From music to movement.
C28 RECORDS is connected to the CAVE 28 ecosystem, bringing together music, artists, visual culture and events. Our vision is to create stronger connections between the music we release and the culture we build around it.
Through this connection, suitable artists may be considered for performances, showcases, collaborations and other initiatives.
Studio sessions, artwork, release campaigns and the nights where the music lands. Photos from the CAVE 28 feed; label news on @c28records.
Coming to this feed: studio sessions, behind the track, artwork creation, artist interviews, release announcements, event performances, campaign previews.
Our approach is flexible. The services, investment, promotional activities, release arrangements and opportunities available to an artist depend on the project, artistic direction, resources and mutually agreed terms.
Mixing, mastering, artwork, advertising and other support may be arranged differently for each release.
Costs and investment are discussed before work begins.
Release and collaboration terms are agreed individually.
Booking opportunities remain selective.
No particular commercial result is guaranteed.
Questions.
What genres does C28 RECORDS accept?
We focus on electronic music that fits the label’s artistic direction and the underground culture around CAVE 28. Each submission is evaluated individually, so not every genre or submission will be a fit.
How do I submit a demo?
Use the submission form on this page. If you can’t use the form, email your music link and a short introduction to info@cave28.com.
Do I need to be an established artist?
No. You can introduce yourself at any stage of your career. Selection depends on the music, the project and the label’s direction.
Can C28 RECORDS help with artwork?
Artwork and visual identity support may be available, depending on the project and the agreed scope.
Do you provide mixing and mastering?
Support may be arranged directly or through external professionals, depending on the track, the project and availability.
Will C28 RECORDS promote my release?
Promotional activities depend on the release plan, available resources and the individual agreement. No specific reach or outcome is guaranteed.
Can I perform at CAVE 28 events?
Suitable artists may be considered through curated selection, association with C28 RECORDS releases, or open applications for selected events. A release does not guarantee a booking.
Are your services free?
Costs and investment are discussed case by case. Depending on the project, the label may invest in selected activities, coordinate paid services or agree on shared costs. Anything like this is agreed before work begins.
Do you sign exclusive agreements?
Arrangements depend on the artist and the project. Specific terms are agreed and documented individually.
How long does it take to receive a response?
Submissions are reviewed as availability allows and according to the label’s selection process. We get in touch when a project fits what we are looking for.
