"Since launching in 2002, Ingrooves has provided independent labels, artists and other content owners with tools that include analytics, rights management services, and marketing solutions.

As well as working towards a domestic roster, we're focused on continuing the development and building a local story around some of the recent signings out of the U.K. and U.S."[25] Dirty Hit went on to release another album for The 1975 following an Ingrooves contract renewal in 2021.

[26] Notable artists affiliated with Dirty Hit Records include Wolf Alice, The 1975, Beabadoobee, and Pale Waves, all of whom have garnered nominations or awards from prestigious institutions such as the Grammys, NME, and the Brits.

Beyond individual accolades, Dirty Hit's artists have collectively made a significant impact on the global music scene by performing at renowned festivals.
