SPES Undergrounds is more than a label; it's a collective. We foster a powerful network where artists, producers, and creatives connect, collaborate, and elevate each other. By building a dedicated community of fans and industry allies, we create a self-sustaining ecosystem that amplifies every release and reinforces the cultural significance of our artists' work.
SPES Undergrounds was founded by AJ "PAPED" E. Alejo (Producer, Artists, IT) in 2023. Initially conceived as a clothing brand, the vision for SPES transformed when its founder accepted an opportunity abroad. This shift inspired a strategic pivot to a model that could be built remotely yet remain deeply connected to creativity. Recognizing a greater need to support artists directly, AJ channeled the original ethos of SPES into a new venture: a record label dedicated to nurturing musical talent from the ground up. Thus, SPES evolved from a concept in apparel into a mission—to build a remote-first, artist-centric incubator for the most authentic voices in the underground.
