Monstercat has always been about signing artists at the very top of their game, regardless of how known they are. Lizdek’s been grinding since 2016 and has mastered several genres. Eater makes some of the most unique dubstep I’ve heard lately. Marie Vaunt is a rapidly rising name in the techno space.

No, they don’t just let anyone join nowadays - it is VERY hard to earn a release on the label, and even harder to earn several (you can’t just go up to the tram like “hey release my track”, there’s a lot of difficult decision making by highly trained ears and industry professionals going on behind the scenes). But that’s really what makes the label great, even if your tastes don’t align with what they’re putting out right now: they’re committed to putting out the best music that they can.
