Monstercat (previously Monstercat Media) is an EDM record label based out of Vancouver, Canada. Mike Darlington, CEO, and Ari Paunonen, COO, founded Monstercat in July of 2011.
Unlike other labels that sign artists to exclusive label deals, Monstercat signs their artists on a per-track basis, giving them full copyright to a song while still giving the artists freedom to release other productions where they see fit.
Originally, Monstercat released three new tracks per week on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays with an hour-long podcast every Tuesday (entitled Monstercat: Call of the Wild, previously Monstercat Podcast).
In 2017, after thirty compilation albums (001 - 030), Monstercat unveiled a major branding titled Monstercat: Uncaged and compilation albums included a collaboration of veteran Monstercat artists, totaling 31 songs and an album mix per album.
Since 2018, with the inclusion of the brand Monstercat: Instinct, Monstercat uploads songs for Uncaged on Mondays and Thursdays, Instinct on Tuesdays and Fridays, and Call of the Wild is released every Wednesday. The number of songs released was decided by Instinct Vol. 1, which had 40 tracks and 2 album mixes. Since Uncaged Vol. 4, compilation albums only have one mix. That is the set amount for future compilation albums at this time.
