Parallel Detroit is an upcoming digital label based in Windsor, ON, Canada, parallel to the U.S. industrial city and epicentre of Techno, Detroit Michigan. This label aims to curate the finest sounds of the underground electronic music culture with a finesse for analog gear and hardware machines. An emphasis on Elektron hardware will see burgeoning electronic artists’ work to an audience abroad.
The label is looking to release electronic music of the underground variety; Electro, Electronic, Experimental, and Techno being the focus of the label’s vision. We would like to release artists familiar with the Elektron boxes as many of you are passionate and sincere in the music you produce, and nothing quite sounds like an Elektron.
If you feel that you have unreleased music sitting around waiting for the opportunity to reach an audience outside of a select few, submit your demos to paralleldetroit@gmail.com
The label plans to launch in early 2016 and will release on Bandcamp and various merchant sites through digital distribution. For all inquires and demo submissions, send your concerns to paralleldetroit@gmail.com
We’re quite new and not established enough to offer premium artist services, and we’re not an artist management company, but we will offer basic promotion and distribution of music through Bandcamp, iTunes, Spotify, Tidal - the usual channels, and then eventually Beatport. All sales/profits are split 50/50 between the label and artist.
