Purple Theory Records

Send us your music

Demo submissions are closed right now. We have more music lined up than we can release well, and we would rather not let good demos sit unanswered. Follow us on Instagram or Bandcamp, or leave your address by the star below, and we will say so when they open again.

Demos · closed for now

Not yet.

Hold the star and it glows, then goes out again. When it burns on its own, demos are open.

The weekly letter with the releases, and the news when demos open.

What we look for

Lofi, jazz, ambient and instrumental beats, and the places between them. We look for creativity, authenticity, craft and personality. We care more about feel and detail than polish. A track that sounds like one person's afternoon beats a track that sounds like everyone's.

Real instruments are welcome, and so are samples, as long as they are cleared. No AI-generated music, in whole or in part.

Have a look at the catalogue first. If your music would sit comfortably next to three or four of those records, you are in the right place.

What to send, when we reopen

  • One to three finished tracks as private streaming links, SoundCloud or similar. We do not open Google Drive, Dropbox or WeTransfer links, and no attachments or zip files.
  • If you are pitching an EP or an album, send the two or three tracks that carry it. We will ask for the rest if we want to hear more.
  • A line or two about you and the music. Where you are, what it was made with, whether it is a single, an EP or an album.
  • Links to where we can hear more, if there is more.

Unreleased music only. We listen to what comes in, but we are a small crew and cannot answer everyone.
