Get demos from producers
who fit your sound.
UNSIGNED is where independent producers find the labels that fit their track. They upload a finished record, the Analyser reads the genre, energy, groove, mood and tempo straight off the audio, and it ranks the labels whose catalogue the track sits inside. Being listed puts you in that ranking.
You are not opening another inbox. You are telling a matching engine exactly what you sign, so the records that reach you are the ones worth your time.
Two sides, matched
on sound.
Read off the audio
Genre, energy, groove, mood and BPM, read straight from the audio file. So a track reaches you on how it sounds, not on how the producer labelled it.
What we hold on you
Your genres, your five key tags, the tempo range you release in and the catalogue we have listened to. The more exact that is, the narrower the set of tracks that can reach you.
A fit score, not a mailing list
Each producer sees a ranked shortlist with a percentage against each label. You appear when the sound genuinely lines up, and you do not appear when it does not.
Your tags are the filter.
A label tagged only techno sits in a pool with every other techno label, and gets sent everything in it. A label tagged techno, stripped back, hypnotic, dubby, raw only surfaces when a track genuinely sounds like that.
Same database, completely different inbox. The five key tags you give us do more work than anything else on your listing, which is why we ask for them rather than guessing from your discography. Tell us what you would turn down and you will stop being sent it.
What being listed
actually involves.
You send the email
The seven things at the bottom of this page, in one email. There is no form and no account to create. It takes about five minutes.
We review it, listen and decide
We read what you have sent and listen to your catalogue. If we list you, you go into the database exactly as you have tagged it: your genres, your five key tags, the tempo range you release in, and the one route you chose.
If the fit is real, they pitch to you
From their own inbox, in their own words, with a note written around your label and their track. Your route is only shown to producers on a paid plan who have matched with you.
What we don't do.
We never email you
Not once. Being listed does not put you on a mailing list.
We don't send on anyone's behalf
Every pitch comes from the producer's own address. No bulk sending, no automation, nothing from us sitting in the middle.
Your route isn't public
It's shown to a producer on a paid plan whose track has been matched to your sound. It isn't published, sold or scraped.
You can come off any time
One email and you're removed, no questions.
We check every label.
Not everyone who asks gets listed. We look at what you've actually released and whether you're still active. A list anyone can add themselves to is worth nothing to the producers using it, and it would mean you getting demos from people who found a directory rather than a match.
It's free.
Listing costs nothing and stays that way. Producers pay for the tool. Labels don't pay to receive demos.
Seven things, and
what each one does.
This is everything we match on. Spend five minutes on it and the demos you get will look very different to what lands in your inbox now.
- 01Label name, as you want it to appearHow producers see you once they have matched.
- 02A short bioe.g. Berlin label running since 2016, vinyl first, two or three releases a year.Shown on your row before a producer pays to see who you are. It is the first thing that makes them choose you.
- 03The genres you put out, including the ones you only dip intoe.g. Minimal, Deep Tech, Micro HouseSets the pool you appear in. Leave one off and you never see those tracks.
- 04Five key tags for the sounde.g. stripped back, hypnotic, raw, dubby, peak-timeThe sharpest filter you have. This is what separates you from every other label tagged with the same genre.
- 05One link: Instagram, your website or SoundCloudWe listen to your catalogue before we list you, and it is where a producer goes to check you out before pitching.
- 06How demos should reach youe.g. email, a form on your site, Trackstack, LabelRadarThe only route we ever give out. Change it whenever you like.
- 07The tempo range you release ine.g. 126 to 132Narrows it again after the tags. A track outside your range is one you would not have signed anyway.
