I guess... But Im signed to another label as well.. So it's.. Dilemma... Don't know how to explain it..
But Im'a send you a track for sure.. Cause you sound like a really nice guy and the bigger the better is really not always true with labels.. Better to be on something promising in the face of growth..
Not to sound like I take anything for granted, ofcourse... Just telling how I feel about labels and what my eventual preferences would really be.. |

| If your previous contract does not prohibit you to send demo's to another party (mostly referred to as options in a contract) you can do so without any problem :) |

I'll be looking for it. Just alias it if you decide you want to release it with Olympik. |

I use an aggregator. I used Label-Worx at first, who was unable to secure Beatport and gave me a few problems elsewhere.

We've been with LabelWorx for just over a year and they got us straight on Beatport, most other sites too. Good distributor imo |

| Nice. Wohelski doesn't like me for some reason, so I just backdoored it and went with Marnik (Bonzai/Banshee) and put on through through the European office. I probably shouldn't be saying this but the label manager at Beatport is not very friendly to say the least. 8 no's...yes.....8. One of them being an overnight feedexed portfolio that cost around $200 to make. He wouldn't even say why. "No"...."Not interested" - Me thinks he needs to get over the fact that he signed the chemical brothers two decades ago. I really like Jonas and BETA but I honestly wouldn't care if Beatport disappeared. They have for the most part monopolized online digital distribution of EDM. I can't even begin to tell you how hard it is to recruit artists without being on Beatport. Now it's the opposite. Kinda pisses me off. |

My experience of Olympik Records has been over my expectations so far. You can tell Wiley is very serious about his label, and I think it is a good place for my music.
My EP is out on several websites to buy and listen to. In only the peroid of about 1 year, i feel global. Wiley really wants you to succed, you can feel that.
Recently Olympik Records even concluded with Beatport, which is amazing, finally. Another thing i think is fun, is to see how the guys that got signed at the same time as me is progressing.
Olympik feels like a 'family' of support. I have sent my music to several labels in the past, almost always got the answer that the music is good 'but not our type of music'.
Olympik accepts (almost) everything, as long as it's good. Not all of my singles is of the same genre, but Wiley always seems to find a purpose with the tunes.
I just wanna say that, this label is really worth spreading a word for. You get quick feedback on mail, and I'm definately gonna stay on this label :) |

Sounds so good.. One thing I too like really good about your label Wiley is the "tear down genre barriers" thing.. Kinda lets me think it's ok to release tracks of different genres without having to change artist name and label, just for the fact that you are who you are and produce whats close to your heart right then and there.. Very appealing. Letting the artists be themselves, as long as it comes from the same heart. I believe its a sure winner in todays business, if you truly believe in that paradigm. We have more than enough "request instead of receive" type mindset labels.. |

| My experience with Olympic has been good so far. I believe Steven will do everything he can to promote my music. He has a direct line to some well known names in the EDM biz; Djs, producers, A&Rs. Relationships he has forged over the years. I've done a few remixes for Olympic, and just released an EP. It's really too early to say if I'm completely happy with the label or not, but I don't how I can lose. Steven communicates with the artists, works hard to promote, and gets releases out promptly. What more could you ask for. A lot of labels lack in those areas, even the major ones. I say give Olympic a shot. |
