FAQ
If I only take one thing away from this FAQ, what should it be?
PLEASE DO NOT SUBMIT DEMOS. We will not consider unsolicited submissions for release under any circumstances.
How long have you been around?
Since 2005.
How can I find out about new releases?
By subscribing to this RSS feed, by signing up for our mailing list, or by “liking” this Facebook page, or following us on Twitter.
I signed up for the mailing list and never got any messages…
…because our list announces new releases only, which tend to happen every 6-8 months. Please be patient.
Why do you release cassettes?
Because it’s practical.
Can I place a hold on (title)?
Probably. Email with your contact information and the proposed duration of the hold (through the following Monday only, please). We reserve the right to terminate any hold with 24 hours notice, via email to the address from which the hold was requested.
What carriers and options are available for shipping?
USPS. Retail orders ship first class/first class international as appropriate. Wholesale orders ship via media mail with delivery confirmation. Alternate carriers are negotiable if required.
Please note before ordering that you are responsible for ALL additional handling charges, tariffs, etc imposed by the country of destination.
Do you offer wholesale rates?
Yes, based on quantity per title ordered. Email to discuss.
Do you accept demos?
No.
Do you provide promotional copies?
Currently not to reviewers. Small edition sizes (i.e. <300) make this less than practical. However, materials may be furnished to facilitate the writing of features. Email to discuss.
Do you trade?
Often, yes. Please email to discuss.
Where can I find a copy of (title)?
If we’re out of it, check the various distributors linked from this site, or try contacting the artist directly.
Will (title) be reissued?
Maybe. Please let us know if there’s something you’d like to see back in print.
What is your position on the sharing of Deception Island releases, (i.e., as mp3s)?
We ask that no one share rips of releases that are still available, whether from DI, from distros, or from artists.
Does the label still exist?
Yes, we’re just really busy.
Tell me about some of your forthcoming releases.
Not until they’re in production, sorry.
Will you link to my site?
No, unless you’re a distro that carries DI editions.
Have you ever been to Deception Island?
Of course not, but this might be a good time to mention that the first person to fund round-trip transportation for two persons will be compensated to the tune of a lifetime subscription to the label.
