About Sunlip
Sunlip is an independent record label that aims to push music from less well-known artists and even newcomers to the scene who are experimenting with their own sounds, adjacent to the UK electronic underground (particularly the currently-booming UK garage scene).
As dance music increases in popularity and exposure to the mainstream, more young people are looking to contribute to the scene than ever before. Labels like ec2a, Buntai, and outhouse sounds have made it part of their mission to put newcomers on the map. For the most part this is Sunlip's goal, but more specific: we want to encourage newcomers to experiment with sounds they otherwise wouldn't consider for release.
At the core of our sound is the fun of the dance - there's already some really exciting focus on this in from other labels in the scene. Only some of the more 'fun' subgenres like speed garage and 140 crowd-pleasers have blown up in popularity in the last few years and have therefore benefitted from more label coverage. Newer producers might feel like they have to produce music that fits in to this newer, popular wave to get involved.
So, there's a gap in the market. We've all enjoyed sets that drop in surprises: cross-genre mixups, heavy 2-steppers dropped in amongst the 4x4, internationally-inspired grooves, and yes, creative bootlegs. Tracks that stand out, and leave an impression - that's the music that Sunlip aims to encourage artists to create.
Submit Your Tracks
Sunlip encourages submissions from literally everybody.
Check out the tracks we've selected as our target sound below. Even if you don't think your track fits the sound, send it through. We are open minded and just love music. It doesn't matter if you're new to producing and worried about the quality of your production, your mixing or anything inbetween, we want to hear them.
We have an always-reply policy, so even if you send tracks through that we don't end up deciding are a good fit for the label, we'll let you know - and give feedback if you're interested.
The Target Sound
Here are some tracks that we love, with the aim of showing off the sound we're pursuing - although this is not an exclusive list of styles at all.
Big shout-out to the artists.
