(Our approach)

A UK publishing administration company for independent catalogs

DARK LAB RECORDS PUBLISHING UK LTD is a music publishing administration company. We help songwriters, publishers, and labels professionalize catalog work: registrations, royalty tracking, analytics, and statements.

Digital-first admin, not a major-label deal

The companies independent writers compare — Songtrust, Sentric, TuneCore Publishing, CD Baby Pro — all sell a version of the same promise: collect composition royalties without taking the copyright. Dark Lab is built in that administration category, with a dashboard designed for the daily work of a catalog rather than a one-page marketing pitch.

We operate from London with a Canada office in Vancouver, supporting rights holders who need modern publishing administration across territories.

Fairness, independence, and a record you can show

Fairness means ownership records and royalty views that rights holders can understand. Independence means you keep control of the songs. Transparency means statuses, statements, and exports — not a black box with a brand name on it.

Our partner and network list includes industry bodies and collection-related organisations that independent music actually uses. Affiliations do not replace clean metadata. They sit alongside a product that keeps the catalog trustworthy.
