How to Get Signed to STEREOHYPE — 2026 A&R Guide

How to Get Signed to STEREOHYPE
To get signed to STEREOHYPE you need a high-energy club record with a hook that hits fast. James Hype's London label has been one of the most consistent tech house desks since it launched in 2019, and it signs on impact rather than pedigree. This guide covers what the A&R wants, what the catalogue tells you, and how to submit.
The Label
STEREOHYPE is the London-based label founded by English DJ and producer James Hype in 2019, under the mantra "Moving Differently". It is a home for high-energy tech house, bass house and club-ready house — releasing James Hype's own singles alongside records from Tita Lau, R3WIRE, Adapter, Martin Ikin, DJ S.K.T, Josh Samuel and a widening roster of newer names.
The label's Clubworld compilation series is the clearest window into what it wants: a run of records that all do the same job — take a room from busy to full-throttle — while sounding distinct from each other.
Crucially for a producer, STEREOHYPE is still young and still growing. It accepts demos through LabelRadar and a production address, and it has signed a real number of previously-unknown producers. That combination — an active A&R and a label small enough to actually listen — is rarer than it sounds.
What STEREOHYPE's A&R Looks For
- Immediate energy. These records do not warm up. Within the first thirty seconds there should be a reason to keep listening.
- A bassline that carries the track. Tech house and bass house live or die here. A generic rolling bass is the most common reason a submission gets passed on.
- A hook, not just a groove. Something a DJ remembers after one play. It might be a vocal chop, a lead, a rhythmic trick — but it has to exist.
- Loud, clean, club-standard mix. The catalogue is mastered for big systems. A quiet or muddy mixdown will not survive next to it.
These labels take demos. Make sure yours gets an answer.

What the Catalogue Tells You
Listen through the recent releases and the last Clubworld volume before you send. The throughline is function with personality: every record works in a peak-time set, but none of them are anonymous.
Notice the boundaries. This is not a deep or hypnotic label — for that end, the deep house and minimal guides are better-matched lists. It is also not a festival main-stage label; if your record is big-room EDM, see the EDM labels guide. STEREOHYPE sits squarely in the club, and the broader tech house guide covers its nearest neighbours.
Your Submission Message
- Name a recent release and why yours sits next to it. With a young label, this is easy to do honestly and it shows immediately.
- Say where in a set it works. Peak-time, second-hour, the moment before the headliner — be specific.
- One track, fully mastered. Not an EP. Not three options.
- No hype. The label is called STEREOHYPE; it does not need yours.
