+1. Not to get all TA sicofantic but I've been a fan for years and never understood why Matthijs' stuff is not more well known :conf:
And to think he made all that on that DOS program ;) |

Not me :).
Topic title changed, feel free to boost my ego some more every now and then.
I've got hold of a few distributor names now (thank you) and am going to focus on the website/brand and branding for now. Not much will be happening on the surface though. Got myself 4 domain names, facebook, myspace, twitter and soundcloud as well so I'm all settled hehe. |

its damn satisfying running everything yourself! good luck :D
i just want my tracks on iTunes and Spotify now and i have everything i need (Using Tunecore for distribution isnt a good solution imo as it costs money). |

i'd offer help but i got my hook up through a non-traditional way and this person/company actually tries to hide the fact that they distribute for JOOF, Pharmacy, etc. You can probably find out on your own by looking around. Good luck getting accepted as a start up label. I had well established music and sales and still needed a very strong word from a close friend of his to close the deal as his initial was response was I wasn't worth the time.

Thanks,
I'm not too worried about that. At least not for now. First things first, I need to start up the online platform which every bit of succes I aim for is based on.
Should have a logo by within the next 2 weeks. Definitive website design in the next 4 or so. Programming I'll take care of myself. Around the time I put up the frontpage of the site (without revealing too much of the concept) I'll start with demos and hook up with some friends to get me some originals and remixes of well respected artists. I don't want this to be an average label so kicking this thing off is probably going to cost me dearly. Especially the first couple of releases.
Setting up the website alone will be more expensive than your average label makes in about 10 months :(. The releases will probably cost even more. But I want this to kick off properly. |

| That depends, allthough I have to agree. I currently work for a company that develops online and offline marketing campaigns for big international players and I'm just applying what I've learned there. I think I have interesting ways to gain lots of traffic on the label website and keep them locked in :). That and some key elements which I've never seen before... Interested? Well GTFO I ain't telling yet, but I'm positive this thing has potential. :D |
