Ambient – Dark or experimental

EDM – UK Future Garage (preferably dark), lo-fi house, classic Chicago/Detroit house, French house, breakbeat

Playlist Submissions

Sample Usage policy – if your sample trips a YouTube copyright notice when uploaded to a private unlisted video, we will not be able to release the track to streaming services. A Bandcamp release is still possible. Splice samples are allowed, but note that these often trip Digital Rights Management triggers and other people have likely content ID’d these already because people are either jerks or don’t understand how YouTube’s content ID system works. 

Please email submissions to cleverpig.industries @ gmail.com with the subject line “Submission – artist name – type of release (single/EP/album) – name of release and include either a private Soundcloud, Dropbox, or Google Drive link and we will be in touch if we like that we hear.

Looking forward to hearing what you have.
