 2014, promoting underground electronic music and running its own monthly events. Coverage spans broken beat, deep house, techno, acid, funk, disco, minimal, garage, house, jazz, ambient and breakbeat, and it invites 'local and international artists to share their vision of music and innovation'. Small, independent and premiere-heavy.
Deep House AmsterdamMagazine
Amsterdam-based house music platform covering news, mixes, events and premieres, with SoundCloud channels split into DHA AM and DHA FM reflecting two different sound directions. Run by founder/managing director Lex van Aken. Archive extends back to at least 2016.
Délicieuse MusiqueCurator
Délicieuse Musique started in Bordeaux in 2012 as a webzine built by six music-obsessed friends: articles during the week, playlists at the weekend, and a 'Jukebox' feature that let readers pull every shared track into sets of their own (its own SoundCloud bio dates the curation habit to 2011). Curiosity and recommendation were the whole model, and it worked: it is now one of France's most-followed tastemaker channels, with roughly 139,000 SoundCloud followers, a large YouTube channel, the DELICAST guest-mix series, and seasonal playlists ranging from jazzy house and nu-disco into ambient and downtempo. The turn that matters is that the blog grew a business: co-founders Mathieu Léglise and Gautier de Bosredon built the professional arm, Délicieuse Records, underneath the same brand. So the relationship between the two rows is umbrella-and-arm, not rivals: Délicieuse Musique is the media/curation platform and discovery front door (it signs nobody), while Délicieuse Records is the label, publishing house, booking agency and management company. They share one team, one office and one email domain, and each account features the other as a 'featured profile'.
DJ MagMagazine
Long-established UK dance music magazine, print and digital, based in London and publishing news, features, reviews, videos and a daily track premiere. It maintains an unusually transparent public pitching guide naming every editor and their remit, with explicit lead times per content type.
Eton MessyPremiere channel
UK channel turned record label, joined 15 July 2011, describing itself as 'a house music, disco, deep house, tech house, progressive and funky music Youtube channel turned Record label, which has included dance music events and an international DJ outfit'. 408K subscribers and 150M views. The genre fit is the tightest of any channel researched, and it has been quiet for about 21 months.
Gazzz696Premiere channel
A one-man UK premiere and promo operation run by Gary J, trading as Gazzz696. His SoundCloud bio reads 'Vinyl addict, music hoarder and DJ since the mid-80s, sharing disco, house and beyond. Former resident at The Blast Club (Chester), Quadrant Park (Liverpool), Sweet (Chester) and Elevate (Bangor). Now playing every other week at Electrik Disko and all summer long in the courtyard at The Commercial Bar, Wrexham.' The YouTube channel @Gazzz696 joined 24 Dec 2011 and shows country United Kingdom, 125K subscribers, 8,420 videos and 91.2M views; the SoundCloud (@gary-j) has 18.8K followers and 2,331 tracks, of which essentially all recent uploads are titled 'PREMIERE: <artist> - <track> [<label>]' for other people's labels. Alongside the premieres he posts his own recorded club sets. There is no catalogue of his own.
Juno DailyMagazine
Editorial arm of the London record retailer Juno, publishing music and studio-tech news, reviews, features and interviews with heavy coverage of house, disco, techno and reissue culture. Based at 10 Greenland Street, London NW1. It splits editorial between a Music Editor and a Tech Editor.
La Belle MusiquePremiere channel
French curation channel joined 21 June 2013, built around aesthetic visuals plus chill/deep/tropical house selections. Its About panel points submissions straight at a Groover profile. Historically one of the biggest chill-house curation brands in France, but what it posts has changed: every one of the 15 entries in its feed from 2026-07-23 to 2026-07-30 is a Short (aesthetic clips and DJ event promos for ARTBAT, Boris Brejcha, Adam Beyer, Eric Prydz), with zero full-length track uploads in that window.
Magnetic Magazine
US electronic music publication based in Beverly Hills, California, covering news, features, reviews, gear and dance music culture, and running its own imprint (Magnetic Magazine Recordings). Notably it staffs dedicated genre editors including a House Music Editor and a Disco Editor, which makes targeted pitching realistic.
Maslow UnknownPremiere channel
This row is not a record label, and that is the most important thing to record about it. Maslow Unknown is a London-based DJ and house-music premiere channel: its own SoundCloud bio reads, in full, 'Deeeeep into the vibe of house / DJ / London / Bookings: [email address removed]', with links out to matching YouTube, Instagram and TikTok channels and a donate link to 'Support The Channel'. With roughly 51,000 SoundCloud followers and 2,300+ tracks, what it actually does is post several 'PREMIERE:' uploads a week for other people's labels (Happiness Therapy, Gradient Recordings, REKD, Magic Carpet and many more) alongside its own DJ mixes, edits and mashups drawn from 1990s and 2000s deep, classic and tech house. There is no catalogue, no catalogue numbering and no signed artists anywhere on it. It is a genuinely valuable promo and tastemaker outlet to pitch, but it is not a place a track gets signed, and treating it as a label in a submission tracker will produce a send that can never come back as an offer.
MoskalusPremiere channel
Moskalus is primarily a long-running promo/premiere YouTube channel run by Marek Moskal from Ostrava, Czech Republic. Four/Four Magazine profiled it in March 2018, dating the channel to 2014 and noting that 'a Moskalus upload is almost seen as a badge of honour, a rite of passage to validate your talent', with particular credit for breaking Irish producers including KETTAMA. The channel is large and relentlessly active: 51.6K subscribers, about 7,000 videos, banner text 'NON-PROFIT CHANNEL!!!'. It does also have a genuine label arm, Moskalus Records, based in Czechia, which began with MR001, Henrik Villard's 'I Wanna Stay EP' on 30 April 2020, whose own Bandcamp blurb frames the move as the platform 'entering the label sector' after five years as 'an audiovisual platform for the Internet Underground Masses'. That label arm is small (four releases) and appears stalled since 2023, while the channel itself uploads daily.
Netil Radio
Netil Radio is a London community station broadcasting from a converted shipping container on the roof of Netil Market in Hackney, known as a hub for East London's underground and DIY music scene. It maintains an active Mixcloud archive of shows.
Resident AdvisorMagazine
Founded in 2001, RA is the most influential editorial and listings platform in electronic music, describing itself as 'A platform to discover electronic music, artists and events'. It publishes news, features, reviews, films and podcasts with a global team of writers. A review or feature here carries more weight than anything else in this category, and is correspondingly the hardest to get.
SlothBoogieCollective
SlothBoogie began life in 2010 as a music blog run by three house and disco obsessives (Pat, Danny and Conor) and grew from there into a full London operation: a DJ collective, a record label, a radio show and a party series. The blog side never went away, and the platform is still one of the more trusted premiere and guest-mix outlets in UK underground house, with its guest mix series past episode 474. The label side is considerably younger than the blog: Resident Advisor dates the label to 2017, and its catalogue runs on an SBR prefix now at SBR020. They marked fifteen years in 2025 with a '15 Years Of SlothBoogie' double-LP compilation and a Berghain/Panorama Bar party, and they hold a long-running connection to Berlin's Sisyphos.
Stamp The WaxBlog
London-founded independent music magazine, started in 2011 by two friends, with editorial ties to London, Bristol and Brighton.

Coverage spanned electronic, jazz, soul, hip-hop, reggae and world music.

TECH ME HOMEPremiere channel
France-registered house and techno promo agency and YouTube channel, joined 9 May 2020, describing itself as 'a budget friendly Promo Agency that helps artists achieve their dream of breaking into the industry without breaking the bank'. 12.9K subscribers over 1,162 videos, uploading several times a week. Included specifically because it is an explicitly pay-to-play operation.

Apiento, Test Pressing sits at the intersection of music, design and art, and is widely treated as the go-to destination for the Balearic and Balearic-disco scene. It began around the Balearic sounds of mid-to-late-80s Ibiza and broadened into reviews, news, interviews, mixes and archive material. Contributors include Piers Harrison, Martyn Pepperell and Bruce Tantum; Byrne also A&Rs International Feel and has released on Leng, Claremont 56 and World Unknown.

Where the routes and the tracking live
Saltado Sessions is a desktop app for producers. It scans every project on your drives into one searchable library, and it carries this whole catalog, more than 1,200 labels and outlets, as a directory you can filter by genre next to the track you are about to send.
The directory is free. Searchable, genre-tagged, the histories, the outlets kept visibly apart from the labels, and the pay-to-play warnings, with no cap and no trial clock. A warning is worth nothing to the person who has already paid, which is why that flag is not the paid part.
Known demo routes are part of Pro, a $44 one-time purchase that is never a subscription, together with submission tracking Pro: you pick a label and hit send once, the app opens that label's route and logs the send in the same click, and the history then lives on the track itself with dates, replies, and an amber flag when a send has sat unanswered for 30 days. A route you dig up yourself is yours on any tier, and so is every note you write about a label.
It runs on your machine and only your machine. There is no account, nothing about your library leaves the computer, and the catalog is a local database that you own.
Keep going
There is a longer write-up on how to submit a demo to a label and keep track of every send, covering the parts of the process that are yours rather than the app's. The other genres are on the labels by genre index, and everything the app does is on the features page.
If something here about a disco and nu-disco label is wrong, or you know one that should be listed, tell us and it goes into the next catalog update, which every install gets free.
