Foryourears.com - Underground music download service
FORYOUREARS.COM __ FRESH UNDERGROUND MUSIC COMING AT YOU
(Helsinki, Finland 03/2004) - For a demand, there is supply.
Foryourears.com will be the newest service opening in the digital
music markets. With plans to become one of the most important channels
for underground music - selling high-quality music in high-quality
MP3 format for an affordable price - the future for this Finnish
service looks bright!
***
Now that sale of digital music has become increasingly common in the
world we live in, public interest and high demand for quality electronic
music downloads have become obvious. Companies marketing and selling
digital music to consumers for an affordable price have also become a
groundbreaking invention - for example iTunes and the independent
company The Orchard are doing extremely well selling digital music files.
Foryourears.com provides a similar service, but different in that it
distributes music from independent and underground electronic music
labels. The service sells high-quality encoded MP3 music files that, once
purchased and downloaded, can be played back on your home computer,
burned on CD as audio and listened at home or played at your DJ gig.
The range of music that Foryourears.com offers is more askew towards
the more underground and uncommercial side of electronic music,
carefully selected state-of-the-art and especially fresh, for the needs of
those who want the latest and freshest in the world of electronic music.
The styles, or genres, of music range from downtempo to techno and from
electro to IDM and far beyond. And of course, quality always over
quantity. These are the principles that add up to the recipe that creates
customer satisfaction.
We are constantly looking for new labels to distribute - if your label
is interested, please do not hesitate to contact us!
After all, we are here for you.

FORYOUREARS.COM LAUNCHES IN JUNE 2004
(Helsinki, 24.5.2004) - Digital music shop Foryourears.com will launch on 14th June 2004. Foryourears.com is a pay-and-download music service that sells digitally encoded MP3 music files from independent electronic music labels directly to customers for the price of 0.99 EUR per track. The music files are not DRM-protected, which allows customers to listen to the tracks on any player capable of handling MP3 files, burn the tracks on a CD and use them in DJ sets.
The shop launches with full catalogues from five labels: Ural 13 Records (Finland), Kohvi Records (Estonia), Army of Sound (France), Metrotraks (Finland) and Symptom Records (Finland), with more labels joining in after the start. The shop concentrates on the more uncommercial and underground side of electronic music, offering music from downtempo to techno, from electro to IDM and far beyond, yet keeping a tight focus on quality.
Many of the independent electronic music labels are experiencing problems with traditional vinyl and CD sales and because of that, are on the look-out for new markets through digital music shops. The demand for pay-and-download services seems high among the Internet-savvy fans of electronic music. However, Foryourears.com managers are quick to note that "Digital distribution is hopefully going to live and flourish side by side with traditional formats such as vinyl, not kill them. Vinyl is still the most common format for techno and other underground music."
We expect that the digital sale of electronic music will gain new markets for labels and support vinyl sales by furthering Internet promotion of their artists and releases.
Soon they will listen
