What would move it
- Fill out the low endFixes Tonal balance
The kick and bass carry less weight than most deep house tracks. Check them against a reference.
- Narrow the widest partsFixes Width & mono
Width is 60 %, above the 55 % most deep house tracks keep to. Narrow the widest synths a little.
- Keep the level where it isLeave alone
It sits in the deep house range. More limiting would cost punch, not add loudness.

Streaming & label circuit
Phase 1 · Months out
Indie labels reply in 2 to 6 weeks, bigger ones in 8 to 12, and silence after 3 months is a no. Start this phase well before your target release.

Best fit
Large melodic house label
UK · open to demos · replies in about 6 weeks
Tempo, harmony and stereo treatment are on their brief. Trim the breakdown before you send it.
Major label
- DJ-curated melodic imprintUS · open to demos · replies in about 4 weeks
Their club releases carry more sub weight, but the melodic shape and pacing match their tone.
Strong fitEstablished - Cosmic deep house labelEurope · demo inbox · replies in about 8 weeks
Leans more cosmic and longer form. The stereo work fits; the rhythm could push deeper for this roster.
Strong fitMajor - Deep and left-field house labelUK · open to demos · replies in about 5 weeks
On the deeper end of their range. A vocal sample or a darker synth layer would make the fit clearer.
Good fitEstablished - Afro house imprintEurope · open to demos · replies in about 3 weeks
Adjacent rather than central. The melodic content lands, but they expect Afro percussion this track does not carry.
Good fitMid-sized
In short
A spacious, melodic deep house track with a dynamic master that suits the genre. Two things would make it land harder: more weight below 60 Hz, and narrower reverb tails so the image folds to mono cleanly. The breakdown could also be shorter.

Level
Loudness, peaks, punch
Club level for deep house. Spotify turns it down 4.4 dB, nothing lost.
Dynamic and well judged for deep house.
- Measurement
Integrated loudness is -9.6 LUFS, true peak -1.2 dBTP, crest factor 10.4 dB.
- Measurement
The limiter is barely working and the breakdown sits well below the drops, which suits a track that breathes. Pushing it louder would cost the pluck its snap, and streaming would turn it down anyway.

- Worth a look
Tonal balance
Low end, mids, top
The low end is lighter than most deep house tracks.
Clean and open, with a low end lighter than most deep house.
- Worth a look
The sub sits 2.5 dB under the deep house reference.
Add a gentle low shelf on the kick or the bass and check it against a reference track on a full range system.
- Measurement
The mids are uncluttered and the top end opens up without sounding hyped. A little more sub weight would give the drops the body this sound needs in a club, without changing the rest of the balance.

Width & mono
Stereo, phase
Wider than most deep house tracks. Check the widest synths with a mono button.
A wide, spacious image, a little wider than most deep house.
- Worth a look
Stereo width is 60 %, above the 55 % most deep house tracks keep to. At its widest moment the phase correlation drops to 0.41.
High-pass the pad reverb and narrow its return in the low mids.
- Measurement
The kick and the bass are centred and the arpeggio delay gives the track its movement. Pulling in only the reverb tails keeps that space and makes the mono fold-down safe on club systems.

Arrangement
Intro, outro, sections
Intro and outro give DJs room to mix.
Room to mix at both ends, with a long breakdown.
- Measurement
Intro 32 bars, outro 16 bars, 6 sections.
- Measurement
The breakdown holds the same pad and arpeggio for a long time before the second drop. Trimming it, or lifting the harmony halfway through, would hold attention without touching the drops.

Groove
BPM, key, grid
122 BPM, F# minor.
122 BPM in F# minor, both read with high confidence.
- Measurement
Tempo confidence 95 %, key confidence 86 %.
- Measurement
The kick and the bass lock together cleanly. The offbeat shaker sits slightly ahead of the grid; quantising it at partial strength would keep the feel and lose the rush.
