About Sunlip
Sunlip is an independent record label that aims to encourage artists to branch out, pushing new sounds from and adjacent to the UK electronic underground.
As dance music increases in popularity and exposure to the mainstream, more 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.
This is also Sunlip's goal - but more specifically, we want to encourage up-and-coming artists to experiment with sounds they otherwise might not consider for release.
Subgenres such as speed garage, hard house and bootleg crowd-pleasers have blown up in popularity over the last few years, in turn benefitting from a lot more label coverage. Artists are incentivised to produce music that ‘fits in’, optimising for bigger audiences and commercial prospects.
Spaces for electronic producers need to exist that hold the artists at their core, encouraging experimentation and giving them room to create.
Original tracks that showcase their artist's unique sound - that's the music that Sunlip aims to encourage.
The Daybreak Compilations
The Daybreak Compilations will be a series of compilation albums, each curated to show off great electronic music from up-and-coming artists, in line with our mission as a label.
Sunlip's first release will be the first installment of the series: Daybreak 001.
We are excited to already be working with talented artists both internationally and from within the UK. Expect fresh tracks drawing from worldwide leftfield electronic influences.
We are still fielding submissions for the last few spots on the first compilation. See the section below for details on submitting your music!
Submit Your Tracks
Sunlip encourages submissions from 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 love music. It doesn't matter if you're new to producing, struggling with mixing, mastering 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 various sounds we're pursuing.
We maintain a Bandcamp playlist with more tracks that paint a picture of what we're going for, including the above tracks. Check it out: Sunlip Sound.
