UK garage and bassline labels accepting demos
89 UK garage and bassline labels are in the catalog, 21 with a written history. The genre runs in two waves and this list holds both: Confetti Records was established in 1995 and ran a family of 22 sublabels out of a north east London PO box, while the current revival is largely run by DJs and channels, with ATW put together by Interplanetary Criminal and Main Phase, and CruCast starting life in summer 2016 as a YouTube channel for bassline mixes before the label followed. The two waves want different emails, and the histories are the quickest way to tell which one you are writing to. Nobody's submission status is printed here, because it moves too quickly to be worth printing.
What this page is, and what it is not
It is a scene page. The question on this one is often which imprint inside a family rather than which label: Cheeky Music Group is a London umbrella covering eight small breakbeat, garage, jungle and electro imprints, each with its own catalogue prefix. That is the sort of thing the 21 paragraphs are for, and the 68 names listed without one are a gap in the research rather than a smaller kind of label.
It is not a list of open inboxes. Nor a list of operations that are all still running: the Cheeky entry records a catalogue whose Bandcamp and SoundCloud both stop after 2023. Submission status moves faster again, which is why nobody's is printed here and why an address scraped into a list beside two hundred names is worth so little.
Which is why the routes live in the app. Sessions carries the catalog as a searchable directory with 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. There is no scoring and no top ten, and no separation of the two waves either: a label established in 1995 and a mix channel that turned into an imprint in 2016 sit in one list.
- The line under each name is the catalog's own genre tagging, and it is what separates those waves: 17 of the 21 written-up labels name a sub-genre, and speed garage, 2-step and bassline are not interchangeable when you are deciding what to send.
- Labels and outlets are kept apart. The section further down holds 3 radio stations and 3 premiere channels, which is worth noticing in a scene where more than one of the labels above began as a channel: the badge says what a thing does now, and the two want different emails.
- A few labels here charge to consider a demo. That is checkable in the app before you write, on the free tier, which is the whole reason it is not behind the paid half. This page does not say which, and it names no fees.
21 UK garage and bassline labels, with their history
1Ø Pills Mate
1Ø Pills Mate is a UK rave, acid and electro imprint established in 2015 within the Lobster Theremin family and distributed by Lobster Distribution. Discogs describes it simply as a 'Rave label from the UK' and its Bandcamp gives London as the base. Across 55 catalogued releases it put out mostly vinyl 12-inches of acid, electro and hard-edged club material, and it spun off a sublabel, Cyberdome. Its output stops in 2022.
3000 Bass
3000 Bass began as a SoundCloud channel showcasing UK bass and grew into one of the genre's main editorial platforms before becoming a label, events brand and artist agency under the umbrella it now calls The 3000 Network. Its own About page says it was 'one of the original homes of artists such as Skepsis, Holy Goof and distinkt' (championed on the platform, which is not the same as signed to the label). A Soundplate interview catches them roughly two years into running 3000 Bass events, having passed 50,000 SoundCloud followers in ten months, with the stated ambition 'Record label, artist agency, more events, world domination!'; Discogs dates their first catalogued release to 2015. The brand later added the sister imprint 3000 Deep for deep and tech house. No official page states a founding year or city, so the origin date could not be established beyond 'releasing by 2015'.
877 Records
877 Records is an independent Brighton-based bass label whose own Discogs profile reads '877 is an independant record label based in the UK, where we work with artists from around the world. We focus on House, Bass and Garage, but no genre is ruled out'; its Bandcamp shortens that to 'Underground Bass Music.' Its catalogue runs from at least early 2015 through 2023, roughly 55 releases spanning UK garage, bass music and breaks. Output appears to have stopped after mid-2023.
Airtime Records
Airtime is an independent house label and events brand from the Netherlands, founded in 2019 by Utrecht DJ and producer Jesse Jacob. Jacob started out in techno before moving into house, and the label followed him: it rebranded around a sound he describes as deeper and more underground styles of house combined with an influence of garage, which is why Beatport files its catalogue across deep house, tech house, minimal and deep tech, jackin house and UK garage or bassline. The AT catalogue has passed twenty-four releases and the roster is built around emerging producers rather than names, a point Jacob makes explicitly about how he picks records. The label marked its fifth year with a '5 Years Of Airtime' various-artists compilation.
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.
ATW Records
ATW, short for All The Wicked, is a UK label run by Manchester producer Interplanetary Criminal and Copenhagen born Main Phase, two of the central figures in the current UK garage, speed garage and bassline revival. The catalogue runs from ATW001, which appeared on Interplanetary Criminal's own Bandcamp, through to ATW044 in 2026, mixing the founders' own tracks with EPs and various artists compilations curated to document where the sound is going. Beyond records it operates as a party and radio brand, with label showcases, a Rinse FM presents series and a Balamii residency, and it toured internationally including Miami Music Week in 2026. A documentary called All The Wicked, directed by Finn James, followed the label's first tour.
Barong Family
Barong Family is an Amsterdam record label founded in 2014 by the Dutch duo Yellow Claw as the home for their own output and a wider crew of hard-edged dance producers. It built its name on trap, bass house and festival-scale main-stage material, and has since spun off the sublabels Latin Family and Moksi Family. Its recent catalogue has drifted markedly harder, into hard techno, hard house and hardcore-adjacent territory rather than the trap sound it started with.
BEEYOU Records
A London house and techno label built around a bee/hive conceit. Its own SoundCloud bio reads 'Spreading love and happiness through the form of music and dance culture,' and Bandcamp lists it in London, UK. No founder is publicly named anywhere on its own channels; the catalogue is organised into series instead (BEEY for vinyl, BDIGI for digital, SBEE/Subee, BEESWAX, BEEYDM), alongside a Buzzcast mix series and parties, including a recurring Beeyou & Dungeon Meat Christmas event and a Buzzcast recorded live at FOLD. The oldest vinyl catalogue posts on its SoundCloud date to roughly 2019-2020, and BEEYOU RECORDS LTD was incorporated on 7 April 2020 with a registered office in Braintree, Essex. A 2017 founding year is claimed on the label's LinkedIn and a 2024 rebrand is credited to designer James Willsher (both via search snippet, unverified).
Bobby Donny
Bobby Donny is the Amsterdam imprint of Dutch producer Steve Mensink, better known as Frits Wentink, launched in 2015 as a home for his own records and a small circle of friends. Discogs describes it plainly as 'Label by Steve Mensink. Home of Frits Wentink and others.' Early catalogue numbers gave early exposure to DJ Boring, Tlim Shug and Low End Activist alongside Wentink's own jazz-tinged, swing-heavy house. The label now runs largely through its ACE Series strand, a rolling run of various-artist EPs and Wentink/Malin Genie collaborations that keeps a steady 2025-2026 release pace.
Cheeky Music Group
Cheeky Music Group is a London umbrella formed in 2020 for a cluster of small breakbeat, UK garage, jungle and electro imprints, each with its own catalogue prefix: Breaks 'N' Pieces (BRKN), Cheeky Sneakers (CHEEKY), Running Out Of Steam (ROOS), LOW BATTERY, RRRAAAVVVEEE, Fruity Edits, Welcome To The Loop World and Breaks 'N' Deeper. Discogs lists it as a sub-label of Lobster Theremin with contact given only as 'See parent label'. Its catalogue runs from BRKN001 in September 2020 to ROOS016 in June 2023, after which both the Bandcamp and the SoundCloud stop.
Club Glow
Club Glow started in 2018 as a UK collective and rave tape label. Borai and Denham Audio made a track called '6am', found almost nobody was releasing breaks at the time and decided to put it out themselves on cassette and Bandcamp; Mani Festo and LMajor, who they had met through a UK bass music Facebook group, joined to make it a four-way collective. The catalogue moved from limited cassettes into 12-inch vinyl and the name grew into a radio show on Balamii and Rinse and a touring club night. The sound is breakbeat hardcore and jungle used as a springboard, with speed garage, acid and rave sitting alongside it.
CNCPT Collective
CNCPT Collective is a Bristol bass-music collective that runs club sessions across the city and a record label alongside a clothing line and an agency; its own SoundCloud copy calls it 'Bristol Bass-weight providers. Good vibrations & Unity.' It has been putting on nights since around 2015 including a CNCPT x Sub.Mission series at Trinity and The Black Swan. The label catalogue runs CNCPT001 to CNCPT013 plus a 'Collective Album' compilation, covering dubstep, 140, grime, UK garage and bassline, and the roster is drawn almost entirely from the Bristol scene rather than signed from outside.
Confetti Records
Confetti Records is a UK garage label established in 1995 and run by Richard Pascal, who also records as John Doe, with Maria Joachim, operating out of a north east London PO box. It is best known for The Ant'ill Mob's 'Burnin'', and it grew into an unusually large family of imprints: Discogs lists 105 releases and 22 sublabels including Classic Confetti, Confetti Dubs, Makeshift Records and Old London Records. 'Burnin'' was also the subject of a well known English High Court copyright and moral-rights judgment in May 2003. The operation later evolved into the internet radio station Confetti Digital, which is where confettirecords.com now points, and label output has thinned to occasional digital singles.
CruCast
CruCast was started by Oxford promoter Joe Perry, who DJs as Lazcru, as a YouTube channel for bassline mixes in summer 2016, with the record label following shortly after and its own events from late 2017. DJ Mag credits the collective with pulling bassline back into UK mainstream attention around a young roster it picked up early, Skepsis first among them. It has since widened well past bassline into drum and bass and UK garage, and now runs international dates in Australia, New Zealand, Europe, the US and Japan alongside its regional UK shows.
Dansu Discs
Nick Howsley started Dansu Discs in January 2017 in Leeds, where he was studying at Leeds Beckett and working in the local nightlife. It began as a two-person, digital-only operation before becoming his solo project, and he relocated to London in September 2019. The early catalogue was lo-fi and distorted; it later settled into the label's signature lane of feel-good, groove-led UK garage and high-energy 130bpm club music, expanding from digital-only into vinyl and wider distribution alongside Bandcamp. Howsley has been explicit that the A&R policy favours under-the-radar artists over names, and the label adopted the slogan 'Bringing People Together' along with releases supporting mental-health charities. That said, it now lands genuinely established signings (Alan Fitzpatrick and Josh Butler both released in the 2026 run), so the under-the-radar framing is no longer the whole picture.
DeeVu Records UK
A UK label incorporated in November 2015, releasing across house, tech house, UK garage, deep house and drum and bass.
Don't Need A Million
A Marseille house label created by Wilko, Olivier (better known in the French house scene as Dub Striker) and Ben Davelly. Their own Bandcamp text frames it as a reset: 'The time to start a new chapter from scratch had arrived. Although starting fresh, the love and passion for house music never diminished. House music is all about shared emotions and collective stories.' The catalogue is built around multi-artist compilations rather than single-artist EPs, which has pulled in names well above the label's own profile: Tour-Maubourg and Retromigration among them. No official page states a founding year, and the newest datable release is from 2025.
NightBass
AC Slater (Aaron Clevenger) started Night Bass in January 2014 as a monthly Los Angeles club night, built because LA had no middle ground between festival EDM and purist house for the UK-leaning sounds he loved: garage, bassline, grime, bass house; the record label followed roughly a year later (its own Bandcamp says 'established in 2014', while press dates the label proper to mid-2015). It hardened into the definitive American bass-house institution: an early US/UK interchange booking DJ Q, Taiki Nulight and Jack Beats, 800-plus tracks released by late 2023, a ten-year anniversary in 2024, and a Night Bass Energy podcast plus a touring event brand. In January 2022 it ran a joint compilation with Tchami's Confession, pairing both rosters. The business turn that matters: on 16 June 2023 AC Slater moved the label into a joint venture with Create Music Group, which now supplies its distribution and marketing muscle.
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.
Novaj
A Paris operation that is a premiere channel first and a label second: its own SoundCloud describes it as 'Selector/Producer, music share media, Youtube channel & label' and says it is 'Run by Novaj', the DJ/producer of the same name, with the label side billed as 'Novaj Records'. The channel is the large part of it (27.1K SoundCloud followers and roughly 2,448 tracks, mostly premieres for other people's records) while the label's own catalogue is much smaller: various-artists compilations such as 'International Love' (Kolter, Oden & Fatzo, Harrison BDP, Marc Brauner), 'Utopia 2' and 'Space Energy', plus a sustained run of Novaj & Louis Seigner singles. No founding year is stated on any channel it controls; the label's releases playlist on SoundCloud dates to about six years ago, which is the earliest label marker establishable. Recent output leans peak-time and 90s-house-referencing rather than deep.
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.

Not labels: 9 UK garage and bassline 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.
030esar0303Premiere channel
A Berlin premiere channel run by Lucas Eb, not a label. The SoundCloud profile states 'Berlin', 5,771 followers and 280 tracks, and its bio is nothing but 'Contact: [email address removed]'; every upload is titled 'PREMIERE: <artist> - <track> [<label>]' for a third party's release, filed into yearly playlists. The YouTube channel @030esar0303 joined 28 Nov 2011 and shows country Germany, 56.2K subscribers, 1,235 videos and 27.5M views. The Lucas Eb link is confirmed two independent ways: the channel's own oldest playlist is titled 'Podcasts/Sets (Lucas Eb)', and the Zosse Records SoundCloud reposts an episode titled 'Lucas Eb (030esar0303) - HOUSEWARMING Podcast'. His RA profile describes him as a Berlin DJ, co-founder of Zosse, operator of the 030esar0303 channel, and co-founder of CLIFF MUSIC.
BalamiiRadio
Balamii launched in 2014 as an app delivering mixes recorded in London clubs, and grew into a radio station and now a video platform based in Peckham, South London. Its About page bills it as 'DIY Excellence. From London To The World.' Everything is filmed in one room, The Balamii Booth, spotlighting 'raw and rising talent through DJ Sets, Rap Cyphers, and Live Performances.' They state plainly: 'The platform is run by a very small team. We have no big investors or major corporate backing.'
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.
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.
Foundation FMRadio
Foundation FM is a London online radio station that broadcasts daily ('ON AIR 10-10') and is known as a female-led, community-driven platform for underrepresented voices in UK music. Its site runs sections for shows, residents, records and events. Founding details, founders and precise location are not stated on any page reachable from its own site.
GarageVybez98Premiere channel
A one-person old-skool UK garage archive: the YouTube channel @GarageVybez98 (joined 9 May 2010, 29.5K subscribers, 3,465 videos, 16.8M views) describes itself as 'Keeping the Old Skool Garage Vibes alive. Ill be uploading loads of tracks from my collection so subscribe for more.' The linked SoundCloud (@garage-vybez, 2,562 followers) holds only 3 tracks, all DJ mixes, and its bio points to a sister account for the 4/4 material and back to YouTube for 'Vinyl & Mix archives'. No operator is publicly named, no city is stated anywhere, and there is no release catalogue on any platform: this is a vinyl-rip upload channel plus an occasional mix series, not a label.
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.
Rinse FMRadio
Rinse FM was started in September 1994 by DJ Geeneus and Slimzee in Tower Hamlets, London, and ran unlicensed for sixteen years to become London's biggest pirate radio station, foundational to jungle, UK garage, grime and dubstep. Ofcom awarded it a community radio licence in June 2010 and it began legal broadcast on 106.8 FM on 7 February 2011. It now runs multiple channels: Rinse UK, Rinse France (2014), Kool FM (2023) and SWU FM (2023), plus the Rinse Recordings label.

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 UK garage and bassline 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.
