When AK Cartel launched in 2019 as part of G-Mafia Records, we set out to create music that inspired, energized, and brought people together. After three years away, we’re proud to return in 2025 with an even bigger mission.
This year, we’re not just releasing tracks; we’re supporting artists with management services and taking the AK Cartel vibe nationwide with a Label Party Tour in Brazil.
The music never stopped, and now, neither will we. Join us as we celebrate the power of sound and community.
Signature
AK Cartel’s been laying down the heat with over 50 tracks since 2019, repping Bass House and Tech House with style. Now in 2025 we’re open for new genres, actually ‘no genres’ .. only good music please! We’re all about scouting fresh talent and giving ‘em the tools to make waves. In 2025, we’re stepping it up—every track’s rocking our signature mastering. That’s right, straight-up pro vibes with the kind of creativity that turns heads.
When you see our name, you know it’s legit.
Prepping for the Drop
- Once your track’s mastered and polished, we’ll lock in the perfect release date to give it the spotlight it deserves.
- Our team creates next-level artwork that screams AK Cartel—recognizable from the jump, making sure your release stands out in any playlist.
- You’ll get a complete promo kit: videos for feed, story, YouTube, pre-saves, and covers for SoundCloud and Facebook.
Beatport Pre-Orders
- We set up your Beatport pre-order six weeks before the drop (because, yeah, Beatport’s rules). That means the process can take up to two months from mastering to release—but trust us, it’s worth the wait.
Hype Building
During this time, we’ll work with you to craft a standout press article for your track. One thing that really sells a release is having a strong story behind it—whether it’s about your tour, the inspiration for the track, or something unique that sets it apart. We’ll help you refine and polish that story so it hits just right. Once you approve, it’ll be ready to go live alongside your release.
Gearing Up Your Fanbase
No better feeling than seeing your fans hype your track before it even drops:
- We hook you up with a Spotify pre-save link to keep your followers locked in.
- And we don’t stop there—our Spotify pitching guide gives you tips to help get your track noticed by curators and into editorial playlists.
Release day is where the magic happens, and we’ve got you covered. From platforms to playlists, social media to blogs, we’ve already planned every move to make sure your release gets maximum exposure.
- Check everything’s live across all platforms—no missed spots.
- Your track gets placed in fixed partner playlists with 250k+ followers and sent to curators for additional boosts.
- SoundCloud Reposts with channels repping over 1M followers? Done.
- Instagram campaigns roll out across multiple profiles in the scene, racking up 200k+ organic views in a week or two.
- Blog posts go live, featuring the press article crafted during your pre-launch phase, ensuring your track gets noticed by fans and tastemakers alike.
- Real-time monitoring: We track your release using Songstats. If your track hits a chart or gains significant highlights, we’ll amplify the buzz by posting updates across our social media.
