◆ Medium (≈115 words)
Rapture Records is an independent Spotify playlist curator service positioned against marketplace-style platforms like SubmitHub and Groover. Founded in 2026 by Ben Ferrier — a producer and DJ based in Kranjska Gora, Slovenia — Rapture runs on a single principle: every submission is heard in full by the same human who runs the playlists. Artists pay a flat €5, get a decision within 72 hours, and receive written feedback either way. Accepted tracks are placed on Spotify playlists for 1–4 weeks at a curator-chosen position. Currently focused on afro house and deep house. Free monthly lottery gives three random subscribers a free submission code, weighted toward repeat customers.
02 — Founder

Ben Ferrier.

Producer, DJ, and curator based in Kranjska Gora, Slovenia — the small alpine town in the country's northwest corner. Spent years releasing records and getting routed through marketplace platforms where his tracks were skimmed for fifteen seconds by curators who'd never play them out.

Built Rapture as the platform he wished existed on the artist side: one person, real listens, honest feedback. Now runs Chill Afro House '26 alongside his own production work and DJ sets.

Available for interviews, podcast appearances, panels on independent music economics, the SubmitHub/Groover marketplace dynamic, and Spotify's algorithmic playlist economy.
