About Submerge

Submerge was established in 1992 by Mike Banks. It functioned as an administrative hub for Detroit’s independent dance music labels. As a manufacturer, it administrates the production of 12″ records, compact discs and merchandise. As a wholesale distributor, Submerge ships these products throughout the United States, Europe and the Far East. Retail stores can order these products from various retail distributors all over the world. The current line up of Submerge labels includes: SWEAT,  Red Planet, Dirt Tech, Yaxteq, Underground Resistance and many others. Submerge’s online e-store allows customers from every corner of the world to shop from the catalogs of Submerge labels and from other labels Somewhere In Detroit.
