^^The fan page! Become a fan and get your updates!^^


A full release sheet and previews of the release will be out on the incomplete website. It is still under full construction!

For now:

FENTPLATED001 - Boxmouse - Bosporus/Gloss The Doors
FENTPLATED002 - Kochari - Deep Water/ The Truth
FENTPLATED003 - Blind Prophet - From within/Ravescraper
FENTPLATED004 - Dribbly - Spores/Ritual Dub
FENTPLATED005 - Seizure - Us EP
FENTPLATED006 - James Hk - Just Listen EP
FENTPLATED007 - Pedrom Tayefi - TBA



This is only for digital releases but once established I will be in search for the first vinyl releases which will be in January.

Check the new website:

http://www.fentplates.co.uk


I won't go into depth about what the label will do for you, the procedures involved etc etc as I'd prefer to adapt to your needs and talk privately and only after I've listened to the music and think it'll be suitable for the label!


Big up!

First release:

Usually got to wait a few moments before it loads up!

Thought i would post mine up as i like to go for that kind of chilled/ambient vibe. Some are already signed but more soon to come, hopefully improved alot on what i have so far.
A musician must make music, an artist must paint, a poet must write, if he is to be ultimately at peace with himself. What a man can be, he must be.

Could you PM me tracks which are not signed and in the morning I can check them on my monitors?

JemGrover wrote:Does the apply to electronic music/EDM only, mate?
Well kinda, Dubstep, Dub, Dubhouse, Chilled Uk Hiphop, EDM... that kind of stuff. ( This is kind of more from a legal point of view as I don't know the music law behind bands and stuff like that) So yeah, kind of electronic music only. But NO TRANCE!

All digital is just general chilled stuff. If it sounds good, then no matter who you are, it'll be released!

Vinyl releases are strictly dubstep.

Yeah the website is looking pretty shoddy at the minute. Within the next week stuff will be sorted out on there.

Here are 2 examples of tracks that have been signed.

Sorry for not being clearer but yes! Ambient MUSIC. Not strictly confined to a specific genre. Anything which sounds beautiful!



And to help me out here, could submissions please be sent via PM and specifically tracks that you would like to be released. I'm sorry if I'm sounding like a lazy penis. But it makes listening through demo's "to the point".

To everyone that has Pm'd me, I'll have a good sit down and listen to everything once I've had a good breakfast!

Just one thing. You said you have 3 forthcoming releases right ? Have you started promotion work on that ? Promo kit etc? Because i googled in the 1st release... and found only 2 pages. One here, 2th one is his S.C Page... (that does not look promising )
A brand new song!

Promo work has not started. These releases are not for anytime soon. Good few months away. First going to put together a list of artists and tracks to sign up and then the promo work will start up hard.

Basic A pm'd me something similar and I hammered the shit into him with the business's entire plan!

For now, I need a decent amount signed before I market!

Do you intend to sign tunes that will require sample clearance?

Preferably not. This will produce an even larger overhead so most that is signed has to be solely produced by the artist. The only samples used must be open to the public domain.

If a track is obviously outstanding then I have no issue in paying royalties for samples dependant on how much they are!

Isn't this being done in the opposite way?

Firstly I check out your music, and if I'm feeling it, I'll fill you in with everything you need to know and more.
