They will work with a wide range of vocalists—singers, rappers, screamers—who will each deliver their unique renditions. This approach not only avoids the challenges of sample clearance but also allows DSR to release these tracks as cover songs, much like rock bands have done. The project seeks to bring underground talent to the mainstream while offering a new take on familiar tunes.

When submitting tracks, DirtySnatcha advises comparing your music to the label’s releases in terms of mastering quality. If you need professional mastering or mixing, be upfront about it, but ensure your track is prepared for the process. Additionally, being marketable is crucial.
Beyond having great music, artists should provide information about themselves, including their career activities, supporters, catalog, and any performances they’ve done. This will help the label market your release effectively.
Finally, artists should focus on creating content that can be used to promote their music, ensuring they have materials ready for marketing campaigns.

This means actively promoting your work, staying dedicated, and not being afraid to take risks. Building a strong online presence is essential, as social media can help connect you to a wider audience and open doors to new opportunities in the music industry.” – says DirtySnatcha
