Those waiting for a recording contract these days maybe waiting a very long time. Already most labels are unlikely to take a risk on something that hasn't been seen to perform in its own right. This being the contradiction of the recording industry as it stands: The labels only want you when you don't need them. And what are they generally offering? "If we make money on your record, we'll take at least half of it. If not, don't worry, you can pay us back."

Selling your music online is becoming cheaper and easier and most importantly more profitable all the time. How we establish and provide distribution of your recordings online is not exclusive or costly, but it is time consuming in detail, and most effectively managed and maintained by someone who is aware of what is required - that's us.

Recouping the initial expense is unlikely to happen straight away - it can take up to 3 months before your music becomes available throughout the world on over 40 of the worlds biggest online music retailers including itunes, napster, cdbaby, amazon, and even trademe. We build a broad repertoire of points where your music is available giving you the freedom to release what you want, when you want, however it sounds, and charge what you like for it. true story.

We are currently establishing a comprehensive independent distribution for physical CD's within New Zealand and Australia in 2008.
