Our Stance on AI in Music

LoudLode Records is built on human creativity. The groove, the late-night edit, the record that only one person or a collaboration could have made — that is what we exist to release.

AI-assisted production is welcome — with disclosure

We know producers use AI tools for mixing, mastering, stem separation, sound design and sparking ideas. That's fine. When you submit music to us, tell us clearly how and where AI was used. Honest disclosure is a condition of every signing.

Significant AI use goes to our AI-music imprint

Tracks where AI plays a significant role in the composition or performance are considered for our dedicated AI-music imprint rather than the main LoudLode catalog. This keeps both catalogs honest about what listeners are hearing.

100% AI-generated music is not supported

We do not sign, release or distribute music that is entirely AI-generated.

Distribution is a moving target

Stores and streaming platforms are still setting their own rules for AI music. Releases on our AI imprint may be distributed less widely than artist-created music, and we'll be upfront with artists about where their music can go.

We'll keep updating this

The industry is changing fast. We're watching it closely and will revise this policy as things stabilize.
