Is that 25% of profits or 25% of sale price?

50% seems to be standard for profits, which would equate to 25% of sale price because I think the stores like BP generally take what, 50%?

it doesnt matter, it wont be anything more than a nice meal at mcdonalds anyway. but banshee/bonzai will get u somehow exposed so just do it.
ive had one single and one remix over at thems, theyre cool people.

This sounds like a question you should be asking the label and not us.

Kysora is right. You should have asked your label contact.

Beatport pays out about 50% of the sales price on the site (excluding tax!). If there's a distributor party in between that party takes a nibble as well. Then of course the label. In the end you get left with a few cents.

Labels start taking bigger percentages these days too (which leaves less for the artist). Why? Because a lot of (new) artists seem to accept low percentages and because the label otherwise will seize to exist in no time because they don't earn a sufficient amount of cash. Either way it's crap.

I hope my new label (and it's interesting business model) will scare the shit out of some existing labels when it launches

good music, on a good label, sells.

bad music, on a bad label, likely wont.

how bout bad music on a good label, or good music on a bad label? what about that? u forgot about that.

Good music on a bad label generally under performs because of lack of marketing and word of mouth.

And bad music on a good label often sells more than the average track because of the bigger audience the label has.

so the trick is to mass-produce shitty tracks and get them on a "good" label? what is a good label today anyway?
