Label partnerships
For labels — bulk packs, trades, partnerships
If you run an afro house, deep house, or adjacent electronic label, Rapture wants to work with you. Discounted bulk submissions, playlist trades, and ongoing A&R relationships.
01
Bulk packs at a discount
Submit 10+ tracks at €4 each instead of €5. Same 72-hour curator review. Same in-full listen. Same written feedback. Just easier on the budget when you're rolling out a release schedule.
02
Playlist trades
You feature Rapture-curated tracks on your playlists; Rapture features your roster on ours. Subject to genre fit and audience overlap — no farm-style trades, just real curated cross-promotion.
03
A&R partnership
For labels we vibe with: ongoing relationship where Rapture flags tracks from artists for your A&R team, and you send heads-up on releases that fit our playlists. No exclusivity required.

Playlist trades — how they work
Every month or two, we look at the labels and curators we've been getting good music from and propose a trade. The deal is simple:
- Rapture features 2–3 tracks from your label's roster on our active playlists for a 4-week run
- You feature 2–3 tracks we send you on your label's curated playlists for a 4-week run
- Both sides commit to genuine listening and editorial fit — no automated farms
- Trades happen only when there's real audience overlap and genre alignment
This isn't pay-for-play and it isn't volume-driven cross-promo. It's curated trades between curators who respect each other's work.

Label questions
Does Rapture accept submissions from labels?
Yes. Rapture works with afro house, deep house, and adjacent electronic labels through bulk submission packs (€4 per track for 10+) and partner programs that include playlist trades. Email submissions@rapture-records.com with your label name, roster sample, and what you're looking to release.
What is a playlist trade?
A partnership where Rapture features tracks from a label's roster on its curated playlists in exchange for the label featuring Rapture-curated tracks on theirs. Trades require genuine genre fit and similar audience size — we don't trade with playlist farms or generic compilation accounts.
How does the bulk discount work?
Bulk packs cost €40 for 10 tracks (€4 per track instead of €5). All 10 are reviewed in full within 72 hours. Discount is automatic for the bulk pack — no code needed. Email submissions@rapture-records.com to start a label account.
Do you sign artists or release on Rapture?
Rapture is primarily a curator and playlist label, not a traditional record label. That said, we're exploring releasing curated compilations and one-off EPs in 2026. If you're an artist with a track that fits Rapture's sonic identity, send it to submissions@rapture-records.com with a note about release context.
What genres do you accept from labels?
Primarily afro house and deep house. Also: organic house, melodic deep, indie dance with afro/deep DNA. We're not the right fit for tech house, big-room, or commercial pop-EDM. If unsure, email a track and we'll tell you.
Is there a minimum label size to partner?
No. We've worked with labels as small as one-person operations and as large as multi-imprint groups. The criteria is curatorial fit and genuine audience, not vanity metrics.
