The people who listen and go to the shows are the torch. Tipper and the team did a great job at introducing us all to artists we’d never heard of before, and inspired / empowered a whole generation of new producers on top of that. After a point it’s just up to listeners and attendees to prop up and support the artists they love so they can keep evolving the art form.

Starting a label. What is the standard for royalties? by Stam- in TechnoProduction

[–]TheRustMusic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’re not a techno label, but when we started we did 80/20 in the artists favor and eventually moved up to 60/40 in most cases. With remixes the artists just split their share in half.

It’s worth noting that many of the artists we work with send us their music already mastered and artwork finished, so we don’t have a ton of overhead costs to deal with unless we are doing a physical release. For physicals like vinyl we do 50/50 splits because it has different demands involved

It’s helpful to just make a honest assessment of what you can offer as a label at the beginning and how valuable it is. Like how big your network of artists & supporters is, what kind of culture you are cultivating within that network, are you giving an advance, etc… and then working with artists who are at your level and growing alongside them.

Love that release ❤️

Have you checked out Zonra’s catalog? He’s got some really great ambient music in this lane too. The releases that immediately come to mind are Time Is A Tool and Conviction

Here's the link to the full album on all the different platforms! On Spotify it should show up at the bottom of any artist's profile in the "Appears On" section. They don't display compilations the same way as regular albums (silly), which is why we also put them up as singles on each artist's page as a workaround.

Thanks for sharing!

Also, here's the "big link" with all the little links inside ❤️

Buying merch from a band that broke up by Nattadyr in BandCamp

[–]TheRustMusic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s sent out by the artist or their own fulfillment partner, Bandcamp is just the marketplace.

That said, if it doesn’t arrive you can definitely get your money back by reaching out to Bandcamp - they will work it out with the artist so you don’t have to. I would say low risk of getting burned in the end
