Soundplate[1] is a London-based record label[2][3] and music platform [4]. Originally founded in 2010 by Matt Benn, Soundplate started as a website covering all aspects of dance music and all genres of the global scene therein. The aim of the site was to cover all genres without prejudice, to appeal to an audience of professional DJs and dance music fans.

Since 2017, Soundplate has also been developing a range of tools for music artists. These tools include:

  • play.soundplate.com[5] - 'playlist submission system' [6]where artists can submit music to hundreds of Spotify & Deezer playlists for free.
  • MusicFibre[7], a free directory of music industry resources, companies and services [8].

The Soundplate website also features interviews, articles, a frequently updated news section, reviews, competitions, music videos, video features, podcasts, event listings and a tickets section.

In the past, Soundplate has also hosted and streamed a dance music industry debate in July 2013 'The Soundplate Great Vinyl Debate'[9], an awards ceremony.[10] and previously provided a weekly chart for Ministry of Sound Radio [11]
