We've supported music producers for more than 25 years. Today, we're launching Loopmaster Records — a new record label built to champion the music being made by our community.

 

The label launches publicly soon. Before it does, we're opening the doors privately — inviting you, our community of producers, to share your finished, unreleased music first, and to play a direct part in shaping what the label becomes.

 

 

 

A label built the other way round

 

Most labels start with a roster and look for an audience. We start with an audience of over a million producers and look for the music already being made within it.

 

For 25 years, we've supplied the ingredients — the sounds, samples and tools that help ideas become tracks. The label is the natural next step: a way to champion the finished music, and back the people making it.

 

"Loopmasters has always focused on supporting producers as they develop their sound. Launching our record label is a natural next step, and we're excited to champion the music from our community."

— Matt Pelling, Founder and CEO, Loopmasters

"I've previously established several record companies and enjoyed great success for both label and artists, so I'm thrilled to be working with Loopmasters on this project. There's just too much good music out there for me not to! I'll be applying that experience to look for music with an air of quality and originality about it — any genre goes, as long as it has rhythm and soul. We'll make sure the music gets the support and backing it needs to actually get heard."

— Sav Remzi, Founder A&R, Loopmaster Records

 

 

What we're looking for

 

We're starting with any form of electronic-influenced music: House, Disco, Techno, Electro, Breakbeat, Bass Music, Upbeat Dance or Downtempo, whether artist or band driven. That's a starting point rather than a rulebook. Hybrids and other genres aren't ruled out, and where we go next will be shaped by the music you share, and what stands out.

 

 

How it works

 

We've partnered with Audiopool, a new community-powered discovery platform for unreleased electronic music. Artists upload their tracks, and fans, DJs and curators play, boost and share the music they believe in. The tracks earning the strongest support rise up the Audiopool Chart — and that support becomes a genuine signal in our A&R process.

 

Uploading puts music in front of a wider industry audience too. Alongside us, other labels, influencers and promoters on the platform will be listening — and can reach out to sign or support the tracks they believe in. One upload, many doors.

 

 

Beyond releases

 

Signing records is only part of the plan. We'll also champion members of the community making interesting music — helping promote them to new audiences through the Loopmasters platform, whether or not a release is on the table. The aim is simple: when good music comes out of this community, more people should hear it.

 

 

What happens next

 

We're looking to make our first releases towards the end of the year. Until then we'll be monitoring submissions closely through Audiopool, and we'll update you on how it's going, including some of the tracks that have caught our attention.

 

 

The process is ongoing. There's no deadline, so upload when you've got something ready.

 

 

Get involved

 

If you've got a finished track, upload it now at audiopool.io/loopmasters — and while you're there, listen to what everyone else has been making. Playing, boosting and sharing the tracks you rate helps decide what rises, which makes you part of the label too.

 

Get over there when you have something to share. We'll be listening.
