About 8PM

8PM is a private artist management and booking agency for electronic music, founded in 2011. Fifteen years of management, booking, image and major-label release strategy — worldwide, with a roster kept confidential.

What we do

One team behind the artist — strategy, stages and story, handled end to end.
01

Artist Management

Artist management is the day-to-day direction and long-term strategy of an electronic-music artist’s career. 8PM handles the business so the artist can focus on the music — decisions, deals, calendar and team.

02

Booking & Touring

Booking is securing live dates — clubs, festivals and worldwide shows — and routing them into a coherent tour. 8PM negotiates fees and contract terms with promoters and venues, and builds the live story that grows an artist’s name.

03

Brand & Image

Brand and image direction is the coherent visual and editorial identity of an artist across artwork, photography and social media. 8PM builds a look that reads the same on a poster and on a phone.

04

Artist Development

Artist development is the long-term shaping of an emerging artist’s trajectory — from first records to a defined sound and audience. 8PM sets the positioning, the milestones and the people around the project.

05

PR & Press

PR and press is the work of placing an artist’s story with media, playlists and platforms. 8PM tells that story to the right rooms and turns moments into momentum.

06

Major-Label Release Strategy

A major-label release strategy is the plan that takes a record through a major label — Universal, Sony or another major — rather than independently: timing, sequencing, campaign and follow-through. 8PM draws on fifteen years of relationships with the majors to plan releases that land.

Method

01 — Discover

Listen first

Discovery is where 8PM starts from the artist — the sound, the ambition, what makes the project undeniable.

02 — Build

Set the frame

Building sets the frame: positioning, identity and a plan — the foundations a career can stand on.

03 — Amplify

Open the rooms

Amplifying opens the rooms: dates, releases and press moving together, each one feeding the next.

04 — Sustain

Keep it moving

Sustaining protects the long game — the audience, the brand and the momentum, beyond any single release.

Reach

Worldwide.
No borders.

Clubs & festivals Major-label releases Direct — artist to agency

Scope

8PM works in electronic music exclusively, and only as a management and booking agency. It is not a record label, not a ticketing or event-promotion company, and not a public directory of artists. It works alongside major labels — Universal, Sony and others — on release strategy for the artists it manages.

Its territory is worldwide, with no restriction: clubs, festivals and major-label releases, across electronic music scenes everywhere. The relationship is direct, artist to agency, and every booking, management, press and partnership enquiry goes to one address, now@8pm.agency.

We don’t publish our artists. Discretion is part of the service — our roster is shared privately, under NDA, on request.

Glossary

Artist manager
An artist manager represents a music artist’s career as a whole: contracts, releases, team, calendar and long-term strategy. The manager is the artist’s counterpart in every negotiation and is usually paid a share of the artist’s income rather than a fixed fee.
Booking agent
A booking agent secures an artist’s live performances. The agent negotiates fees and contract terms with promoters, festivals and venues, then routes the confirmed dates into a tour. A booking agent works on live activity; a manager works on the whole career.
Promoter
A promoter books, pays and markets a live event. The promoter carries the financial risk of the show — venue, fee, production and marketing — and is the counterparty a booking agent negotiates with.
Tour routing
Tour routing is the order and geography of an artist’s confirmed dates. Routing arranges shows so that travel, costs and rest days make sense across a whole run, instead of each date being taken in isolation.
Artist development
Artist development is the long-term shaping of an emerging artist: sound, positioning, audience and the team around the project. It runs before and alongside the first releases, rather than after them.
Major label
A major label is one of the three global recorded-music companies — Universal Music Group, Sony Music Entertainment and Warner Music Group — together with the imprints they own. Any label outside those three groups is independent.
Confidential roster
A confidential roster is a client list an agency deliberately does not publish. Names are disclosed privately, under a non-disclosure agreement, to a counterparty with a concrete reason to know. 8PM works this way.

Frequently asked questions

What does 8PM Agency do?
8PM is a private artist management and booking agency for electronic music, founded in 2011. It covers artist management, booking and touring, brand and image, artist development, PR and press, and major-label release strategy. It works worldwide.
What is the difference between a booking agency and an artist management agency?
A booking agency secures live performances: it negotiates fees and contract terms with promoters, festivals and venues, then routes those dates into a coherent tour. A management agency steers the artist’s overall career instead — releases, brand, press and long-term development. 8PM does both.
What is a major-label release strategy?
It is the plan that governs how a track or album is released through a major label — such as Universal or Sony — rather than independently: timing, single sequencing, territory priorities, playlist and radio positioning, and the alignment of live dates with the release calendar.
Why is the 8PM roster confidential?
Discretion is part of the service. 8PM does not publish artist names on its site; the roster is shared privately, under NDA, on request. This is a deliberate positioning choice, not an omission.
Where does 8PM work?
Worldwide, with no territory restriction — clubs, festivals and major-label releases, across electronic music scenes everywhere. The agency has operated on that basis since 2011.
Is 8PM a record label?
No. 8PM is an artist management and booking agency, not a record label, and not a ticketing or event-promotion company. It works alongside major labels — Universal, Sony and others — on release strategy for the artists it manages. Its focus is electronic music exclusively.
Does 8PM promote events or sell tickets?
No. 8PM is a management and booking agency: it secures and routes live dates for the artists it represents, and negotiates with the promoters who stage and market those events. It does not promote events itself and does not sell tickets.
What music genres does 8PM work with?
Electronic music exclusively. 8PM is not a genre-agnostic agency: management, booking, artist development and release strategy are all built for electronic-music artists, in clubs and at festivals worldwide.
Does 8PM sign new artists?
Yes. Artist development is one of 8PM’s six services, and each approach is reviewed individually. Booking and management enquiries go through now@8pm.agency.
How do you contact 8PM for a booking or management enquiry?
Every booking, management, press and partnership enquiry goes to now@8pm.agency. Each enquiry is reviewed individually.
