We’re an independent label out of Denver. A home for innovative grooves and sounds in techno, hard house, and hypnotic. Created by Jaylen Hart ♥

Our mission is to support artists and culture through music and memories.

“To be creative means to be in love with life. You can be creative only if you love life enough that you want to enhance its beauty, you want to bring a little more music to it, a little more poetry to it, a little more dance to it.”

What we do for artists

You make the music. We do the parts that shouldn’t fall on you.

Release

Masters to release day. We coordinate artwork, get you on Bandcamp and every major streaming platform, and build a clear release plan with you.

Growth

We check Spotify, Apple, Bandcamp and SoundCloud every day. Save rates, Shazams, release windows. Every push timed for when it counts most.

Promotion

Release newsletter, social rollout, and organic pushes the platforms actually reward. No bots, no shortcuts, nothing you’d have to explain later.

Ownership

We master every release as part of our commitment to our artists. You approve and own your masters. Transparent terms without a lengthy lockup.

The release is the start, not the finish.
We watch the numbers. Streams, saves, listeners, Shazams, checked daily on every platform. We time the pushes. Effort goes in while the algorithmic window is open, not after it closes. We plan the next one. Momentum compounds, release over release.

A real release takes more than a distributor. That’s why we started KIK DRM.
