Browse All LabelsIndie Dance labels represent a vital part of the electronic music ecosystem, signing and developing artists who are pushing the boundaries of the genre. The labels in this directory are ranked by real chart performance data from Beatport and Traxsource — reflecting which labels consistently produce music that resonates with DJs, selectors, and listeners worldwide.
What Indie Dance Labels Look For
Indie Dance A&Rs evaluate demos on production quality, originality, and fit with their catalog. Your track needs to be fully produced and mixed to a professional standard before submission. Research the label's recent releases carefully — understanding their sound is the single most important preparation you can do before submitting.
Submission Tips
When submitting to Indie Dance labels, personalise your message. Reference a specific recent release from the label, explain why your track fits their aesthetic, and keep your pitch to three or four sentences. Generic mass-submission messages are easy to identify and will not receive the same consideration as personalised submissions.

Correspondant is the ongoing enterprise of Jennifer Cardini, established in 2011 in conjunction with renowned worldwide distributor, Kompakt Records. Cardini has built a reputation for sourcing on-the-pulse, progressive sound, having dedicated over two decades to electronic music. The producer, sound designer, and DJ launched Correspondant Music as an extension of her longtime residency by the same name at the preeminent Rex Club in Paris. To date, the Cologne-based label has issued 36 EPs and three compilations, featuring a loose collective of both emerging and established international artists. Correspondant also hosts regular nights in international clubs, including Rex Club in Paris, Nitsa Barcelona, Fabric in London, and Bootleg in Tel Aviv. The label has cultivated a simultaneously elegant and asymmetrical aesthetic profile, inspired by the downtempo, cinematic mixing of Cardini’s warm-up sets at Rex. The year 2015 will see a brace of new signees bringing fresh approaches to production, further emphasizing the eclectic range of Cardini’s curation and the label head’s personal policy: any well-executed, compelling new sound is a Correspondant contender, irrespective of mainstream market inclinations in dance music. New projects forecast for the forthcoming year include the development of a Correspondant booking agency and a series of full-length albums for label artists. Correspondant by Jennifer Cardini
