Augmented Reality Recordings accepts demos only in digital form, preferring links to MP3 files, SoundCloud pages, or websites rather than email attachments. The label asks artists to include contact details and keep submissions short, with best tracks first, and notes that it will only respond if interested. As a relatively young independent label, Augmented Reality Recordings operates in the global digital electronic music market, with a clear focus on the Dub Techno subgenre. Its releases are distributed digitally, and its online presence serves as the primary channel for promotion and artist discovery.

Augmented Reality Recordings was founded in early 2020 as a German electronic music label. From its inception, the label focused on Dub Techno, a subgenre of electronic music characterized by deep basslines, echoing chords, and atmospheric textures. The label positioned itself as an "immersive audio experience" and adopted a digital-first release strategy, offering high-quality digital releases by artists from around the world. By the mid-2020s, the label had built a roster of 17 artists, including Subchord, Felix Kowalski, Ilya Orange, Roman Ridder, Lars Leonhard, Krisz Deak, Wet Basement, and Giriu Dvasios. Its release schedule included a steady stream of singles, EPs, and albums, with notable titles such as "Isolation Dubs" by Subchord & Felix Kowalski (11 Mar 2022), "Surface Tension" by Deni Diezer (13 May 2022), "An Odyssey in Continuity" by Felix Kowalski (01 Sep 2023), "Maritime Coast" by Subchord, Esari Charles & more (08 Mar 2024), "Rhode Island" by Felix Kowalski (27 Sep 2024), and "Two Steps From Future" by Wet Basement (18 Oct 2024). The label's operations are managed by a small team listed on its About page: Marc Vasquez (Artist management & Direction – Label), Ben Dubmore (Artist management & Direction – Events), Isabel Chan (Management Administration), Mark Bergevin (Director – Finance & Administration), Michel Therrien (Administration & Merchandising), and Claude Julien (Accounting). Augmented Reality Recordings maintains an open demo policy, accepting digital submissions only. Artists are encouraged to send links to MP3 files, SoundCloud pages, or websites, rather than email attachments. The label requests that submissions be short, with best tracks first, and notes that it will only respond if interested. This approach reflects the label's digital-native orientation and its focus on efficient artist discovery. As of the available evidence, the label remains active, with its most recent release listed as "Two Steps From Future" by Wet Basement in October 2024. It operates independently and is not known to be part of a larger corporate group.
