ARIA Records is a collective for artists, producers, and hybrid creatives ready to do real work and build real music.
The collective is small on purpose: three musicians, chosen one at a time, each with the room, the time and the people behind them. Open a page to hear the work.
Dark R&B, made at the top of its niche.
LOSTK3V!N has produced multiple songs for the top artists in dark R&B, and at such a young age he sets the bar everyone around him works to match. He breaks the genre's boundaries, folding techniques and sounds from many others into something new.
Hundreds of thousands of streams, under other names.
Diego Di Angelo has made songs with hundreds of thousands of streams under other names. Now he is building a sound of his own under his new one, combining genres into new ones, with a voice built for the studio and the stage.
From behind the boards to the front of the record.
David Early has produced across many mainstream genres for many different artists, and now uses that range to make genres of his own. He sang background vocals on other people's songs; now his own voice is the front of the record.
Everyone listed on the ARIA Network, with their music and a page of their own here. Not signed, and not asking to be: listed by a person who listened.
ARIA Records was built on a single belief: when artists, producers, and hybrid creatives work inside a real network, with real equipment, real creative direction, and real relationships, the music they make is in a different class.
The studio is in Ormond Beach, Florida. The network is not. We work with artists wherever they are, and the room is there when you need a room. We are small by design and everyone here is working. If you are serious about your craft and ready to make music that actually moves people, whatever genre that lives in, this is your place.
Every member of the ARIA Records collective gets access to the space, the support and the network that most independent artists spend years trying to piece together on their own. Then there is the software, which is the part nobody expects: twenty-one tools of it, listed below.
Professional studio time in Ormond Beach, covering tracking, production, mixing, and mastering, in a space built for contemporary music production across all genres.
Work alongside other artists, producers, and hybrid creatives in the collective. Co-writes, joint sessions, and honest creative feedback from people who care about the music.
The ARIA Records team has opinions and will share them. From sonic identity to release strategy, you get a creative partner who wants your project to be great, not just done.
Distribution coordination, release planning, and support getting your music from session file to streaming platform in a way that reflects the quality of the work.
ARIA Records is a collective, not a vending machine. The relationships you build here, with the team and with other members, are the point. We grow together.
ARIA Records is not for everyone. It is for artists and producers who are deliberate about their sound, committed to quality, and ready to put in the work, whatever genre they work in.
This is the part that costs independent artists the most, and it is not a talent problem or a marketing problem. It is that nobody is told the money arrives in four separate places, from four bodies you have to register with individually.
Every one of those registrations is free and you can do all of them yourself in an evening. We would rather you did. The handbook is the whole list, and it is public. What the toolkit below does is make sure it actually happens, for every release, permanently.
Software we wrote ourselves for the half of the job that has nothing to do with music: the deadlines, the registrations, the paperwork and the money. Most artists lose more to this than to anything about their records. Every tool asks about you first and reads the same songs as the rest, so they work as one. Every member gets all of it, free; anybody can try each one on a demo at /tools.
Applying does not need a released record. A demo or a rough mix is a normal thing to send. If what you want is the room rather than the label, that is DJ Studio 37, and it books by the hour at /book/studio.
DJ Studio 37 in Ormond Beach is the creative home of ARIA Records, a professional recording and production space built for artists who demand a cinematic sonic environment.
None of this is secret and none of it is a scandal. It is just the arithmetic of a standard deal, and almost nobody sees it written down before they sign one.
The full arithmetic, with every step shown, is on the about page. What you can do about it, all of it free, none of it needing us, is in the handbook.
The collective is selective: a handful of musicians, chosen one at a time. If it is right, this is what comes with it.
A few minutes on where you are: what you release, how you collect, what it is costing you. Every application starts with it, so we know you before we listen, and you keep the list of what to fix whatever we say.
At the end of the scorecard, apply with it: your result, a link to the song you would want heard first, and anything you want to tell us. Unreleased and rough are fine.
