Well i'll tell you something funny. I allready had everything to do a label for like 2 years now. But i really started my label this year because of a very surprised offer from a distribution who accidently spotted my tracks. That was 4 months ago. In these 4 months we only did some PR / promotion that a first release is comming up. Now everyone in the Benelux is waiting... and it won't matter how long it takes. I have 3 tracks of my own. The master sounds really great!! And now i'm waiting for a remix for one of my tracks. (the producer behind this is still a secret. sorry!!)


its not always the case of a big name appearing on the record for sales. if your record is an abselute belter and the distributers dont get it about enough, then it might not catch on. if you include somebody well known on a record it almost brings familiarity to the record.
Yes indeed. And it will help to get your records faster through the big distributions. Especially the ones in Germany. The biggest offers are over there. Half of the work is done for me, cause i have a good distribution behind me who works for the full 100% to promote my record all over.
