How we source and verify label information

Every label page on SIGNR is an independent guide. We are not any label's submission portal, and sending a track to SIGNR is an analysis upload, never a submission to a label.

What we check before publishing

A label page goes live when we have checked the label's own official sources and the label publishes enough about itself to be useful. Where we opened a working official submission route ourselves, the page links to it. Where we could not, the page says “No verified public demo route found” and links to no address or form. A search result, a directory listing or another site's claim about a route is a lead, never proof, and never appears on a page as a route.

The last full round of checks ran on 2026-09-13. Every route on every page carries the date it was last opened. Rebuilding the site does not change those dates; only a new check does.

The difference between a door and an invitation

We separate two things that are easy to confuse. “Official demo portal found” means the route exists and we reached it. “Accepting demos” means the label itself says it wants submissions. A portal behind a login proves the first and not the second, and we will not upgrade one into the other.

We also use “unknown” as a real answer. A page we could not reach is unknown, not closed.

What we will not claim

We do not predict whether you will be signed, and an open route says nothing about how likely a label is to take on a new producer. Release genres and BPM ranges describe what a label has put out. They are not entry requirements, and a track outside a range is not automatically a mismatch.

How often we recheck

Submission routes and status: every 30 days. Slower facts such as who runs a label: every 90 days.

When a route passes that window, the page stays up and stays listed. What changes is what we are willing to say about it: we stop claiming the label is currently accepting demos, we show the date we last checked, and the link is labelled as the route we verified on that date rather than as a live one. An old check is worth less than a fresh one, and it is worth more than nothing.

If the official page we verified no longer resolves at all, the submission link comes off the page and we say plainly that we have no confirmed route right now. The rest of the sourced facts stay, because they are still true and still checkable.

A page only disappears for one of three reasons: the label is not in our published set, it is inactive, or the slug does not exist. Being overdue for a recheck is not one of them.

Corrections

If a destination is wrong or out of date, tell us and we will check it. Contact us. Corrections are made by rechecking the source, not by editing a date.

Coverage, and what is missing

We publish a small set of labels we can stand behind rather than every label we hold data on. Labels whose route we could not confirm are deliberately absent. That gap is the honest state of the evidence, not an oversight.
