Please note
We do have a fixed procedure on how to apply with a demo to make it easy for our A&R Team to review your submission!
Be advised! THIS IS NOT the right page if you like to submit a project for our Project Funding 2025 or introduce music to our Publishing & Sync Department! This is for Release-Ready Demos to our Label!
Omit to contact us after a few days. We need at least up to THREE (3) Months to listen to your music and study your presentation or documents.
We really listen to EVERY incoming demo submission. As we get so much submissions we can´t answer them all. If you don´t hear from us within 3 months your submission has not been taken into consideration.
Suprise us!
Make yourself seen and interesting! It’s part of the artistic process to introduce yourself and your Demo Submission to us.
There are just some minor rules for demo submission! Those are listed on the submission form on our Label Website. Any submission not complying with those simple rules will be automatically rejected without notice.
How to send your Submission
Send your submission with your meaningful and expressive introduction, your demos (ready for mastering), and your Artist Information maybe with live videos, links to former releases and a detailed description of your release to this
We are sure…
…you have studied our website and you got an idea what we are looking for and what we are doing.
If you are applying for a release on our labels, make sure that you DO NOT SEND or provide Mastered Versions. If so, provide the Mixdown / Premasters also! We like to listen to your Mixdown | Premaster. MP3 in a good quality is fine, but we recommend sending WAV / AIFF Files with at least 44.1 khz 16 bit.
Your Songs need to be ready for Mastering with at least 3-4 seconds or 2 – 4 bars silence in front and at the end of your track and -6 to-3 db Headroom. Try to not use any master bus compression on your mixbus for your mixdowns / pre masters. We love dynamic!
Track & Album Naming Policy
Name every single track
ARTISTNAME-TRACKNAME_VERSION_mixdownorpremaster.wav
If you are sending several tracks for an EP or Album make sure they are in the same “hidden” Soundcloud Playlist ( allow download track option)
If sending with Google Drive | Dropbox (or similar) make sure your Album | EP is packed as one zipped File in the same folder named ARTISTNAME_EPORALBUMNAME.zip. Enclose any Artist Bios and further informations within your ZIP File. DO NOT attach it to the Email or Contact Form.
Make sure you let us know your Artist Name and at least some basic information about you, and how we can reach you (Email is mandatory – make sure our Domain sophisticatedculture.com / art-unnamed.com is on your White List for our reply)
We do not accept any submissions that can be found online on Soundcloud , Youtube or any other public presentation Service. (Snippets in a low quality up to 30% of your Song durations are fine)
