frequently asked questions

Below is a list of faqs. If you can't find an answer to your query here or elsewhere on the website then please contact us.

WHAT STYLE OF MUSIC DOES BOLTFISH RELEASE?
Details of the Boltfish style are given in the label page, but in short we consider electro, idm, glitch, electro-acoustic and some atmospheric compositions. If you're still uncertain, listen to our previous releases - they'll give you an idea.

IS BOLTFISH RECORDINGS SEEKING NEW ARTISTS?
We're always on the look out for new artists to add to our roster but we're often booked up for releases many months in advance. Send us a demo according to our guidelines and if we like it we may just consider it for release.

WHERE CAN I BUY BOLTFISH RELEASES?
All our releases are available to buy (from this site, through some online and real shops and via several digital download services such as Beatport.com). Physical releases are available as either CD-R or in some cases CD. View the "shop" page for more details. We also release some material via the Internet, free of charge.

WHERE SHOULD I SEND MY DEMO?
Contact details are given on both the A&R and contact pages, along with details of the type of artists/demos we are after.

I'VE SENT A DEMO BUT I HAVEN'T HEARD BACK FROM YOU, WHY?
We're pretty busy here at Boltfish, like so many other labels. We try and listen to every demo we receive but sometimes it can take a while amongst the other things we have on our plates. As such, please don't hassle us for replies. We aim to give an answer to every demo we receive, so if by some chance you don't hear from us for months it might just be that your email address or contact details weren't clear or they weren't on each item you sent. Follow our guidelines on the A&R pages and you should be fine.

I WANT TO REVIEW A BOLTFISH RELEASE - CAN I OBTAIN A CD OF IT?
Yes, for review purposes we will on occasion send out CD-Rs of our releases, and promo CDs in the case of full CD releases. We also have special press pages where MP3s of our forthcoming releases are available. Please contact us for further details.

DOES BOLTFISH GIVE OUT FREE RECORDS/CDs TO ANYONE ELSE?
Sorry, No. We're afraid we're not in the business of giving out free items such as this unless from a recognised reviewer. We just can't afford it kids.

I HAVE A WEBSITE, WILL YOU LINK TO ME?
You may contact us with your details for consideration but we do not add links to our website if we do not receive a reciprocal link. See contact page for details of who to send requests to.

I RUN A NIGHT/EVENT AND WISH TO BOOK A BOLTFISH ARTIST TO PLAY LIVE.
DO YOU DO THIS?

Yes, our artists all play live gigs. Please contact us for further details.

DO BOLTFISH ARTISTS REMIX OTHER ARTIST TRACKS OR WORK TO COMMISSIONED BRIEFS?
Yes, most Boltfish artists will consider remix & collaboration proposals and/or briefs for specified projects. Please contact us if you have something in mind.

I AM A VJ/VIDEO PRODUCER/ANIMATOR - CAN BOLTFISH USE MY SERVICES?
If you're a video producer/film-maker and are interested in producing visuals/videos to accompany Boltfish releases please feel free to send us a demo/showreel or contact us to discuss your ideas. Being a non-profit venture we chiefly offer publicity for you and your work alongside our music in return for your film-making efforts as well as the rights to distribute your finished work as part of your own showreel using our music (subject to approval).
