Aureum is your record label, what are the editorial lines you follow in your publications? How can an artist send you his work?

we are looking for artists that don’t follow trends or make formulated stuff. We always look for innovative dance music. Send demos to info@bruceleroys.com

When we see in some of your publications Aureum Remix, who is the one behind this work?

Bruce Leroys ourselves, this serves as our signature for exclusive remix work on the record label. Collaborating with the original creators, we credit Bruce Leroys as co-authors, distinctly marking Aureum as our exclusive remix.

And what news can you anticipate for 2024?

Our focus in 2023 was on releasing our own content. Moving into 2024, our aim is to expand our reach, collaborating with other labels (soon we will release on Razor n Tape, for exemple). Additionally, we’re keen on exploring talents globally, not limiting ourselves to just Brazilian artists.
