About
A small label that behaves like a good partner.
We started Asparagusproject because dance music moves faster than most labels do. A track can be finished on Sunday and played out on Friday, and the release process should keep up with that instead of getting in the way.
So we kept the label light. You don't wait for anyone to open a submission window — you sign in, upload the record, set the date and watch it go out. We take care of the delivery, the metadata, the codes and the splits, and we're on the other end of the chat when something needs a human.
You keep your rights
Masters stay yours. No exclusivity traps, no locked-in back catalogue.
Release on your own schedule
The dashboard is open around the clock. Pick a date and it ships.
Splits paid to everyone
Co-producers, vocalists and remixers are paid directly from the release.
Music
Distribution for your own tracks.
Your original productions go out to the shops and streaming services that matter for dance music — Spotify, Apple Music, Beatport, Traxsource, Amazon, Deezer, YouTube Music, Tidal, plus the short-form platforms where tracks get discovered.
The dashboard prepares the release the way stores expect it: correct genre and BPM data, ISRC and UPC codes, artwork checked against store rules before you submit, and release dates set far enough ahead for playlist pitching and pre-saves.
- Singles, EPs, albums and remix packages
- ISRC and UPC codes issued for you at no extra cost
- Royalty splits set per track, paid straight to each contributor
- Pre-save and pre-order links ready before the release date
- Content ID and short-form platforms if you want them
What to have ready: a WAV master at 16-bit/44.1 kHz or better, square artwork of at least 3000×3000 px, and the names of everyone who worked on the track.
Covers
Cover versions, licensed properly.
A club edit of a song you love is one of the fastest ways to reach new listeners — as long as the licensing is done before the release goes out. Stores now check covers carefully, and an unlicensed one is taken down and can put the rest of your catalogue at risk.
We handle that part. In the dashboard you name the original song and the territories you want, we clear the mechanical licence for the composition and register the release so the original writers get paid while your recording stays yours.
Licence cleared first
The release date is set only after the cover is cleared for the stores you need.
Metadata that passes review
Original writers credited correctly, so the release isn't rejected on delivery.
Your recording, your master
The licence covers the song. The recording you made stays under your name.
- Faithful covers and club or remix-style reworks
- Instrumental versions and edits of well-known songs
What we can't clear: releases that change the lyrics or the melody, samples lifted from the original recording, or covers of songs whose rights holders refuse licensing. Run the song through the clearance check before you spend studio time on it.
AI music
AI-assisted releases, without the takedowns.
Generative tools are part of how electronic music is made now. Stores don't ban them — they ask for honesty about them, and they remove releases that pretend to be something else. That is the line we work along.
We accept music made with AI as an instrument: generated stems you arranged and mixed, synth and drum parts from a model, AI-assisted mastering, generated vocals you have the right to use. You declare the AI involvement when you upload, and it travels with the release into every store's metadata.
- Tracks built from generated stems, loops or synth parts
- AI vocals from tools that license their output for commercial release
- AI-assisted mixing, mastering and stem separation
- Disclosure written into the release metadata for every store
What we turn down: voices or likenesses of real artists used without written permission, tracks uploaded straight from a generator with no work of your own, and bulk catalogues built to farm streams. Those get removed by the platforms anyway, and they take the artist's account down with them.
