For creators who care where their samples go

A curated marketplace where creators maintain ownership, earn on major artist placements, and can withdraw earnings daily.

How the terms work

What you earn, when you get it, and what stays yours.

What we love to see

100% original content
Everything you submit is yours. No interpolations you don't own.
Professional mix quality
Clean, well-balanced, ready to drop into a session.
Organized packs
Clear file structure. Stems included where it makes sense.
Risk takers
A distinctive signature. Sounds that stand out, not safe-sounding filler.
Styles we're thin on
Genres, moods, and sounds our catalog is missing.
Quality cover art
Pack aesthetics that match the sound inside.

What we don't like

Copyrighted content
Bootlegs, flips, or anything you don't own outright.
Third-party sounds
Uncleared samples pulled from other creators or libraries.
AI-generated audio
All sounds must be human-made.
Generic, playing-it-safe ideas
Packs that sound like everything else on the market.
No "wow" moments
Packs that never surprise or lift the listener.
Lack of variety
The same idea repeated across the whole pack.
