Who masters your music?

We work with the very talented Pieter de Wagter at EQUUS. He’s the reason we sound good.

 

What is Forbidden Cuts?

Forbidden Cuts is actually three different things:

  • Our sister label, exclusively dedicated to the dancefloor;

  • The weekly radio show hosted by Mr. Mitsuhirato on PT national radio, also available on demand;

  • Our very first release, DT001.

 

We are usually fine with most non-commercial uses of our music IF you contact us requesting just that. However, we will not tolerate hate speech or any kind of discrimination. We believe in music uniting, not dividing.
For commercial uses, we control both master and publishing for most of our catalog, so just use the Contact Form and let us know what you’re looking for.

Do you accept demos?

We do, and we do our best to go through all of them regularly. To increase your odds of getting your material listened to, please make sure that you include a small paragraph introducing you and your music. We prefer links instead of attachments, so that our inbox is manageable. Also, please make sure that if you are emailing us, you're not also emailing 20 other labels in the same email - at least show us you care. We'll return the favor.
