Tech house labels accepting demos
This page lists 137 tech house labels, 44 of them with a written history behind the name. Nearly all of them are run by working DJs, and that shapes what happens to a demo once it lands: Toolroom was started by Mark Knight and his brother Stuart in an actual tool shed in Kent in 2003, on the founding line that they wanted a record label run by DJs for DJs, and Repopulate Mars exists at all because Hot Creations had outgrown one set of ears and Lee Foss took his half of the taste elsewhere. Inbound volume is the real constraint in this genre, so a track aimed at one specific roster travels further than the same track sent to forty. What this page will not tell you is which of those inboxes is open this month.
What this page is, and what it is not
It is a scene page. One word covers two rooms here, and the 44 paragraphs below are what separate them: the festival and Ibiza end, where Black Book's founder signed his own output and the label's brand to Astralwerks, and the Romanian minimal end, where Amphia releases slowly into a private, invented world of sound. The other 93 labels are listed by name, genre-tagged and searchable in the app while the research reaches them.
It is not a list of open inboxes. On this page even the sign on the door moves: John Summit's label spent its first year as Off The Grid Records and became Experts Only in September 2023 after a cease-and-desist over the name. A submission policy changes faster and more quietly than that, so a scraped address beside a hundred names is worth about what it cost.
Which is why the routes are in the app rather than on this page. Sessions keeps the current known route next to somewhere to record what you find out yourself, because research is the only thing that answers "are they open right now".
How to read this list
- Alphabetical, not ranked. No scoring, no top ten, and no preference between the two ends of the page: a DJ-owned imprint with its own festival and a vinyl-only label releasing once or twice a year are sorted by name alone.
- The line under each name is the catalog's own genre tagging, and it is the single most useful thing on this page: all 44 written-up entries name a sub-genre, which is how you tell the rolling club end from the deep tech and rominimal end without opening a record.
- Labels and outlets are kept apart. The short section further down holds 4 magazines and 4 premiere channels, plus a talent pool that is a curator rather than an imprint, and all three take a different pitch from a label.
- A few of the names here charge to consider a demo. The flag sits on the free tier deliberately: the producer most exposed to a submission fee is the one who has not paid for anything yet. This page does not say which, and it names no fees.
44 tech house labels, with their history
1605
Founded in 2007 by the Slovenian DJ and producer UMEK, 1605 has been one of the longest running artist-led techno imprints in Europe. The label added a sister imprint, 1605 GrooveSector, for hardgroove techno.
20:20 Vision
20/20 Vision was founded in 1995 by Ralph Lawson, the long-standing resident of Leeds club night Back to Basics, together with Carl Finlow, working out of a farmhouse studio outside Leeds. The name was chosen for the idea of perfect vision at a moment when house music was splintering into ever smaller subgenres, and the label deliberately refused to specialise. It has run for three decades as one of the UK's most durable independent house imprints, releasing deep house, tech house and broken electronics from Ralph Lawson, Random Factor (Carl Finlow), Nightmares On Wax, Chez Damier, Ron Basejam and Janeret among many others. Its own summary of itself is 'Leeds based purveyors of quality electronic music from around the globe'. The label marked its thirtieth anniversary with a series of records and events under the banner Full Circle.
3am Recordings
3am Recordings was founded in June 2003 by DJ, producer and remixer Al Bradley, starting in Manchester and later relocating to Leeds. Its stated inspiration was the late-90s northern UK house lineage (2020Vision, Paper Recordings, Toko and Glasgow Underground) and it still trades under the tagline 'Fine house music since 2003.' The label hosted its tenth-birthday party at fabric in 2013 and returned to vinyl in 2015 with its 3am Wax series. Bradley also runs a sister imprint, Dragon Parade.
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.
8bit Records
8bit was founded in 2004 in Mannheim, Germany by Nick Curly and Gorge, and it is one of the load-bearing labels of the German tech-house sound rather than a recent arrival: its roster over two decades reads like a survey of the genre, taking in Audiojack, Oxia, Steve Lawler, Darius Syrossian, Sidney Charles, Tuccillo and Danny Howells, and it was prominent enough to get its own Beatport Decade tech-house compilation. It is still running in 2026 and still centred on its founders: Nick Curly returned to the imprint with the Bahia EP, and the current release run mixes label regulars like Piem, Qubiko and Carlos Sánchez with newer names such as Julius Strieder. Beyond the founding line little more could be established: there is no reachable about page and no substantial interview, so any account of turns in its history would be invention.
All We Have Is Now
All We Have Is Now (AWHIN) is the label Bristol-born, Detroit-based producer Will Clarke announced in November 2019 and launched in early 2020, alongside a January-to-March US open-to-close tour. It was pitched as his move away from tech house into more vocal, techno-leaning material and as a home for both his own records and rising artists, after his run of releases on Drumcode, Truesoul, Abode and Relief. Breakout singles 'Hallelujah' and 'U Take Me Higher' came out on it. The catalogue has since drifted back toward house and bass-leaning house, and is past AWHIN043 as of 2026.
Amber Recordings
Amber Recordings is the techno imprint of the Amber Music Label Group, run from Hamburg by Ralf Picka and Timm Refflinghaus under the trading name We Are Independent. The group splits strictly by sound: Amber Recordings takes techno in the peak-time, driving and minimal-tech register, Amber Blue Recordings takes melodic house and techno, Amber Red Recordings takes tech house, house and deep house, and the Amber Music Label Group umbrella takes anything else electronic. Amber Recordings releases run on an AR catalogue prefix and the group also produces the Amber Radio Show. It is a working, chart-facing operation rather than a boutique: group releases place inside Beatport's melodic top 100 release charts. In 2026 the group retired its website entirely and moved its front door to Instagram.
Amphia
Amphia is a Bucharest label founded by Romanian producers Cristi Cons and Vlad Caia, who also record together as SIT. Its stated premise is a private, invented world of sound, described by the label as rediscovering 'lost artefacts of ancient electronic music using a very futuristic technique'. It functions as a selective outlet for the founders' own work, released alongside a strong visual identity with a video for each record. The catalogue is small and slow-moving but has widened past the pair into other Romanian and international minimal artists.
Anabatic Records
Anabatic Records is a San Francisco digital label founded by house producer Worthy, a Dirtybird affiliate, and was previously known as Katabatic Records; RA dates it to 2006. It ran as an outlet for Worthy's own records and for West Coast booty-house and bass-leaning house peers, describing itself as 'Future and Booty House from the West Side'. The catalogue reached AB098 and passed through artists who later became better known, among them Walker & Royce, Nick Monaco and Hector Couto. Output stopped at the start of 2020 and nothing has appeared since.
Andhera Records
A Brooklyn house imprint whose own site states "BROOKLYN BORN // AWAKE SINCE 2020"; Resident Advisor also lists it as founded in 2020 and describes it as a "Brooklyn Based Minimal/Deep Tech Label." It is run by Ky William, whom Beatport's editorial arm calls the label's figurehead, corroborated by the fact that the demo form embedded on the label's own site posts to a submission account under the handle "ky-william". Beatportal characterises the current output as groove-led, dancefloor-focused house drawing on the spirit of 90s rave culture, and the label has passed a 50-releases milestone. Andhera presents itself as more than a record label, wrapping events, artist development and education, and apparel drops around the catalogue.
[a:rpia:r]
Vinyl-only Romanian imprint founded in 2007 by the DJ trio Rhadoo, Petre Inspirescu and Raresh, and the label that effectively defined the stripped-back, hypnotic 'Romanian minimal' (rominimal) sound built around the Bucharest scene. Its catalogue is deliberately tiny and famously never repressed, which is why the records trade at collector prices and why the label's reputation far outruns its output. High points include Petre Inspirescu's triple-LP 'Gradina Onirica' (2012) and Ricardo Villalobos's 'Empirical House LP' (2017); the label's stated philosophy on RA is that a DJ set is 'a puzzle of tracks, that wants to achieve an image'.
Atipic (/ AtipicLab / Atipic Digital)
Atipic is an independent, vinyl-only Romanian label founded in Bucharest in 2016 by Adrian Niculae, who records and DJs as Priku. It became one of the reference imprints of the rominimal sound, running a main vinyl line alongside the more experimental AtipicLab series (opened in 2018 with Arapu) and a digital line, Atipic Digital. The catalogue is small and slow by design, roughly one or two 12-inch records a year, and its releases carry unusually high community ratings on Discogs.
Aubele
Aubele is a Tokyo electronic label founded in 2012, describing itself as existing to release Japanese modern electronic music with an emphasis on techno, minimal and other electronic beats, and framing that around introducing Tokyo's old and new culture to the world through original music and products. Its catalogue is small and centred on Foog, the project of veteran Japanese producer Yukihiro Fukutomi, with Peter Clamat, Prismer, Takaaki Tsuchiya and Tsuyoshi Ogawa also on the roster. It ran roughly 13 releases across about 67 tracks under the AUBELE catalogue prefix, mostly between 2012 and 2017. Output thinned to almost nothing after that, with a single release in 2020 and a final remix package in 2022. Its own website no longer exists.
Baikonur
Baikonur Recordings is a tech house label, analog mastering studio and radio show founded in 2015 and based in Karaganda, Kazakhstan. It runs a high-volume catalogue (past catalogue number BKN510 by mid-2026) and positions itself around DJ support, listing plays from Jamie Jones, Paco Osuna, Mark Knight, Chris Lake, James Hype, Solardo and Nicole Moudaber, plus airplay on BBC Radio 1 and Kiss FM. Alongside releases it sells mixing, mastering and promotion services and runs sub-operations including Baikonur Analog Mastering and Baikonur Launchpad.
Bass Culture
Bass Culture Records is a house and techno label started in 2009 by the Parisian DJ and producer D'Julz, and it takes its name from his long-running Bass Culture residency at Rex Club in Paris, which the label and Resident Advisor both describe as the club's longest-running residency. The catalogue has stayed deliberately dance-floor-first and international across ~77 catalogue numbers, mixing French artists with US and German deep-house names. It is still visibly a going concern in 2026: a D'Julz album, a V.A. compilation and a Kerouac EP all landed that year, and the Rex Club nights continue.
Bass Works Recordings
Bass Works Recordings is a Japanese techno and tech house label founded in 2013 by the DJ and producer Sugiurumn together with Osakaman and Nao Nomura. Its defining idea was volume and pace: a weekly release schedule aimed at both domestic and international producers it called Bass Workers. That model worked hard and fast, reaching its 100th title on 1 April 2015 having put out 334 tracks in 100 weeks, and drawing in a cross-section of the Japanese club scene including DJ Tasaka, DJ Sodeyama, Hideo Kobayashi and Shin Nishimura. The label's own website has not been updated since June 2016, and the catalogue since then has slowed to occasional releases dominated by Sugiurumn himself.
Black Book
Chris Lake (Norwich-born, long since US-based) launched Black Book Records in 2017 alongside his single 'Operator', and it became one of the imprints that defined the late-2010s and 2020s tech-house wave. It is run with his manager Brett Fischer of AYITA and head of A&R Ian Massoth, and its catalogue reads as a who's-who of the sound: Wade, Detlef, HoneyLuv, Mochakk, NightFunk, Bontan, Chloé Robinson, plus Green Velvet, Walker & Royce and Noizu. The turn worth recording is the majors: Lake signed both his own output and the Black Book brand to Astralwerks, distributed via Caroline. It is very much a going concern: it put out Lake's first album, Chemistry (11 July 2025), and has kept a 2026 release schedule running.
Cacao Records
Cacao Records is a Central American label based in Berlin, founded in 2016 by the Panamanian brothers Lloyd and Kevin Keene, who record as KEENE, together with Guatemalan producer Jose Raul Gonzalez, aka Gonzo-Gonzo. It describes itself as a 'Central American rooted label with a knack for refreshing exotic dopeness of house & techno flavors, destined for late night dancefloors', and its first year already featured names like Henrik Schwarz, Seth Troxler, Tiefschwarz, youANDme and Rick Wade. The label also runs its own Cacao Amor showcase series, and its recent catalogue leans into Latin- and Afro-inflected deep and tech house.
Cécille Records
Cecille Records was founded in 2007 by Nick Curly and Marc Scholl, and became one of the Mannheim scene's defining house imprints, identified with a rolling, loop-driven tech and minimal house sound. Its early run built careers for Nick Curly, SIS, Markus Fix, Robert Dietz and Johnny D, with later records from Lee Burridge & Matthew Dekay, DJ Sneak, Uner and Sebo K. The founders have described the label as a symbol of a friendship going back nearly 25 years, and say they favour timeless tracks over trend-chasing drops. Its current Bandcamp copy frames it as a cult label set to return, and a steady 2025 to 2026 release run backs that up.
CircoLoco
CircoLoco Records is the record label arm of CircoLoco, the Monday party that has run at DC-10 in Ibiza since the late 1990s and has since franchised worldwide. The label was established in May 2021 by CircoLoco founder Antonio Carbonaro with business partner Andrea Pelino, in an unusual partnership with ROCKSTAR GAMES (the Grand Theft Auto publisher), and its releases are folded into GTA Online's virtual clubs and radio. It opened with the 'Monday Dreamin'' compilation (June 2021, with Seth Troxler, Rampa, Dixon, Kerri Chandler and Sama' Abdulhadi) and has since moved from underground house/techno toward big, chart-facing records: Prospa's debut album, PAWSA, Skream, Mochakk, Carlita, Jamback and now ANOTR.
Cocoon Recordings
Cocoon Recordings was founded in 2000 in Frankfurt am Main by Sven Väth, as the label arm of Cocoon Music Event GmbH and a companion to the Cocoon club nights and the long-running Ibiza residency. Its stated purpose from the start was to let young producers and DJs release without depending on major-label structures, and the output sits mostly in techno and house. It has stayed deliberately vinyl-first even after adding a digital division in 2008 and founding Cocoon Publishing in 2010. It marked its 25th year with the '25 Years Cocoon Recordings' compilation volumes across 2025 and 2026.
Crosstown Rebels
Crosstown Rebels was founded in 2003 by DJ and former City Rockers A&R man Damian Lazarus, and has run from the UK ever since. The label's own about page puts talent discovery at its centre and credits it with early platforms for Jamie Jones, Seth Troxler and Maceo Plex. Beyond records it operates the Get Lost and Day Zero parties plus the Crosstown Consciousness sustainability strand, so it functions as much as an events brand as an imprint. Its current output sits across melodic house and techno, tech house and organic/indie dance.
DeeVu Records UK
A UK label incorporated in November 2015, releasing across house, tech house, UK garage, deep house and drum and bass.
Dirtybird
Dirtybird was started in January 2005 in San Francisco by Barclay Crenshaw, better known as Claude VonStroke. The idea came out of making 'Intellect', his 2002 documentary on house and techno producers: he needed original music for the soundtrack and ended up with a label instead. It grew out of the free Dirtybird BBQ parties he began throwing in Golden Gate Park in 2003, and its sound is the one VonStroke himself named 'tech funk': bass-heavy, deliberately funny, West Coast house that has almost nothing to do with European minimalism. It launched Dirtybird Campout in 2015 for its tenth birthday and won Underground Label of the Year at the IDMAs in 2014 and 2015. Two turns matter: on 20 October 2022 EMPIRE bought the entire brand, back catalogue and all future releases (everything except the live events), with Moody Jones installed as president and VonStroke staying on to A&R; then in early 2026 VonStroke launched a separate label of his own, Wrong Number Records.
D-Vine Sounds
DVINE Sounds was set up by Defected DJ Sam Divine with Kamilla Jilani and Jess Bays, born in Divine's words by pure accident at a lunch meeting in Shoreditch, out of her frustration that up-and-coming house producers had no big enough platform and little chance with established labels. Divine has said she wanted to use what she learned during a stint as A&R at Defected to bridge that gap, and that building a story with an artist is her number one priority. The label stepped back for a period, with Defected founder Simon Dunmore taking it on, before Divine returned to run it herself ahead of its eighth anniversary in March 2023.
EXPERTS ONLY
John Summit started the label and event brand in 2022 while touring, originally as Off The Grid Records, wanting to release without a label's constraints. In June 2023 Mikey Made Cromie, the promoter behind California's Off The Grid Campout, sent a cease-and-desist over the name, and in September 2023 Summit rebranded to Experts Only: a double-black-diamond ski warning, matching a lifelong skiing habit that also gave him his stage name, and a phrase already printed on Off The Grid merch a year earlier, so the switch read as organic rather than forced. Operating from Summit's Miami base under the motto 'Music Without Limits', with distribution through Darkroom Records, it now claims '30+ Artists and Counting', took SiriusXM's Powertools Label of the Year for 2025, and was EDM.com's best label of 2024. It has also grown its own festival: Experts Only Festival runs 19-20 September 2026 at Randall's Island Park in New York.
Haŵs
Haŵs (a Welsh-inflected spelling of 'house') started as a Cardiff party series in summer 2016, founded by Eben Rees, Brynn Slater, James Wilkinson and Thomas Piesinger; the record label came later, run by Eben Rees, Thomas Piesinger and Rhodri Price, with Haŵs Party Vol. 1 released 6 November 2018. That two-step matters: the 2016 date belongs to the parties, not the label. It has since grown into a properly established underground house imprint, now past HAWS034, pressing vinyl at RAND Muzik and distributed by Subwax in Barcelona, alongside a HAWSMIX podcast that has run to 98 episodes and sprawling Club Unity compilations that pull in international names like Roza Terenzi and Eluize.
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.
House Of Hustle
Started in 2014 with the stated aim of releasing house music with attitude rather than sticking to one subgenre, and marked ten years of releases in 2024.
Knee Deep In Sound
Knee Deep In Sound is Daley Padley's own imprint (the Yorkshire DJ and producer better known as Hot Since 82), launched in 2014 on the back of his breakout years and his 2013 debut album 'Little Black Book'. Dance Music NW covered the launch in May 2014, when the early single 'Don't Touch The Alarm' arrived with a Booka Shade remix, and the label settled quickly into a big-room tech-house and deep-house lane, releasing peers like Cristoph, Nick Curly, Riva Starr and Steve Lawler alongside Padley's own records and a long-running 'Hot Since 82 Presents: Knee Deep In Sound' mix and event series. The notable turn is structural rather than musical: the label no longer keeps a website at all: kneedeepinsound.com now 301-redirects straight to its Instagram, and everything else routes through a Linktree, so it operates as a social-first imprint hung off Padley's artist brand. It is very much alive in 2026: his album 'Obsessions', his first full-length since 2020, is due 4 September 2026 on the label, led by 'Shaded', which reworks Shades Of Rhythm's rave-era 'Sound Of Eden'.
Lacuna Recordings
Lacuna Recordings is a Manchester house/tech-house imprint credited on its own Instagram bio as 'LABEL BY @paul_lacuna @tommwatkins', and its Facebook page describes it as a 'Record Label & hosting unique, underground parties in intimate spaces', so the label sits alongside a party series rather than standing alone. The LCN catalogue is verifiable and continuous, running from LCN 012 (October 2020) to LCN 035 (July 2026), with a vinyl offshoot under LCNA. Could NOT verify from any official page the widely repeated claim that the label began in 2016 as a promoter of house/techno nights across Manchester, Liverpool and Cheshire, nor the founders' full names beyond the two Instagram handles.
Limousine Dream
Limousine Dream was founded in 2017 by Gene On Earth, initially as an outlet for his own productions including the album 'Local Fuzz', and opened to other artists in 2021 with the compilation 'The Sound Of Limo'. It has since grown into a family of sub-labels (TSOL, Nug-Net, Nuts&Volts, Limo Trax and the Discord-linked LimoBytes singles series) and is based in Berlin, Germany. Its current About page has been rewritten as a mission statement ('a cultural movement: a platform built to guide modern club culture toward greater depth, meaning, and human connection') and states no founding facts at all. Gene On Earth's legal name appears on no official page, so no founder name beyond the alias is asserted.
Noir Sur Blanc
Noir Sur Blanc is a genuine independent French label (its own SoundCloud bio states 'independent french music record label'), created in February 2017 by KOOS and Théo Knock, with a stated mission of pushing house music through rising artists and a signature visual gimmick where every cover is hand-written by the track's own author in black on white, which is where the name comes from. Its output is bass-house-centred, largely gathered into the recurring 'Blanc Sur Noir' various-artists compilations (Vol. 4 dated 19 February 2021), and it carries real distribution presence on Beatport and Traxsource, with 30.8K SoundCloud followers. The dormant verdict on file looks correct: as of mid-2026 its own SoundCloud had posted no new release in about two years, though the account still reposted occasionally. The city could not be settled: 2018 press names only 'France', and directory sources disagree between Paris and Lille.
PIV Records
PIV was founded in 2015 in Amsterdam by the Dutch DJ and producer Prunk, and the name originally stood for 'Prunk Invites' before being reframed as 'People Invited' / VIP backwards, a nod to the inclusiveness of its parties. It began as a label-and-party platform for producers with, in its own words, a soft spot for the classic US house era of 80s/90s New York and Chicago, and it became the launchpad for the Amsterdam house wave around Prunk and Chris Stussy. The label's own webshop notes it returned in 2026 with the vinyl-only PIV Limited series after a roughly two-year pause, and in 2026 it was promoting a 10 Years festival. No published founding month or interview confirming the exact pause dates could be found beyond the retailer copy.
Plasmapool
Plasmapool is the flagship imprint of Plasmapool Media Entertainment, a group that operates a family of genre specific sub-labels across electronic music.
Poker Flat
Poker Flat Recordings was founded in 1999 by German DJ and producer Steve Bug, whose own three-track EP 'Double Action' was the first release and set the deep, minimal, techy house template the label became known for. Built in Berlin around an early residency at Sternradio that drew guests including Josh Wink, Richie Hawtin and Ricardo Villalobos, it went on to become one of the defining house imprints of the 2000s and has now passed 25 years. The label also operates the sister imprint Sublease Music. One wrinkle worth flagging: it was founded in and is still associated with Berlin, and Steve Bug is described as Berlin-based in 2026 coverage, but the imprint on the official site gives a Hamburg business address. The Hamburg address was verified on the site, but no relocation could be dated or confirmed.
Rawsome Recordings
Rawsome Recordings was founded in 2016 by Thomas Greco (who now records as DR. GRECO) in New York City, as the direct evolution of his earlier imprint Spira Music Records which he had started in 2014. The pitch has stayed consistent: raw, groove-driven underground house that keeps the genre's roots intact while pushing production forward, and the label was first properly introduced to the scene during ADE in Amsterdam. The meaningful turn is that it stopped being one label and became a group of three: Rawsome Recordings up top, with Rawsome Deep for the minimal and tech-house material and Rawsome Rave for hard dance, hard groove and techno (a Rawsome LTD imprint also exists on Beatport). It runs its own annual ADE showcase, a summer boat party in New York, and a dedicated stage at Odyssey Music Festival, so it functions as a scene operation rather than just a release schedule.
REALM
REALM was founded in 2018 by Gorgon City (the London duo of Kye Gibbon and Matt Robson-Scott) as both a record label and a party series, initially as a home for their own club-facing material starting with 'Motorola' that year. It grew well past being a vanity outlet: the catalogue now runs to roughly 200 releases and the label functions as a genuine platform, with an 'Enter The REALM' mix series that is 22 editions deep, a Beatportal residency, vinyl pressings, and A&R that stretches from UKG and bassline through tech house and melodic material. The wider structure matters too: Gorgon City later launched Realm Publishing in partnership with Sony Music Publishing UK, so the brand spans recordings and publishing.
Rendr Records
Rendr Records is a Manchester label that describes its own remit as 'an upbeat rolling Deep Tech/Minimal' club sound, and it has run a main catalogue past RR044 alongside a separate Bandcamp Exclusive Series (RRBC001-RRBC007) used to go deeper and more underground than the club-facing releases. No founding story could be established: there is no interview, press feature, or about page naming a founder or a founding year, and the label publishes no history text anywhere findable. The only dating anchor is internal: an early release credited as 'Lockdown Challenge Winner - Tyson Bruun - Shine' sits near the bottom of the Bandcamp series, which places the label's activity at least back to the 2020-21 period. Beyond that, who runs it and when it started could not be established.
Repopulate Mars
Lee Foss launched Repopulate Mars in 2016, and it exists because Hot Creations (the label he co-ran with Jamie Jones) had outgrown one set of ears. The inbound volume was overwhelming and the two founders' tastes had split, so Jones channelled tech house into Hottrax and Foss took his own bass-first instincts into Repopulate Mars, growing it out of his existing Repopulate Mars party brand. Chicago-raised and working out of Topanga, California, Foss curated by feel rather than genre (his stated test is the bassline, 'what gives them that stank-face'), and the label became an early platform for a whole generation of tech-house names, with Detlef's 2017 'Swagon' EP the breakthrough that proved it had staying power. It has since grown a small solar system of imprints: South of Saturn (September 2019, rawer and more experimental), North of Neptune (2023) and Repopulate Stars. The catalogue is past RPM300 and the party brand marked its 10-year anniversary in New York in July 2026.
SINCOPAT
Founded in 2010 by Aitor Ronda in Valencia, Sincopat has been named a Beatport Label of the Month and sits on the more musical side of tech house and progressive.
Stealth Records
Founded in 2002 and run by the Grammy winning DJ and producer Roger Sanchez, Stealth has been one of the more visible artist-run house imprints of the last two decades.
Toolroom Records
Toolroom was started in 2003 by Mark Knight and his brother Stuart in Maidstone, Kent, about ninety minutes southeast of London, and the name is literal: their first office was an actual tool shed in the yard of a house. Mark Knight's founding line for it was 'we wanted to be a record label run by DJs, for DJs', and the label built its reputation on credible, functional house and tech house at a time when tech house was a niche; twenty years on it is the dominant sound in commercial dance music, which Toolroom has a real claim to having helped build. Knight's own remixes of 'Man With The Red Face' and 'You've Got The Love' are among its defining club records. It long ago stopped being just a label: Toolroom Radio is a weekly show the company claims reaches 16 million listeners, and Toolroom Academy runs production and DJ courses, sample packs, mastering and live events. For an unsigned producer the useful turn is February 2023, when Toolroom joined LabelRadar and formalised a demo pipeline. The Academy now runs weekly demo-review livestreams where feedback is given publicly.
Trippy Code
A Hungarian electronic label founded in 2017, releasing techno, melodic and minimal techno, high tech minimal, tech house, trance and house.

Not labels: 9 tech house 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.
Data TransmissionMagazine
Long-running UK dance music site self-described as 'The Online Dance Music Authority', covering news, features, interviews, reviews, mixes and daily premieres across house, tech house, techno and drum & bass. Editorial is split by genre between named editors rather than a general inbox.
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.
Electronic GrooveMagazine
Electronic music site publishing premieres, news and features across house, techno, deep house and progressive house, with genre-segmented premiere sections. It operates a published, tiered paid-premiere product. Founding date and base could not be established.

The genre fit is the tightest of any channel researched, and it has been quiet for about 21 months.

A house-dedicated music blog, record label and event brand. Its own YouTube About panel reads 'selected is a house dedicated music blog & record label. founded june 2013 in Berlin.'

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.

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 tech house 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.
