<p>Yesterday PRS For Music announced that the PRS Emergency Relief Fund has raised over £2.1m to help its members severely financially impacted by the coronavirus pandemic.</p>
<p>To further fundraising efforts and raise awareness of the PRS Emergency Relief Fund, <strong>PRS Presents</strong><strong> LCKDWN</strong>, a 24-hour virtual gig featuring over 50 artists took place online from midday (BST) on Friday 24 April. Viewers from more than 60 countries tuned in to see the likes of Tom Walker, Big Narstie, Alfie Boe, Nadia Rose, Joy Crookes, Katie Melua, Nitin Sawhney, Roachford, Linda Perry, Black Futures, KT Tunstall, D.J S.K.T, Oscar Jerome, Yizzy, Tim Wheeler (Ash) and Shadow Child perform.</p>
<p>More than £38,000 has generously been raised and donated to the PRS Emergency Relief Fund by the general public and <em>PRS for Music</em> staff, with other substantial donations coming from companies across the music industry.</p>
<p>Over half of all money raised for the PRS Emergency Relief Fund has been donated by the PRS Members’ Fund.</p>
<p> </p>
<blockquote>
<p><strong><em>“It has been inspiring to see so many people in our industry and beyond getting behind the PRS Emergency Relief Fund. The PRS Members’ Fund has provided support to songwriters and composers for over 80 years and we’re proud that we can continue to do so throughout this incredibly trying time for all.”</em></strong></p>
<p><strong>John Logan, General Secretary, PRS Members’ Fund</strong></p>
</blockquote>
<p> </p>
<blockquote>
<p><strong><em>“We have seen first-hand the difference the PRS Emergency Relief Fund has made and I would like to sincerely thank everyone who has donated so far. Our members are under threat as many parts of the music scene grind to a halt. They need to eat, support their families and pay rent – without industry support the future is challenging during this terrible time. Together we can get through this.”</em></strong></p>
<p><strong>Andrea C. Martin, CEO, <em>PRS for Music</em></strong></p>
</blockquote>
<p> </p>
<blockquote>
<p><strong><em>“The PRS Emergency Relief Fund has helped thousands of music creators since the pandemic began. Thank you, PRS, for helping to keep music alive.”</em></strong></p>
<p><strong>Matt Lucas, <em>PRS for Music</em> member, actor, comedian, and writer</strong></p>
</blockquote>
<p> </p>
<blockquote>
<p><strong><em>“Thank you so, so much! I can’t tell you just how much this support means at the moment… truly grateful to PRS and all who’ve enabled this fund. It’s really going to make a difference at this time. Sincere thanks and fond regards – stay safe!”</em></strong></p>
<p><strong>Emergency Relief Fund recipient</strong></p>
</blockquote>
<p> </p>
<p>The PRS Members’ Fund is financially supporting the wider PRS Emergency Relief Fund to extend help and support for songwriters and composers who find the current lockdown situation gives many kinds of financial hardship.</p>
<p>Our team at the Fund will still be carrying out the normal work with mental health support, career change advice and helping those members who need our financial support on a regular basis.</p>

Taking care: guidance on looking after your mental health in a crisis.
<blockquote><p><em><strong>‘Very few things are rigid and fixed in stone – take a cue from nature when going out on your daily walk – look closely at the emerging life all around. Take heart, that this too will pass and another season will emerge.’</strong></em></p></blockquote>
<p> </p>
<p>In this series, <a href="https://www.prsformusic.com/m-magazine/features/taking-care-prs-members-fund/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">‘Taking Care’</a> PRS M-Magazine will be handing the reins over to mental health and wellness experts who will share their wisdom on looking after your mental wellness during strange and uncharted times such as these.</p>
<p><img src="https://www.prsmembersfund.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Athena-Pite-530x800.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" height="284" width="188" /></p>
<p>The first participant is Athena Pite. Athena is a welfare and development officer for the PRS Members’ Fund, a registered social worker and mental health first aider.</p>
<p>The PRS Members’ Fund provide support and advice to <em>PRS for Music </em>members and their families who are struggling financially, physically or emotionally and are in need of help.</p>
<p>‘Discordant notes, harmony, melody and cadence disrupted, jarred like the rhythm and routine of our lives. Stuck, beats on hold, literally going nowhere; chords of our usual activities hung, suspended – no end in sight, tension mounting.</p>
<p>‘All of us will respond and experience the current situation in different ways. There’s often though a visceral as well as cognitive reaction to change that is below conscious awareness, and this particular change has been dramatic, thrust upon us quickly, with no real period of transition or adjustment.</p>
<p>‘We’re likely to experience an ebb and flow of thoughts and feelings more acutely than usual – sad, anxious, angry – whatever, they’re all completely natural human reactions.</p>
<p>‘The physical and ‘mind-space’ we find ourselves in may highlight aspects of our lives, prompting us to take a different view. For some, this can be acutely painful as the arising thoughts and feelings are faced, perhaps for the first time. If we hadn’t realised they’d been hidden, it can be like a light suddenly illuminating a darkened corner of a room, with all the glare that entails! These experiences can be compounded if we live alone or have sometimes struggled to take care of our mental wellbeing.</p>
<p>‘It can be hard not to judge or push them away. When we find ourselves wanting to do this – as we frequently will – pause and consciously take a few breathes. Become aware of the connection of your feet to the ground, your posture and the areas against which your body makes contact – it only takes a few moments. Then, ‘look’ again at what you see – but this time as an invitation to sit gently with whatever arises. If our approach can be one of enquiry and interest, rather than defence, we may find our initial reaction lessening. What we’re seeking to create is a connection with ourselves that is rooted in self kindness and compassion for anything we experience. There are many excellent and <a class="link--external" href="https://insighttimer.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">free apps</a> that can help you practice this.</p>
<p> </p>
<blockquote>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">‘Take frequent moments throughout the day to check in with yourself.’</h2>
</blockquote>
<p>‘You might wish to spend some time reflecting on what has been revealed. As songwriters and composers, with a strong connection to inner creativity, you may feel moved to express your insights in another form – writing, painting or dancing for yourself as a means of discovery and adventure.</p>
<p>‘It’s also important for us to find different and positive ways to connect with each other, whether through social media platforms as well as picking up the phone to talk with friends and family.</p>
<p>‘Take frequent moments throughout the day to check in with yourself. Days may vary, sometimes it just might all feel a bit too much, and that’s okay. Limit your exposure to the news, whilst still keeping informed. Find a basic routine that works for you. Change and adapt according to what you need. Very few things are rigid and fixed in stone – take a cue from nature when going out on your daily walk – look closely at the emerging life all around. Take heart that this too will pass and another season will emerge.’</p>
<p>Last week, in partnership with <em>PRS for Music</em> and PRS Foundation, the Members’ Fund launched an Emergency Relief Fund. The fund is designed to help those facing significant financial pressure as a result of the coronavirus outbreak. It is available to writer members who have been a PRS member for at least two years and have earnt over £500 in royalties.

Emergency Relief Fund
<p><strong>Money to support songwriters and composers during unprecedented times of hardship</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><em>PRS for Music </em>today announced an immediate <strong>PRS Emergency Relief Fund</strong> to support its members during the Coronavirus pandemic. In partnership with the <strong>PRS Members’ Fund</strong> and <strong>PRS Foundation</strong>, the money will be available to PRS members around the world who are facing significant financial pressure as we battle the virus.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The live industry has halted globally, television and film production is on hold and businesses are closing, causing a dramatic reduction in music used. Collectively the livelihoods of creators, many of whom are freelance or small businesses themselves, are at significant risk during this crisis.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>While the government has offered assistance to businesses and has promised more targeted measures for freelancers, PRS members are experiencing great hardship right now.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The new fund is open to all PRS members around the world who have been a member for at least two years and earned over £500 in the last two years. Grants will be awarded based on assessment of individual need and applicants will receive support up to a value of £1000.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Establishing this new PRS Fund is part of a wider plan to support members during the coming weeks, with further measures being explored.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Andrea C. Martin, Chief Executive Officer, <em>PRS for Music,</em> </strong>said: “<em>Our members are under threat as many parts of the music scene grind to a halt. They look to PRS for leadership, for support and to be the best and most trusted collecting society in the world. Members need to eat, support their families and pay rents – without industry support the future is challenging during this terrible time. Together we can get through this.</em>”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>PRS members wishing to <strong>apply for an Emergency Relief Fund</strong> grant can find more details at <a href="http://www.prsformusic.com/ERF" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>www.prsformusic.com/ERF</strong></a></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Grant applications will be live from <strong><u>9am on Thursday 26 March 2020</u></strong>.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Money has been diverted to the PRS Emergency Relief Fund from paused, cancelled or postponed activities. Support has also been identified from the PRS Members’ Fund and PRS Foundation; two organisations with deep experience in helping those starting out in their creative careers and those in need. The scheme will be administered using the PRS Members’ Fund established grants model.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>John Logan, General Secretary, PRS Members’ Fund,</strong> added: “<em>Never before has there been a greater need for the services the Fund offers. This is what we do for creators every year, and I’m heartened the team at PRS have enabled us to do even more at this unprecedented time</em>.”</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Joe Frankland, Chief Executive Officer, PRS Foundation,</strong> added: <em>“The heightened concern for music creators’ livelihood increases our collective will to work harder and collaborate more to lessen the strain of this global crisis so we can ensure UK talent can thrive in the future.”</em></p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>PRS Chairman and Managing Director/European President of peermusic Nigel Elderton,</strong> added: “<em>Andrea, John and Joe and the team have the full support of the PRS Board during this difficult time. Our members have immediate need for assistance and it’s the right thing to do to support them. The music industry must come together to support its future during this period of national crisis</em>.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Royalty payments to members will be unaffected by the establishment of the <strong>PRS Emergency Relief Fund</strong>. The entire PRS team is focussed on processing and paying royalties to members as normal. <strong>To date, <u>distributions will not be affected, and April’s payment will proceed as usual</u></strong>.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><em>PRS for Music </em>is working in partnership with the wider industry through UK Music to lobby government to further support creators and the creative sector to sustain support over the coming months.</p>
<p> </p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><em>“Sitting on the patio in the beautiful Dorset village of Bere Regis, looking south to a magnificent sunset, the village’s one thousand-year-old church and beyond towards the Purbeck hills and the Jurassic coast. Just out of my eyeline there are the village’s two pubs, shop and post office.</em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em><strong>‘Look at that, it’s Paradise isn’t it?’</strong> the words were spoken by one of this country’s great drummers.</em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>I live at Cyril Wood Court, a community of artists supported by the PRS Members’ Fund, which provides self-contained flats for PRS members who are retired or who have suffered from debilitating health issues. It was the brainchild of Cyril Wood, a founder of the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, who wanted to provide a heaven for artists deep in the Dorset countryside. As well as the flats, at the entrance to the complex there is a large music room containing a baby grand piano and a library of books and sheet music which can be used for rehearsals or as a meeting place and talking shop. The room even boasts a separate, fully fitted kitchen, which is in addition to the kitchens in the individual flats.</em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>But it’s not just musicians who inhabit Cyril Wood Court. There are also painters, writers and potters, who help create a unique atmosphere full of artistic endeavour. For these artists, there is a grade 2 listed barn, turned into a studio with awesome natural light and equipped for painting and making sculptures. Many of their works adorn the walls of the music room.</em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Such is the degree of mutual support, a number of PRS members at Cyril Wood Court have collaborated to continue their careers with new recordings and live performances. Some also started a guitar club which operates once a week in one of the village pubs to help local amateur guitarists.</em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>The physical infrastructure is managed by a charitable trust so there is no need to worry about maintenance, either of the flats themselves or the surrounding gardens. For any PRS member who is experiencing health problems and is over 55 years old, Cyril Wood Court could provide the ideal solution and a new lease of life.</em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>One of the country’s great drummers died a couple of months ago. It is good to know that in his later years he really was living in Paradise.”</em></p>

“One Love” Surgery February 2020
<p>Are you a PRS member? Are you struggling financially, physically or emotionally and are in need of help?</p>
<p>We want to show you some love this Friday…One Love! The Fund is holding its “One Love” Surgery <span class="_5mfr"><span class="_6qdm"><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11.2.0/72x72/1f498.png" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="?" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p>The surgery will consist in a one-to-one meeting. The objective is to provide a forum that will encourage those members working in the reggae community who need help to step forward and make their problem known to the Fund, in confidence. It will enable those who book personal appointments to find out how we can sometimes offer financial assistance and provide support.</p>

One Day Changes Lives 2020
<p><strong>ACO SHOWS NEARLY HALF A MILLION TURN TO CHARITIES FOR SUPPORT, INCLUDING BASIC ESSENTIALS</strong></p>
<p><strong>Grant-giving organisations, including PRS Members’ Fund, face increased demand for financial and non-financial aid within the music industry</strong></p>
<p><strong>Press release</strong></p>
<p><strong>January 2020</strong></p>
<p>While January often intensifies the difficulties that many people face financially and emotionally, new research has revealed that <strong>in 2019 nearly half a million people</strong> in the UK turned to charities for help, with PRS Members’ Fund supporting hundreds of its members.</p>
<p>National data from the Association of Charitable Organisations (ACO) shows the number of people seeking help from charities and benevolent funds because they have nowhere else to turn following an unexpected change in circumstances has risen over the last four years. PRS Members’ Fund experienced a <strong>13.5% increase</strong> in the number of grants paid to PRS members and their dependants, with support including housing advice, debt and budgetary management, crisis grants, mental health support, career change advice, physical health assessment and winter heating scheme.</p>
<p>The ACO represents more than 120 charities which, including PRS Members’ Fund, provide financial support in the form of grants and help thousands of people across the UK. A recent survey of members* showed more than <strong>100,000 people</strong> applied for financial help in the last financial year. When extrapolated across its entire membership base, it is estimated ACO member charities will have supported at least <strong>400,000 people in need</strong>. In 2015, the charities distributed more than £56million in grants. In comparison, this rose to <strong>more than £60million</strong> last year – £216million when applied to its entire membership base.</p>
<p>Over the last 10 years PRS Members’ Fund has awarded <strong>£5.08m in grants and loans. In 2019 awarded 1,106 grants totalling £450,000</strong> to help PRS members and their loved ones make it through difficult times.</p>
<p>The ACO is highlighting the work done by its member charities across the UK on 22 January 2020 by sharing the stories of people whose lives were turned around thanks to the support they received.</p>
<p>Its campaign, <strong>One Day Changes Lives</strong>, supported by PRS Members’ Fund, will show how an individual act of support granted by a charity one day can have a huge impact in improving someone’s life. Together, individual acts by ACO charities amount to a colossal positive impact on society.</p>
<p>Nicky Graham, chairman of the PRS Members’ Fund, said: <em>“</em><em>We receive many emails, letters and telephone calls from members, telling us what a huge difference the Fund’s support has made. Often this is about more than just our financial input. Our services are based on individual need to alleviate stressors and the Fund prides itself in supporting songwriters, composers and their families.”</em></p>
<p>Donal Watkin, Chief Executive at ACO, said: <em>“These figures show the increasing levels of support needed by people with nowhere else to turn. Today we’re highlighting the big difference our members make to people’s lives through financial and non-financial help, and the role charities continue to play in the UK.”</em></p>
<p>Those supported by the charities were driven into a crisis for reasons, including them or a family member facing sudden illness or disability, incurring costs for unexpected household repairs or bills, being unable to pay the high costs associated with a health condition, poor mental health, being involved in an accident, family breakdown, or redundancy.</p>
<p>Whilst ACO members are predominantly grant-making organisations, they also provide practical assistance, employment support, befriending services, and mental health and wellbeing support. Members are seeing an increase in supporting applicants with <strong>non-financial aid</strong>, rising from 60,584 people helped in 2015 to <strong>93,308 in 2018</strong>.</p>
<p>Help can include the purchasing of fridges, clothes and food, and support with the costs of childcare, healthcare and household bills. Some of the people supported needed help to buy wheelchairs, hearing aids, medical equipment and respite care. The charities also provide legal, debt and/or employment advice.</p>
<p><strong>Ashley Beedle</strong>, songwriter, composer and DJ, shared his experience with mental health and how the Fund helped him get back on track. Ashley has been affected by bipolar disorder since 2013, when symptoms began to impact his work and financial situation. When Ashley contacted the Fund, he was in dire straits, struggling to pay the rent and he had lost his creativity. With the input of our crisis fund and a home visit we stopped the downward spiral Ashley and his partner were in.</p>
<p><em>“I first approached the PRS Members’ Fund in 2017. I am what is classified as Bipolar 1, which is the worst. I found myself in a very poor financial situation as well.</em></p>
<p><em>The Fund gave me back my confidence</em><em>, which is very important because I was so low and I felt that if you like my musicality, what I did, it was dead!</em> <em>Things are tangible different now because I have regained my confidence, I have got back into making music in a very productive way and enjoy myself again, which is really where it’s at!” </em></p>
<p>PRS Members’ Fund is encouraging members of the public who have ever been helped by grant-giving charities to take part today and share examples of support on social media using the hashtag #OneDayChangesLives</p>

<p>The festive season can be joyous and fun, but for someone stressful and lonely. As a polarising time, winter put our mood lower than normal and especially who suffer of depression can find this period quite challenging. Some might not have a family or friends who are able to join and can feel incredibly lonely. The cold weather can be very challenging for elderly and homeless people that can even die as the result of freezing conditions.</p>

Universal credit and pensions: could you be missing out?
<p><strong>Tips for PIP! (Personal Independence Payments)</strong></p>
<p>Many of you tell us about the stress of completing PIP applications, attending assessment or reassessment, and problems with the appeals process. For useful advice and information on avoiding the main pitfalls, check out the links below:</p>
<p> </p>
<p><a href="http://manylemons.com/writing/your-bite-size-pip-application-part-1-7-tips-to-read-before-starting/">http://manylemons.com/writing/your-bite-size-pip-application-part-1-7-tips-to-read-before-starting/</a></p>
<p><a href="http://manylemons.com/writing/how-to-appeal-pip-gain-confidence-with-these-12-invaluable-tips/">http://manylemons.com/writing/how-to-appeal-pip-gain-confidence-with-these-12-invaluable-tips/</a></p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Universal Credit</strong></p>
<p>Most, if not all benefit applications now have to be done online, but not everyone is comfortable or feels confident in using the internet. If you, or anyone you know, would like face to face or over the phone support, contact the Citizens Advice Bureau’s ‘Help to Claim’ service, by phoning freephone 0800 144 8 444 (England), 08000 241 220 (Wales) and 0800 023 2581 (Scotland).</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Could you be missing out?! – Pension Credit</strong></p>
<p>If you receive a State Pension and are on a low income (below £167.25 per week (£255.25 for a couple), did you know you may be able to receive more money, by applying for Pension Credit (PC)?</p>
<p>The Guarantee Credit part of PC is designed to top up weekly income and claims can be backdated for 3 months. Pension Credit is part of the State Pension system, and although four million older people are entitled to receive it, Independent Age found that around a third of those eligible are not claiming.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>You don’t need to :</p>
<ul>
<li>have paid any National Insurance contributions</li>
<li>Savings under £10,000 are ignored,</li>
<li>It’s tax-free,</li>
<li>You can apply even if you still work</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>How to claim:</strong></p>
<p>It’s easy – call freephone 0800 99 1234, and staff will fill out the application form with you over the phone.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>What you’ll need when you call</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li>your National Insurance Number</li>
<li>information about your income, savings and investments</li>
<li>your bank account details</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Is it worth applying just for a few pounds?</strong></p>
<p>Definitely! Even if your income is just under the set amount, do apply, as there are additional benefits. For instance, free sight tests and vouchers towards spectacles or contact lenses, cold weather payment, plus help with NHS and dental costs and travel costs to hospital for NHS treatment.</p>
<p>Qualifying for PC might also mean you get more housing and/or council tax benefit.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>When to apply?</strong></p>
<p>If you already receive a pension, and you think you qualify, don’t delay! Claims are only backdated 3 months. If you have not yet reached retirement age, you can claim from 4 months beforehand.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Assistance from the Fund</strong></p>
<p>Imagine……</p>
<p>You’re doing well as a music creator; the work, although slow, has been steady on and off for a while. Then… unexpectedly, you fall ill, or find you have to take time out for different reasons.</p>
<p>You have numerous hospital appointments, are exhausted and find you have to cancel any work you do have.</p>
<p>Slowly, the money dries up. Your anxiety levels rocket as fast as your income plummets. You can’t sleep, you’re no longer finding it easy to talk with colleagues, friends or family.</p>
<p>Your credit card – if you have one – is maxed out, and you’re overdrawn at the bank. It’s becoming increasingly difficult to meet the bills or your rent. You’re worried that if the situation continues, you might be evicted. The circumstances are having a detrimental effect on both your physical and mental well-being.</p>
<p>You have little idea of what to do or where to turn.</p>
<p>If the above scenario, or something similar resonates with your own situation, this is where the Fund comes in and may be able to assist.</p>

How I spent my weekend
<p>There’s a meme over the past few years of putting different music into this clip from Friends:</p><iframe src="https://cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fembed%2FHAIp28mICOM%3Ffeature%3Doembed&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DHAIp28mICOM&image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FHAIp28mICOM%2Fhqdefault.jpg&key=a19fcc184b9711e1b4764040d3dc5c07&type=text%2Fhtml&schema=youtube" width="640" height="480" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"><a href="https://medium.com/media/6a1e66e415758b1b64f56588e3286faf/href">https://medium.com/media/6a1e66e415758b1b64f56588e3286faf/href</a></iframe><p>There are thousands of these videos online. They’re fun, and an easy way to get people to check out your music. To make one, artists had previously needed a video editing program.</p><p>I thought it would be fun to make the process easier. So this past weekend I built the “<strong>Marcel Generator</strong>.” It lets you make one of these videos, with your song, instantly & for free.</p><p>Check it out:<br><a href="https://distrokid.com/marcel">https://distrokid.com/marcel</a></p><p>A bunch of people have asked me how to works. So here’s the behind-the-scenes.</p><p>The entire process is automated, and takes about 1-minute per video.</p><p><strong>Step 1: Make the song shorter<br></strong>Our bots take whatever song the artist wants to use, and chops off everything after 30 seconds. Only 30 seconds of music is needed, and a smaller file makes the rest of the steps run faster.</p><figure><img src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/990/1*oiWag-exoQ4m50cpFtcmxA.png" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" /></figure><p><strong>Step 2: Turn down the volume<br></strong>Most songs are mastered to be very loud. But a song playing in a sitcom wouldn’t be at max volume — so the song is turned down by around 20%.</p><figure><img src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/892/1*CUM6tKPY3uUqBwuspETRWg.png" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" /></figure><p><strong>Step 3: Replace song in original video with new song</strong><br>The audio of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_X9fPauWfI">the original song</a> (“The Lion Sleeps Tonight”) is replaced with the new song.</p><figure><img src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*BGw5RH4r-PtVCPzurCqttg.png" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" /></figure><p><strong>Step 4: Add laugh track</strong><br>I think this is the most important step.</p><p>One of the things that makes previous versions of the Marcel meme seem unrealistic, is total silence under the music. On the TV show, there’s laughing, clapping, giggling, and room noise underneath the whole thing.</p><p>So I made a laugh-track, which syncs to the video, and is overlaid on top of the music. The laughing starts about 12-seconds in:</p><iframe src="https://cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fw.soundcloud.com%2Fplayer%2F%3Furl%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fapi.soundcloud.com%252Ftracks%252F710122624%26show_artwork%3Dtrue&url=https%3A%2F%2Fsoundcloud.com%2Fdistrokid%2Fmarcel-laugh-track&image=https%3A%2F%2Fi1.sndcdn.com%2Fartworks-000634580365-wkg85m-t500x500.jpg&key=a19fcc184b9711e1b4764040d3dc5c07&type=text%2Fhtml&schema=soundcloud" width="800" height="166" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"><a href="https://medium.com/media/579c3f15ae320db9e6e6f26c957d05bd/href">https://medium.com/media/579c3f15ae320db9e6e6f26c957d05bd/href</a></iframe><p>And voila! Marcel loves your song.</p><p>To make your own Marcel video, go to:<br><a href="https://distrokid.com/marcel">https://distrokid.com/marcel</a></p><p>This is free and available now to all DistroKid members.</p><p>Please enjoy, and thanks for reading!</p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=2e84f82eba7e" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" height="1" width="1" /><hr><p><a href="https://news.distrokid.com/marcel-2e84f82eba7e">How I spent my weekend</a> was originally published in <a href="https://news.distrokid.com">DistroKid News</a> on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.</p>

World Mental Health Day 2019
<p>This year the theme of the <strong>World Mental Health Day</strong> is <strong>suicide and suicide prevention</strong>.</p>
<p>Every year close to 800,000 people globally take their own life and there are many more people who attempt suicide. Death by suicide is listed in the top 20 causes of loss of life globally for people of all ages.</p>
<p><strong>World Mental Health Day is an opportunity for all of us to raise awareness of mental health issues and advocate against social stigma.</strong></p>
<p>The music industry has always been a volatile environment triggering vulnerabilities that can lead to mental health challenges and emotional breakdowns.</p>
<p><strong>Last year, </strong>we created a unique partnership with <strong>Help Musicians UK</strong> to provide dedicated mental health support to members through <a href="https://www.musicmindsmatter.org.uk/"><strong><em>Music Minds Matter</em></strong></a> – a free and confidential 24/7 mental health support line and service for the music industry.</p>
<p>PRS members can access counselling, cognitive behavioural therapy as well as emotional support or just a listening ear.</p>
<p>From September 2018 to April 2019, there were 18 composers and 51 songwriters who contacted the MMM service of which 7 composers and 21 songwriters went on to receive telephone or face-to-face counselling.</p>
<p>If you are struggling to cope, contact Music Minds Matter on 0808 802 8008 or email <a href="mailto:MMM@helpmusicians.org.uk">MMM@helpmusicians.org.uk</a> let them know you are a PRS member.</p>

Looking for space to work on your songwriting?
<p>In 2017 we announced a new scheme aimed at PRS members who may be struggling financially and in need of space to create or find respite, kindly funded by the<strong> </strong><a href="https://www.reckittarts.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Francis W Reckitt Arts Trust</strong></a><strong>.</strong> We’re thrilled to announce we’ve received a new round of funding to pass on to PRS members, with applications now re-opened for 2019/2020.</p>
<p>We gratefully acknowledge the financial support received from the <strong>Francis W Reckitt Arts Trust</strong> as a resource to offer opportunities to eligible PRS members, (those who would not otherwise be able to afford to do so), to enjoy time away from home in order to rest, recuperate, research, work on their music and songs (alone or in collaboration), rehearse, or simply have a short break.</p>
<p>Should this be suitable for you, there are a number of options that could be applicable. Whether it’s a local retreat for yourself to write perhaps, a holiday space with your band or others to try new songs, or even a trip to somewhere more peaceful than your own home in order to work on your writing – whatever it may be, do get in touch to learn more. In the last round we were pleased to help PRS members with accommodation in the Lake District, in Wales, in Paris, Brighton and many more.</p>
<p><strong><em>“The break gave me invaluable time and space and renewed energy, and renewed faith in my own work.”</em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em> </em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>“It has given me artistic satisfaction, improved my wellbeing and also led to some major business and career opportunities. I would just like to say how grateful I am for being part of the scheme, long may it continue.”</em></strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong><em>“I am so grateful that I was awarded the money because it allowed me to pursue an opportunity that I otherwise wouldn’t have been able to.”</em></strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Please note that our grant will only be used to cover board and lodging, it cannot go towards travel, studio hire or equipment purchase. You’ll be asked to fill out an application form and provide details of your potential trip. (Click here to download the <a href="https://www.prsmembersfund.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Retreats-Application-Form.docx">Retreats Application Form</a>)</p>
<p>For more information please call on <strong>020 3741 4067</strong> or email us at<strong> fund@prsformusic.com</strong></p>
<p>It’s worth noting that the PRS Members’ Fund offers a wide range of support to members, ex-members and their families. If you or someone you know is struggling in any way then do get in touch, we may be able to help. Every application is treated with the strictest of confidence.</p>
<p><strong>We hear you, we’re here for you.</strong></p>

A tribute to Marc Bolan
<p>Last week, Nicky Graham, Chairman of the Members’ Fund left a tribute at Marc Bolan’s memorial in Barnes, London, to commemorate 42 years since Marc’s sad passing. The memorial, donated by PRS in 1997, pays respects to Marc’s ‘outstanding contribution to British music’. The Fund is a beneficiary of Marc’s royalties, which has allowed us to help thousands of songwriters and composers in times of need.</p>

PRS Members’ Fund Rebrand Press Release
<p>You may have noticed something different about us? After months of hard work, we have finally created our new identity, which includes a <strong>change of name</strong>, a <strong>new</strong> <strong>logo </strong>and <strong>colours </strong>and a <strong>refreshed</strong> <strong>website</strong>. Our rebranding reflects the Fund’s growth, and more importantly, embraces the introduction of new services as the needs of PRS songwriters and composers change.</p>
<p>You’ll see the new look on our<strong> website</strong>, on our social media channels <a href="https://www.facebook.com/prsfund/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Facebook</strong></a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/prsfund" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Twitter</strong></a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/prsfund/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Instagram</strong></a>, and our new<strong> printed materials</strong>.</p>
<p><img src="https://www.prsmembersfund.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Look-Feel-800x560.png" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" height="560" width="800" /></p>
<p>We have reverted to our former name <strong>PRS Members’ Fund.</strong> We have widened the range of support services on offer. We have launched <strong>new partnerships</strong> to support qualifying PRS members who are experiencing difficult times. We converted<strong> from a Trust to a Charitable Incorporated Organisation</strong>, which was registered with the Charity commission on 24<sup>th</sup> January 2019 (1181735), changing our legal status as a body of Trustees.</p>
<p><strong>Our core</strong> <strong>values</strong> and <strong>mission</strong> remain the same: we understand that the career of a music creator can be very erratic, especially at a psychological and financial levels. We are here to support <strong>PRS</strong> <strong>songwriters</strong> and <strong>composers</strong>, the creative force at the heart of this industry, for it has often been said that it all starts with the song.</p>
<p>We believe that the new look reflects how far we have progressed to provide a comprehensive <strong>support network</strong> for songwriters and composers that struggle with <strong>financial</strong>, <strong>physical</strong> and <strong>mental health problems</strong>, <strong>debt</strong> and <strong>accommodation needs</strong>.</p>
<p>We hope you like this new look and feel for PRS Members’ Fund! Look out for more <strong>updates</strong> as we continue to try to better serve PRS members.</p>

UK Music organisations unites to support artists and businesses affected by PledgeMusic’s collapse
<p>Yesterday, <strong>Wednesday 5th of June</strong>, we united with a group of music trade organisations and charities to launch an <strong>impact survey</strong> to assess and understand those that have been financially affected by <strong>PledgeMusic’s demise</strong>.</p>
<p>Our aim is to help coordinate assistance to those facing difficulties and, as part of the group of organisations, we have issued a joint statement:</p>
<p><em>‘As organisations who want to see the music industry thrive, we are deeply disappointed that PledgeMusic has announced its bankruptcy leaving artists and fans out of pocket and with little communication or advice on how to deal with campaign disruption.’</em></p>
<p>Promoted jointly by <strong>UK Music</strong>, <strong>Music Managers Forum</strong>, <strong>Musicians’ Union</strong>, <strong>the Association of Independent Music</strong>, <strong>Help Musicians UK</strong>, <strong>PRS Foundation</strong> and International Showcase Fund partners, including <strong>British Underground</strong>, <strong>PRS Members’ Fund</strong>, the <strong>Music Producers Guild</strong>, <strong>The Ivors Academy</strong>, <strong>Featured Artists Coalition</strong>, <strong>Music Support</strong>, and the <strong>BPI</strong>, information provided by the survey will help industry better understand the scale of the fallout from Pledge’s collapse and help ensure artists and businesses are given the support they require.</p>
<p>The deadline to complete the impact assessment is midday on Tuesday 25 June, it should be completed by individuals and businesses alike and it can be accessed <a href="https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/JNHZYDW" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">here</a>.</p>
<p>Alongside the survey, industry umbrella body <strong>UK Music</strong> is seeking an investigation from the Competition and Markets Authority in relation to PledgeMusic and is raising the case with Ministers and MPs to identify steps to ensure this perilous situation is not repeated in the future.</p>

Mental Health in the Music Industry
<p>The music industry has always been a volatile environment triggering vulnerabilities that can lead to mental health challenges and emotional breakdowns.</p>
<p>Here at the PRS Members’ Fund, we understand that the pathway of a music creator can be very erratic, especially at psychological and financial levels. That’s why we are focusing on <strong><a href="https://www.prsmembersfund.com/support/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Mental Health/Physical Support and Debt Management</a></strong> to give PRS members assistance through our services and in conjunction with our partner organisations.</p>
<p><img src="https://www.prsmembersfund.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Sanda-broken-isnt-bad.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" height="486" width="486" /></p>
<h5 style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://www.brokenisntbad.com/about/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Artwork credit to Broken isn’t bad</a></h5>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>The recent events focusing on artists’ suicide and the stats collected from surveys around mental health are truly alarming.</p>
<p>In 2016 <strong>HMUK</strong> (Help Musicians UK) commissioned a survey undertaken by researchers <strong>Sally Gross</strong> and <strong>Dr George Musgrave</strong> of the <strong>University of Westminster.</strong></p>
<p>On October 2017 HMUK released the survey’s final report.</p>
<p>It found that <strong>80% of musicians and songwriters/composers </strong>experience stress, anxiety and depression and that the music community may be <strong>up to</strong> <strong>three times more likely to experience depression compared to the general public. </strong></p>
<h5>
<strong>(</strong><strong><em><a href="https://www.helpmusicians.org.uk/news/latest-news/hmuk-releases-final-cmmys-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Can Music Make You Sick?</a></em></strong><strong> , </strong>Academic study and survey, Help Musicians UK, 2017)</h5>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Last year, we created a unique partnership with <strong>Help Musicians UK</strong> to provide dedicated mental health support to members through <strong><em><a href="https://www.musicmindsmatter.org.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Music Minds Matter</a></em></strong> – a free and confidential 24/7 mental health support line and service for the music industry.</p>
<p>PRS for Music members can now access counselling, cognitive behavioural therapy as well as emotional support or just a listening ear.</p>
<p><strong>Dr Pete Glenister</strong>,<strong> PRS Members’ Fund</strong> trustee said “<em>Music Minds Matter will help point PRS members towards appropriate treatment and support and if necessary, fund that treatment and support. We hope this collaboration will give members the tools they need to help themselves going forward.</em>”</p>
<p>If you are struggling to cope, contact Music Minds Matter on <strong>0808 802 8008</strong> or email <strong><a href="mailto:MMM@helpmusicians.org.uk">MMM@helpmusicians.org.uk</a> </strong>let them know you are a PRS member.</p>
<p> </p>
<blockquote>
<p><strong><em>“Mental health can be just as important as physical health – and major depression is one of the most commonly diagnosed mental illnesses.”</em></strong></p>
<p> </p>
</blockquote>
<p>The music industry is a very competitive and uncertain place where income and success may rise and fall quite easily. Financial insecurity, poor working conditions, discrimination, prejudice and physical health, can also have negative impacts on mental health.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Dan Marshall</strong>, songwriter, said:</p>
<p><em>“I was in a really sticky situation, spiralling financial situation due to bad physical health, which was affecting my mental health.<strong> I didn’t know what else to do</strong>. </em></p>
<p><em>So, I just typed in ‘help for musicians’ into Google and it just came up the PRS Members’ Fund; I read the application and I started to fill out the form.</em></p>
<p><strong><em>I found it hard to express in words how great I felt</em></strong><em> when I got that email back saying, ‘your application has been accepted, we are glad to tell you we can help you’. I’m so grateful for the help I received and I think that it’s up to anyone out there, <strong>put your pride out of the way</strong>, be vulnerable, it’s ok to ask for assistance, <strong>there is no harm in asking at all.</strong>”</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p>This year, the topic of the <strong>Mental Health Awareness Week</strong> is <strong><em>Body Image</em></strong> <em>– how we feel and think about our bodies.</em></p>
<p>In a world where outer appearance can mean everything, the prejudice can trigger feelings of loneliness and low self-esteem, it’s therefore essential to raise awareness about mental health and the support available within the music industry.</p>
<p>The <strong><a href="https://bddfoundation.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">BDD (Body Dysmorphic Disorder)</a></strong> is a disabling preoccupation with perceived defects or flaws in appearance, that causes distress and interferes with the ability to function socially and create music.</p>
<p>Thankfully, it’s now becoming more common for artists to talk about mental health and their experiences, and this encourages others to step forward and seek support.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Ashley Beedle</strong>, songwriter, composer and Dj, shared with us his experience with mental health:</p>
<p><em>“I first approached the PRS Members’ Fund in 2017. I am what is classified as <strong>Bipolar 1</strong>, which is the worst. I found myself in a very poor financial situation as well.</em></p>
<p><strong><em>The fund gave me back my confidence</em></strong><em>, which is very important because I was so low and I felt that if you like my musicality, what I did, it was dead!</em></p>
<p><em>Things are tangible different now because <strong>I have regained my confidence, I have got back into making music in a very productive way and enjoy myself again, which is really where it’s at</strong>!” </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p>The Fund is dedicating to supporting PRS members experiencing difficult times. We do this through the provision of grants, information and signposting, as well as through our work with partner organisations such as <strong>Help Musicians UK</strong> via our joint <strong><em><a href="https://musicmindsmatter.org.uk" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Music Minds Matter</a></em></strong> project, or <strong><em><a href="http://www.shelter.org.uk" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Shelter</a></em></strong> for housing advice, <strong><em><a href="https://www.stepchange.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">StepChange</a></em></strong> for debt and budgetary management, and <strong>British Association for Performing Arts Medicine</strong> (<strong><em><a href="http://www.bapam.org.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">BAPAM</a></em></strong>) for specialist health support.</p>
<p>Sometimes all people need is a kind, attentive and listening ear.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong><em>THERE IS NO SHAME IN ASKING FOR HELP.</em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>GET IN TOUCH!</em></strong></p>

<div class="elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix"><p>This track packs some serious punch. The combination of noisey reverbed guitars, growling basslines and eerie vocals was not what I expected from this band, but it sure as hell cleared out my eardrums. Stadium worthy lead vocals sit on top of a fuzz fuelled symphony of energetic ghostly tones, while intense blasts of screeching distortion sprinkle themselves into the mix as an occasional one-two punch. This track is pure obscure noise rock / shoegaze, and I’m pretty sure it could clean out all the dust from my loft if I played it loud enough. This week Rev Rev Rev are jetting off to Austin to play a grand total of five shows at the one and only SXSW showcase. I really hope Texas is ready for the fuzz.</p></div>

Since their debut single back in 2017, have been on a surefire way up, which is kind of necessary for a trip to space, isn’t it?

<div class="elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix"><p>“Falling Apart” blends hazy British indie with a hint of what the nitpicky among us would call ‘Pacific Northwest Emo’. Glassy, dissonant guitars, belting vocals and a smooth, grounding drive from the rhythm section make this track quite an eye opener. While instrumentally this track offers up some delicate haze and glossy indifference, the vocals are unmistakably Mancunian, which adds a certain grit to the song as a whole. <em>“Falling Apart relates to the outsiders view on a failing relationship. Rather than being about the actual pain suffered it’s the anguish you feel for a couple that you can see are breaking down. A relationship that you also want to try to revive but the only option you see feasible is to part ways and start a fresh.”</em> Say the band about the single.<em> </em></p></div>

<div class="elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix"><p>This single sports a hazy acoustic intro that drowns in the band’s signature hearty harmonies. If The Covasettes vocal harmonies were to remind me of anything, it would be both a day at the beach and a hot cup of Tetley. “Like You” kicks off with it’s main riff, layered in that fresh indie energy The Covasettes have in abundance. This single could not be any catchier if it tried. It’s well rounded vocal hooks, vibrant riffs and overall wholesome sound make this track a surefire winner, and one that’s sure to go down a storm live. Speaking of which, we’ve yet to catch these guys live, but that’s definitely one of our aims for this year.</p></div>

It sounds bigger than any of our other tracks and it definitely shows a different side to us; a side that we’re more than happy to embrace.”</em> Says frontman Chris about the track. <em>“It’s a classic love song, but with all the elements we look to add to our music, verses that are easy to settle into, lyrics you can scream and a chorus you can jump around to.” </em>This single also came with a B-side for good measure, entitled “She Is”. This track is a wholly acoustic one, sitting at just under 3 minutes of bittersweet indie goodness.</p></div>

The fact that it’s almost certain to do well and propel the band forward is no surprise. But what is a surprise is that this band simply appeared out of nowhere, and are now one of main players in the DIY indie scene. And damn, do they deserve to be.</span></p></div>

Blending old school punk energy with modern style, Weekend Recovery are not ones to miss. Here’s our review of their single “Bite Your Tongue”!</p></div>

<div class="elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix"><p>This track is a real breakthrough for Weekend Recovery. It shows off varying guitar sounds, catchy punk melodies that never misstep, and the track always maintains it’s footing. The track starts with some majorly crusty guitars played in a rhythm almost reminiscent of something Paramore would have written in an alternate universe where had they kept their attitude and punk energy. The verses employ the use of great sounding guitar effects and well rounded vocal melodies, while the chorus is a heavy hitter, showing off some tremendous vocal hooks and garage punk fire. The track boasts a wonderfully horrid bridge section that has hints of early Slaves, and brings the track to a grand finish with another chorus.</p></div>

<div class="elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix"><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The band’s new single embodies all the crisp, dreary, emotional vibes that a band like this needs. Frosty guitars, raspy vocals and wholesome melodies all add up to build a strong track that shows great promise and potential for hayfever as a band. Breezy harmonies and resonant guitars make the chorus one to remember, and the track’s unusual structure are a real stand out among the genre. As is standard with emo pop in general, “ourself (care)” gives off some majorly gloomy vibes, but not to a point of sounding depressing or sterile. Instead, the track gives us a fresh, airy sound that perfectly punctuates a foggy day in February.</span></p></div>

</ul><p><strong>This is free for DistroKid members</strong>, and is available immediately.</p><p>Bonus: You didn’t ask… but yes… you will potentially be paid if someone uses your music in an Instagram story or other Facebook product.</p><p>If you’d like to be included in Facebook’s music catalog, <a href="https://distrokid.com">visit DistroKid now</a> and add your music.</p><p>We hope you enjoy this new service from DistroKid.</p><p>Thanks for reading!</p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=507b5e567593" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" height="1" width="1" /><hr><p><a href="https://news.distrokid.com/facebook-507b5e567593">Facebook & Instagram are building a music catalog, DistroKid can get you in</a> was originally published in <a href="https://news.distrokid.com">DistroKid News</a> on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.</p>

They’ve been up and down the country, into Europe and made one hell of an impression on the industry while doing it. A series of fantastic singles bearing their incomparable sound have thrown them into the limelight of the UK scene, and it’s all led to their humongous debut album “Rhinoceros”. This is a big one, folks. </p></div>

<div class="elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix"><p>The album kicks off with the psychedelic shot of fire that is “I Heard a Cry”. Straight away, this is my favourite song on this album. It’s catchy, emotional melodies and unbridled energy make it a fantastic song. Next up is the band’s debut single “I’m Gonna Do Well”, which mixes a garage punk sound with the band’s trademark quirks and one hell of a chorus. Third comes the most recent single “Tug Of War”, which is a merry go round of so many influences and original ideas that it’s beyond my comprehension to describe it any better than that. Next up is “Outrageous”, a garage punk track that shows off a fantastic bass sound and a potent chorus, and is easily one of the album’s highlights. Halfway through the album is “No Hay”, a dizzy, staggering track sung entirely in Spanish, and one that shows off the sheer range of sounds that this band can make.</p></div>

<div class="elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix"><p>The sixth track on the album is “Getting Closer”, a gently uplifting bop punctuated with distorted screaming vocals and fantastic vocal hooks. Next up comes “Wondertale”, a song that shows off an almost exotic guitar rhythm and a chorus that I could imagine singing while walking home after a night of merriment. The eighth song is the very effervescent “Cruel Girl”, a song that shows off Calva Louise’s pure spirit and energy, along with their crazy guitar sounds. This track has a killer layered vocal part too. Second to last is “Down The Stream”, which I guess is this album’s ballad-esque track, even though it’s still as charming, uplifting and quirky as the rest, and finally we have “Out Of Use”. This song starts out quite chilled and bouncy, but quickly becomes a riff fuelled slap-in-the-face, and yet is still seamlessly blended. </p></div>

<div class="elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix"><p>The thing that is so charming to me about Calva Louise is that their sound is both welcoming and crazy, and the quirkiness of their overall vibe feels genuine, not just weird for the sake of weird. Their ability to utilise such a mad sound to create relatable, uplifting songs is a testament to their pure brilliance as a band. </p></div>

She blends retro synth sounds with a refined modern pop crispness, and molds it all together with a great brand. She’s been on a slow but steady rise through the ranks of the London / Brighton underground scene for a while, and has just dropped a single alongside <strong><span style="color: #d50235;"><a style="color: #d50235;" href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/5gJzTIxbaGM0Z5EnLYuUxg?si=N1i-bdkNTnio9ucN0AjRdQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Seeva</a></span></strong>, and it’s taken off quite a bit.

<div class="elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix"><p>“Heartstop” kicks off straight way with dual vocals from both artists, punctuated by passing lead synths that ooze that neo-retro sound that I love so much. This song is reminiscent of The 1985 in terms of it’s synth sounds, but it also echos influences from both modern chart pop, and even a little tropical house. The combination of mid range vocals from Seeva and the higher melodies from La Lune blend together perfectly amongst the whirlwind of synth sounds, but luckily each of them get a verse to show off their own vocal ability, which cannot go unmentioned. All in all, this single is a catchy track, and one of those rare songs that blend retro and modern pop seamlessly. If La Lune keeps dropping songs like this and collaborating with artists of Seeva’s calibre, I can see a very bright future ahead for her!</p></div>

<p>Since La Lune is such a captivating artist, we ended up throwing loads of questions at her. So we figured why not let you lovely people hear the answers too!</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #d50235;">Q1:</span> What’s the meaning behind your newest single “Heartstop”?</strong></p>
<p><strong>A1: </strong><em>Tarun (Seeva) and I sat down together on the evening of Valentine’s Day back in 2017, single and alone, to write a song together. Although that sounds somewhat tragic, we are so excited and proud of our song. It was my first experience of co-writing, so it was really interesting to witness another songwriter’s process, and merge our ideas.</em></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #d50235;">Q2:</span> Back in December you spent a few days in Portugal, alone with a piano, to get some new material down. What gave you the inspiration to do this?</strong></p>
<p><strong>A2:</strong> <em>I did! It was amazing. I decided to do it because writing this second EP was so hard – I felt so creatively stunted, and had the worst writer’s block I think I’ve ever experienced! It sucked, a lot. I remember sitting in my room in Brighton losing my mind because everything I wrote sounded false and contrived, and I felt like I just needed to physically leave all of my messy thoughts and anxieties behind, and get away for a bit. Being by myself with just a piano was probably one of the most nourishing experiences I’ve ever had. I felt so peaceful, and the writer’s block pretty much alleviated itself instantaneously. It felt so refreshing to truly feel as though I was entirely removed from normal life, and to explore somewhere new.</em></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #d50235;">Q3:</span> You’ve managed to create plenty of visuals and branding that fit so perfectly with your music, with the washed-out images and pastel colours. How did you decide on this aesthetic?</strong></p>
<p><strong>A3: </strong><em>Aw, thank you! I think it came quite naturally to be honest. I’ve always really enjoyed photography, and I take pictures all the time, whether it’s on a proper camera or just on my phone. I really like the whole minimalist approach, and I think my music and visuals reflect that, so they slot together quite nicely.</em></p>

<p><strong><span style="color: #d50235;">Q4:</span> What’s on the cards for you live-wise? Are you playing any festivals or running any tours?</strong></p>
<p><strong>A4:</strong> <em>At the moment I’m still mostly gigging in Brighton and London, and I’ve also got some festivals lined up over the summer, which I’m really excited for. It’s really nice to be gradually branching out of Brighton and London, and playing gigs around the UK. No tours yet, though, unfortunately!</em></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #d50235;">Q5:</span> Your newest single is a collaboration with fellow electronic artist Seeva. Can we expect more collaborations in the future?</strong></p>
<p><strong>A5:</strong> <em>Collaborating was a totally new experience for me. Tarun [Seeva] is a good friend of mine, and we both have a massive mutual appreciation for each other’s work, so the whole process felt very easy and natural. I’ve actually already got a couple more collaborations in the pipeline, but it’s very early days. It’s really fun to work with other people, though, and I’m enjoying having that as well as my own projects.</em></p>

<p>Their newest single is essentially an indie power anthem covered in spacious, catchy melodies. “Fall Into Me” shows off some seriously awesome guitar melodies that sound like they have been pleasantly simmered for ten minutes on gas mark 6 in pure cloudy reverb. However, the track doesn’t fall victim to the common trait of soaking everything in reverb, instead showing off some deep belting vocal talent and rhythms reminiscent of <strong><span style="color: #d50235;"><a style="color: #d50235;" href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/6hl5k4gLl1p3sjhHcb57t2?si=Kw5_RSBkSi-4XNes3GK3hQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Circa Waves</a></span></strong> or <strong><span style="color: #d50235;"><a style="color: #d50235;" href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/4W48hZAnAHVOC2c8WH8pcq?si=qAKnx2jjQDOr4cCJ5tbpMQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Temper Trap</a></span></strong>.</p>
<p>“The lyrics are based around two people who have started to find feelings for each other but are afraid to admit them, for fear that it will affect their existing relationship. The song represents the excitement and thrill of finally admitting the truth of how you feel.” Says bassist Sam.</p>

<p>Throughout 2018, we held stages at some of the best festivals for DIY artists in the UK.

<p>The UK is home to plenty of conventions, seminars and networking events, and we were lucky enough to be invited to some of the best. <strong><a href="https://www.53degreesmusic.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">53 Degrees North</a> </strong>in Hull, <strong><a href="https://www.yorkshiremusicforum.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Yorkshire Music Forum</a> </strong>Convention in Leeds, <strong><a href="https://www.prsformusic.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PRS</a> </strong>Outreach in Sheffield and <strong><a href="https://www.introducinglive.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BBC Introducing Live</a></strong> at London’s Tobacco Dock just to name a few.</p>
<p>Our team spoke and chaired panels at these events, talking all about the DIY artist revolution and the benefits of controlling your own career. Events like this frequently play host to some of the biggest brains in the business, and we recommend any DIY artist to attend some of them to get yourself some of that sweet, sweet knowledge.</p>

<p>In October, we took our friends Hot Soles over to South Korea to play <strong><a href="https://blog.kycker.net/kycker-goes-to-korea/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Zandari Festa</a> </strong>in Seoul, as part of the Sound City Delegation. With the recent emergence of Korean music into the international limelight, Seoul has become a hotspot for international artists. We’re convinced that Zandari Festa will become the SXSW of Asia.</p>
<p>Hot Soles played 3 shows <em>(ones that we can talk about, anyway) </em>and took the Korean crowds by storm. Joining Hot Soles were some other great artists, including <strong><a href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/36ccNWK0en3ouoLFpWfgJb?si=KPu9MRRLQ3GIt02hAbBlSA" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Red Rum Club</a></strong>, <strong><a href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/0w0G0yLuHEK0PKsNnLytAp?si=F3VuRxOxTJKyuCbdOeOdBA" target="_blank" rel="noopener">False Advertising</a></strong> and <strong><a href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/5NxG91O2LcOKUktBYVWiWd?si=mPMS0W-PSmStrWMOp_uItQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Love Ssega</a></strong>. </p>

<p>You’d think November and December would be a time for winding down for Christmas, right? Not for us. Certified maniac and genius <strong><a href="https://twitter.com/marteeeen" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Martin Atkins</a></strong> paid a visit to the UK in November, and held a talk at our office to some of Sheffield’s most motivated DIY artists about the benefits of going it alone. If you want to make a career out of your music on your own terms, this man has the street smarts you need to make it happen.</p>
<p>That’s surely it, right? Nope. In December, the captain of our Sync team Barry Gilbey headed to India’s <strong><a href="https://www.events.great.gov.uk/ehome/thefuturetechfestival/about/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FutureTech</a> </strong>conference in Mumbai and New Delhi to introduce Kycker to the independent music scene in India. You wouldn’t expect India to have the rich underground music scene that it has, and we think that a mutually beneficial relationship between the two underground scenes is in order. Watch this space.</p>

Their ability to blend garage sounds with pop rock energy and stadium worthy vocal hooks has garnered them support from BBC Radio 6 Music, so it’s probably worth a listen. Here’s our review of their newest single “Sister Sinner”!</p></div>

<p>This single blends that British gritty garage twang with flowing vocal melodies and an almost Smashing Pumpkins style of songwriting, “Sister Sinner” showcases some of the band’s best vocal work so far, taking the raspy, eerie tone of Josh Homme and applying it to power-pop melodies and delicate harmonies. The main draw of this single for me is the gritty crispness of the guitars. They give the whole song an attitude and an energy that I love. Sitting at just under four minutes, “Sister Sinner” is just long enough to be epic but not long enough to be dreary. </p>
<p><em>“Sister Sinner is our Anthemic reminder to embrace life. It’s passionate, punchy, emotive and Rocks. It Sums us up pretty well right now.” </em>Says the band about the single. </p>

They dropped a new single this month, so we’re on the case!</p></div>

<p>“Deaf in One Eye” blends all the catchiness from old school rock with the fuzz and grit from modern garage style. The steady rhythm makes this track remind me of a huge, rusty train slowly pushing its way through your living room. This song is a wall of sound, made up of powerful rolling drums, abrasive guitar sounds and an evil sounding, distorted vocal. There’s nothing not to like. </p>
<p><em>“Deaf In One Eye locals into this groove thats like driving a big pickup truck down route 66 with big tits in your faces and dollar bills in suitcases, then you wake up and you’re in South Yorkshire driving down the A1 eating an out of date Asda sandwich on a pissing down rainy day in a Citroen Picasso and the clutch is about to go.” </em>Says the band about the song. I think that says everything you need to know!</p>

<p>Ending the year with a bang, the new single “Slave” is a grizzly yet glamorous journey into obscurity. Don’t be put off by my use of the word ‘glamourous’, this track is equal parts grit and glamour. The track blends hints of 90’s indie with elements of psych pop and noise rock, all the while layering catchy melodies and a thick, palpable attitude that’s hard not to enjoy.</p>
<p>A snarling cacophony of vocal hooks rests atop an ocean of reverby fuzz and coats it all in that familiar northern attitude. <em>“Slave is our second cosmic offering to date. It’s dark, it’s punchy, and the one that really shows through all our different influences.”</em> Says the band. Check out the track performed live at <strong><a href="https://www.cafetotem.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cafe Totem</a></strong> for <strong><a href="https://www.exposedmagazine.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Exposed Magazine</a></strong> below!</p>

She dropped a new single last week called “Growing Pains”, so in true fashion as a music reviewer, we reviewed it. (Don’t ever say we’re predictable!)</p></div>

<div class="elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix"><p>This new single is the most soothing slap in the face I’ve ever received. “Growing Pains” showcases breezy indie guitars combined with raw, rolling drums and one hell of a voice. The track has a huge chorus that showcases both LIO’s ability to write great hooks and her velvety harmonies. This song also has a brilliant bridge section which stuck in my head long after I heard it the first time. This is a quality that is often overlooked in music; how long it takes for something to become catchy. With LIO, it’s instant. You can hear it in her voice that the backstory of this song is seeped in emotion and self-reflection. This is most apparent in the outro, where the vocals are beautifully layered and teetering between chest and head voice like a pro. <i><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">“Growing Pains originates from a pretty dark place that I found myself in a few months ago. Continuous writing and reflection reminded me of the importance of self-care and taking time out to remember that we are all amazing in our own unique way. Growing Pains was the first successful attempt in gathering my thoughts and creating something that truly represented all the confusion. If you need it, I hope it brings you the same release as it did me.” </span></i><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">says LIO about the track.</span></p></div>

Combining ambient rock with dark pop and deep synth makes for an interesting combo on a Monday morning. Not only is their new single pretty cool (hence the review), their artwork is slick as hell. Anyway, let’s get on with the review!</p></div>

<p>Deliah’s new single “Silence” blends so many different sounds it’s pretty difficult to categorise. Heavy and ambient guitars, deep synths and reverbed / crunchy pad sounds come together and carves out a nice style of synth rock. The vocals are nicely layered and structured almost like a pop vocal, giving the track all the catchy hooks it needs. The drums in this song are marginally industrial, sounding like they were recorded in the middle of a disused factory in the middle of Lincolnshire. </p>
<p>All of this blends together to create an angst-filled energy and an atmosphere that you could cut with a knife and spread on your toast. “Silence” is the final single of something the band are calling a visual concept trilogy, following their last two singles “<strong><a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/6hXrgEPExzsoInn71IjmMN?si=DwSSE1HwThKU82ifa2iM6Q" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Achromatic</a></strong>” and “<strong><a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/0r3qfHXRpkZEXc0N3csPdW?si=NWLbnw86R66o-jA3tTbkwg" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Infinite</a></strong>“. Pretty cool right? You can check out their new video below!</p>

It’s not just artists and creatives, it’s anyone who feels the pull of doing something against your own beliefs in the hope that it’ll take you to the next level. The video also focuses on the idea of comparing yourself to others, something that can be toxic but, is rife today, especially through social media. Like with the rest of the trilogy, we offer no answers. ‘</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Silence</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">’ a commentary that we hope might find someone that needs to know they’re not alone and that other people feel the same” –</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Says the band about the single.</span></p></div>

<div class="elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix"><p>The EP opens with lead single “Miasma”, a gritty garage anthem that shows off DARMA’s talent for massive choruses, awesome hooks and vocal lines and gravelly sound. Next up is the comedically named “Procrasturbator”. This track shows off more of the band’s bare-knuckle sound along with an excellent vocal line and a smack-you-in-the-face main riff coupled with one crusty as hell bass sound. Three songs in we have “Hey, You”, which is a little bit Smashing Pumpkins-esque with its major scale heaviness and chorus vocalising. This is my personal favourite track on the EP due the layered vocal parts and overall gloomy but positive feel. Nestled in-between the final two songs we have “Interlude”, a soft and short piece comprising of solo guitar and wordless vocals that leads into the final song on the EP, “You’re Always Right”. This one opens with a phased guitar and yet another spin-your-jaw kind of riff. DARMA seem to be quite good at that. This song also sports a great chorus that channels 90’s Seattle grunge coupled with DARMA’s trademark Manchester grit.</p></div>

<div class="elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix"><p>A1: Aww thanks! Well I grew up playing cello. When I started writing songs people kept telling me I should use cello instead of guitar. At first I didn’t think it could be done for the kind of music that I wanted to write, and then by chance I saw a few other people doing different things with the cello, and a singer songwriter cellist called <strong><a href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/2Zok9qpyyGvyE3jFvy54Y5?si=N-9MD51kS6e_Vgb_XQZJCw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ayanna Witter-Johnson</a></strong> who is amazing. It wasn’t the kind of stuff I wanted to write, but it changed my perspective on the possibility of using the cello to write R’n’B, so I sat down one afternoon with my cello and gave it a go and it worked!!!</p></div>

<p>A2: It’s probably easier just to go and listen to it haha! It’s really just my thoughts and experiences relating to being “mixed race”, and my answer to all the people who ask me “where are you from?”. I kind of hope the message people take from it is that all these definitions of “black”,”white”, “latino” etc are kind of arbitrary and out-dated. Putting people into boxes like that doesn’t really work. That makes it sound really serious, but it’s not – it’s fun, carnival vibes!</p>
<p>It’s really a celebration song! I’m celebrating my heritage. I’m celebrating not being defined by the colour of my skin. I’m celebrating just being me!</p>

<p>A3: I think the instrument you write on definitely influences the song you write. There is more jazz in the songs I write using the cello I think. If I write on the cello and that song ends up on guitar that’s different again, and the same for the other way round. Sometimes I don’t use instruments at all when I’m writing!</p>
<p>There are so many ways to write a song. I don’t really think about it. I just have an idea or a thought or a feeling or a story that kind of compels me to follow it and see where it takes me. A lot of the time it feels like the song already exists somewhere in my head or heart and I’m just trying to uncover it, or put it together like a jigsaw.</p>

Their newest single “Secrets Out” showcases the raw and ready sound that the trio have become infamous for. We’ve loved Southpaw for a few years now, since about four years ago, when two of our staff members used to be in a band together and were totally upstaged by them. No hard feelings though.</span></p></div>

The single shows off an almost funk infused indie rock sound, combining good old fashioned riffs with staggered rhythms and vocal hooks. </span><span class="s2">Khalil’s vocal style punctuate the song with smooth lines and snaps of punk-ish energy, while the guitar and bass form a meaty bed for them to rest on. </span><span class="s2">The single sports a hard hitting bridge section layered with interesting vocal dynamics and guitar bends, which then ends abruptly with no drama. Great. <span class="s1">Khalil has described his attitude to performing onstage as “energy, energy, energy,” and its clear that this mindset is carried over into the studio. Southpaw always seem to maintain their live energy on their recordings, which is essential for a band of their style and proves the passion and vigour that the band have.</span></span></p></div>

They first surfaced earlier this year with their debut single “Dying Breed”, and a scheduled show with <a href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/03IVHgKMwwPQi59WKGsvSq?si=7RqPy496RoaykezkvKPMhg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="color: #d50235;"><b>Naropa</b></span></a> at London’s Camden Assembly in November. They’ve gathered some pretty strong social media support and its easy to see why. Here’s our review of their debut!</p></div>

<p>“Dying Breed” is an easy going yet energetic indie tune that showcases some pretty stylish vocal work. Along with <em>(don’t have a heart attack when I mention them)</em> modernised Oasis-ish lead vocals, there are more wordless vocal melodies flying around that pad out the song to be almost reminiscent of bands like Foster The People or Arcade Fire. For a debut single, “Dying Breed” is a rather strong one. The understated melodies and catchy vocal rhythms show this band’s potential right out of the gate.</p>
<p>The current Spotify-worshipping climate in the music industry is the perfect habitat for a band like this. If The Flitz knuckle down and carve out a unique sound for themselves then I’m pretty sure they could land themselves on some of the major indie playlists, and be invited to showcase at some of the U.K’s major independent festivals. I look forward to stumbling across them in two years and finding my prediction to be true. </p>

Don’t sweat the organisation that you’ll need to put into it though – there are all sorts of logistical challenges that come with getting equipment over there and things like that. Give yourself lots of time to plan how you’ll go about doing things and ask people loads of questions.</span></p></div>

Despite there only being well, two of them, they dominate the stage with an effortlessly stylish performance and fantastically crafted songs. I’m slightly gutted I didn’t have the camera with me when I saw them, so I wasn’t able to put together a decent live review. So I’m reviewing their album instead.</p></div>

<div class="elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix"><p>“Invisible Matters” is a whopping album sitting at 13 tracks. It opens with the eerie “Prelude”, a brief verse of choir vocals that sounds like a warped version of “<strong><span style="color: #d50235;"><a style="color: #d50235;" href="https://open.spotify.com/track/4u7EnebtmKWzUH433cf5Qv?si=9XuBO3wcSp60NREyAruN2w" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bohemian Rhapsody</a>“</span></strong>. Next, we’re straight into “Festin”, one of my current favourite tracks. Brooding bass tones and neo-retro synth melodies make this track a massive stand out, and we’re only two songs in. Third up is “Misunderstood” that opens with a spoken word intro, but ends up throwing <strong><span style="color: #d50235;"><a style="color: #d50235;" href="https://open.spotify.com/album/5kSUsy5FU3Wcxd4DBvXFm4?si=qy-S-XmaSGOH0WuZ-Wrlow" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Blade Runner</a></span></strong>-esque sounds, chest churning bass, awesome French rap and whirring guitar at us by the one minute mark. What a song. Next up is “Play This Part” which is a sci-fi ballad that blends strained chords with ethereal vocals. Fifth is “Only Love”, which is a gentler track with epic layered vocal lines. Next comes “Drop Out”, a hard hitting synth pop anthem with clubland synths and bubbling bass sounds with standout rhythmic vocals. “Chaos” is an ambient guitar driven track that would be perfect advert music for the first commercial flights into space. “Chalk Farm” is another personal favourite, with a menacing bass sound, layered vocals and one of the most sweeping, emotional choruses on the album. </p></div>

<div class="elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix"><p>Next up is “Undercover Girls”, one of Holy Two’s most well known songs, and for a good reason. Catchy riffs and a brilliant chorus make this another standout song. “When You Fall” is another big one, with tender vocals opening the track but a futuristic rhythm smashing defining the buoyant chorus. Next up “Free The Devil” a synthy halloween trip that boasts some of the most awesome synth sounds I have ever heard. “Orage” is a subtlety beautiful and expressive waltz that is sung entirely in French. The final song on the album is “All My Friends Are Gone” a winding, guitar ballad comedown from the mix of emotions that we’ve just been subject to. </p></div>

<p>This album is amazing, no doubt about it. Holy Two mix modern synth pop with deep bass, revolutionary guitar sounds and fantastically written vocals (both sang and rapped) to fashion an album of elegant, refined modern music. In case you haven’t noticed, I’m a fan.</p>

Their last single “<strong><span style="color: #d50235;"><a style="color: #d50235;" href="https://open.spotify.com/track/1W3hR3mrTYaar0rtm0m14j?si=RZO5g3iATK2FDv-9zSLRoA" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Top Drawer</a></span></strong>” absolutely smashing Spotify, accumulating over 200,000 streams since its release back in July. This is quite unheard of from an independent indie band of this level. They just dropped a new track entitled “Wild”, so here’s our take!</p></div>

<p>The track opens with a simple yet incredibly catchy riff, and we’re straight in with hazy guitar sounds and chilled vocal harmonies. The vibe is always instant with The Covasettes, no beating around the bush. The chorus smashes in with a lovable vocal melody, and is quickly followed by some warm sounding harmonies.</p>
<p>The Covasettes seem to have quite a talent for lower vocal harmonies, which is a welcome change from the standard high vocals of your usual indie pop. As well as showcasing near perfect indie pop, The Covasettes maintain a certain appealing humility, and yet they are clearly absolutely confident in their songwriting abilities, and so they should be. <span style="font-weight: 400;">“Wild” is 3 minutes and 14 seconds of pure indie bliss, and The Covasettes should be proud to bring consistent, modern quality to the genre. </span></p>

<p><strong><span style="color: #d50235;"><a style="color: #d50235;" href="http://zandarifesta.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Zandari Festa</a></span></strong> is an independent urban festival situated in Hongdae, one of the most prominent nightlife and university districts of Seoul, Korea’s capital. Much like <strong><span style="color: #d50235;"><a style="color: #d50235;" href="https://www.soundcity.uk.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Liverpool Sound City</a></span></strong> or <strong><span style="color: #d50235;"><a style="color: #d50235;" href="https://www.tramlines.org.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tramlines</a></span></strong> Fringe, Zandari Festa sits across many live venues within a 15 minute walk of each other. Every year, bands, artists and industry delegates from all over the world attend Zandari to not only take part in the Korean scene, but to experience representation of scenes from other countries.</p>
<p>There are attendees from Korea, Russia, the U.S.A, Canada, Japan, Mongolia, France, The Netherlands, Brazil and pretty much everywhere else you can imagine. There is fantastic music being made everywhere, so we chose our favourite artists from the festival (both U.K and internationally based) and put them into a Spotify Playlist that you can check out here!</p>

<p>So Zandari Festa 2018 opened at the Convent (previously Freebird) on Thursday the 4th. We caught stand out performances from <strong><span style="color: #d50235;"><a style="color: #d50235;" href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/0tev8ZQ4Hy5AeAeCK5Udw1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wake Up Iris</a></span></strong>, a folk duo from Indonesia and <strong><span style="color: #d50235;"><a style="color: #d50235;" href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/0EnwklCF9zZ5r5m6uZrve5" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LudiSTELO</a></span></strong>, a synth rock group from Korea, who we reviewed <strong><span style="color: #d50235;"><a style="color: #d50235;" href="http://kycker.net/kyckerblog/ludistelo-live-zandari-festa-review/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here!</a> </span></strong><span style="color: #d50235;"><span style="color: #000000;">After the show, a few of the delegates and artists ended up at Strange Fruit, an underground bar on a side street of Hongdae. In this tiny room, music industry executives and artists from all over the globe jammed and sang until the early hours of the morning. This is a prime example of how (corny as it may sound) music really does bring people together, regardless of where you come from. </span></span></p>
<p>The next day we caught <strong><span style="color: #d50235;"><a style="color: #d50235;" href="https://www.facebook.com/dannyboyandthecarriages/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Danny Boy & The Carriages</a></span></strong>, fronted by the most Liverpool sounding Korean you will ever meet, and <strong><span style="color: #d50235;"><a style="color: #d50235;" href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/0DM4jL16DRaCGwFEUQSvHl" target="_blank" rel="noopener">57 (Oh Chill)</a>,</span></strong> who are one of Korea’s best rock bands at the moment that we reviewed <span style="color: #d50235;"><a style="color: #d50235;" href="http://kycker.net/kyckerblog/57-oh-chill-live-zandari-festa-review/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>here!</strong></a></span> The evening brought the French Night at MUV Hall, spearheaded by our Korean promoter friends in <strong><span style="color: #d50235;"><a style="color: #d50235;" href="https://www.facebook.com/doindie.kr/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Doindie</a></span></strong>.

<p>The Saturday brought us the British Night ran by the awesome folks at Sound City. Having turned up early for this event, I managed to catch the last act on before the British event started. This act was <span style="color: #d50235;"><strong><a style="color: #d50235;" href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/0OmQCkk1rR3DJ0Y2NRxp6Z" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IDIOTAPE</a></strong></span>, a Korean version of The Prodigy, and twice as intense. Two DJ’s with a live drummer made for 30 minutes of heavy synth trance that I’ll admit, I was not ready for. Then came the British Night, which opened with neo-soul artist <strong><span style="color: #d50235;"><a style="color: #d50235;" href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/5NxG91O2LcOKUktBYVWiWd" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Love Ssega</a></span></strong> (review <strong><span style="color: #d50235;"><a style="color: #d50235;" href="http://kycker.net/kyckerblog/love-ssega-live-zandari-festa-review/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a></span></strong>), then on came Glen Matlock, out of nowhere. You know, the main songwriter from the <strong><span style="color: #d50235;"><a style="color: #d50235;" href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/1u7kkVrr14iBvrpYnZILJR" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sex Pistols</a></span></strong>? Yeah, I was a bit taken aback too. We then got a stand out set from <strong><span style="color: #d50235;"><a style="color: #d50235;" href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/36ccNWK0en3ouoLFpWfgJb" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Red Rum Club</a></span></strong>, who blasted out 25 minutes of energy, three part harmonies and trumpet covered alt rock. We had to review them too, so you can check that out here!</p>
<p>Then we got a blaster of a set from <strong><span style="color: #d50235;"><a style="color: #d50235;" href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/0w0G0yLuHEK0PKsNnLytAp" target="_blank" rel="noopener">False Advertising</a></span></strong> who have been favourites of ours for a while. Playing a 20 minute set of gritty garage rock in an underground venue made them all the more intense! Then at long last, <strong><span style="color: #d50235;"><a style="color: #d50235;" href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/15RPYsLn8F9jjr3RctprFb" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hot Soles</a></span></strong> took to the stage and proceeded to not only blast the MUV Hall full of energy, but guitarist Kieran (with his wireless lead) left the building, climbed the stairs to the street and rounded up the two hundred-ish people loitering outside and brought them back down into the main hall, filling the room again. Genius. Finally, <strong><span style="color: #d50235;"><a style="color: #d50235;" href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/10tUg638gBo2TAO4KYDZIG" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Eyre Llew</a> </span></strong>ended the night with some intimate yet intense ambient rock.</p>

Before you ask, yes, we reviewed them <strong><span style="color: #d50235;"><a style="color: #d50235;" href="http://kycker.net/kyckerblog/laybricks-live-zandari-festa-review/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a></span></strong>! Later on we caught <strong><span style="color: #d50235;"><a style="color: #d50235;" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6SHF6UlY1A&feature=share" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Colours</a></span></strong> from Mongolia, who gave us a set filled with psychedelia infused rock. Who’d have thought that psychedelia reached all the way to Mongolia? Hot Soles then played their second showcase at Club FF, another underground venue. At this show, an eager Korean guy joined Kieran on the mic for some call and response, and Hot Soles once again went down a storm.</p></div>

Introducing DistroKid’s New “Mastered for iTunes” Service
<figure><img src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*vgq_Nir5TmcAYbNdmf9gYg.jpeg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" /></figure><p>Today we’re excited to announce the launch of DistroKid’s <strong>Mastered for iTunes</strong> (“MFiT”) service.</p><p>MFiT is a brilliant service from Apple that helps improve the quality of your audio on Apple Music and iTunes… and gives you the elusive “Mastered for iTunes” badge in iTunes.</p><p>The majority of charting albums in iTunes have this certification. <strong>And now, for the first time — so can you.</strong></p><p>All you have to do is click the “Mastered for iTunes” checkbox on DistroKid’s upload form — and it’s done.</p><p>Details below.</p><h3><strong>What’s Mastered for iTunes?</strong></h3><p>I don’t work at Apple… so I don’t know everything about how MFiT works. But here’s the gist.</p><p>Let’s say you recorded your music in a studio and saved it as a WAV file. You then upload that WAV file to <a href="https://distrokid.com">DistroKid</a>, so that we can send it to streaming services.</p><p>The first thing most streaming services do, is convert your audio to a smaller,<em> </em>compressed file format. That’s because your huge 24bit/96kHz WAV file isn’t really streamable to anyone with normal bandwidth.</p><p>Usually, this conversion process goes well.</p><p>But sometimes it doesn’t.</p><h3>The <strong>problem</strong>
</h3><p>Any time a file is converted from non-lossy (ex: WAV) to lossy (ex: MP3), there’s a chance something can go wrong. Usually, any issues are subtle. But at worst, you may hear a loud crack, pop, or clipping that isn’t in the original file.</p><p><em>This is an issue that affects almost all streaming services. </em>But Apple brilliantly figured out a solution.</p><h3><strong>The solution</strong></h3><p>Apple made their proprietary converter available to select mastering engineers. <strong>This is the same converter that’s normally used on Apple’s end </strong>to convert your files from their raw format to a streamable format (AAC, in Apple’s case).</p><p><strong>This makes it possible for mastering engineers to hear how the <em>compressed</em> audio will sound… <em>BEFORE</em> submitting it to stores!</strong></p><p>So the engineer can tweak the audio to make sure it’ll sound <em>great </em>once compressed.</p><p>DistroKid’s new MFiT services does just that.</p><p>Opt-in, and we’ll ensure your audio conforms to Apple’s exacting MFiT specifications. An Apple-certified MFiT mastering house (that works with DistroKid) will manually listen to each track to make sure it sounds great. If everything is good to go, your track will be certified MFiT.</p><p>Four things to note:</p><ul>
<li>There will be no tonal changes to your audio. They’ll sound the same. The only thing that may change is the overall volume/level.</li>
<li>This isn’t a replacement for mastering. You can send us tracks that are already mastered — and we’ll get them certified MFiT.</li>
<li>
<strong>Not all tracks can be certified Mastered for iTunes</strong>. If your audio is particularly bad (or clipped, low-quality, etc) we’ll have to reject it for MFiT. But in those cases, you won’t be charged any extra and we’ll just send the <em>non-MFiT</em> audio to Apple.</li>
<li>If you already have a track that’s certified Mastered for iTunes, that you got from a different mastering engineer — all good! Let us know and we’ll send that song to Apple and mark it MFiT (at no cost).</li>
</ul><p><strong>How to opt-in <em>new </em>tracks<br></strong>On DistroKid’s upload form, click the “Mastered for iTunes” checkbox. There’s a small charge per song. But it’s much less expensive then a typical MFiT-certified mastering house would charge. Your audio will be uploaded to stores normally — and you’ll see the Mastered for iTunes badge in iTunes on your album (or single) page.</p><p><strong>How to opt-in old releases</strong><br>Find your album on DistroKid. Then click the “Mastered for iTunes” checkbox. The “Mastered for iTunes” badge should appear on your album in iTunes within 1 or 2 days.</p><p>Mastered for iTunes certification isn’t for everyone. It’s for the perfectionist who wants to make sure everything sounds<em> as close as possible</em> to the original — and wants that MFiT badge in iTunes.</p><p>If MFiT is for you, we hope you enjoy. We’re proud of the service and are happy to help.</p><p>Thanks for reading.</p><p>While you’re here, check out DistroKid’s <a href="https://news.distrokid.com/splits-2d058e99797b">automatic payment splitting service</a>, our <a href="https://news.distrokid.com/hyperfollow-79c185e73a7f">Spotify pre-save service</a>, and <a href="https://news.distrokid.com/latest">our other firsts</a>.</p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=18cea5fa75f0" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" height="1" width="1" /><hr><p><a href="https://news.distrokid.com/mfit-18cea5fa75f0">Introducing DistroKid’s New “Mastered for iTunes” Service</a> was originally published in <a href="https://news.distrokid.com">DistroKid News</a> on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.</p>

Introducing 7 new payout options
<figure><img src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*VLVurTNalXlmVZBk7gsU1w.jpeg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" /></figure><p>PayPal is great. And until today, it was the only way to get paid by DistroKid.</p><p>But PayPal adds an extra step:<br>DistroKid → <strong>PayPal</strong> → Your Bank.</p><p>Today we’re introducing a suite of new payout options that help streamline the way artists get paid.</p><p>See below for a complete list of DistroKid’s payout options, and the fees charged by our banks & payment providers (which are deducted from the amount you receive):</p><ol>
<li>
<strong>ACH (U.S. only)</strong> — Also known as “direct deposit.” The money goes straight into your bank account. This is how most employers in the U.S. pay their employees. Fee is only $1 per payment.</li>
<li>
<strong>eCheck (U.S.)</strong> — This is like ACH, but reflects as a check in your bank account. $1.50 per payment.</li>
<li>
<strong>eCheck (non-U.S.)</strong> — Same as eCheck above, but $5.00 per payment.</li>
<li>
<strong>Check</strong> — That’s right! We can mail you a paper check. Old school, keepin’ it real. $3 per check.</li>
<li>
<strong>PayPal</strong> — Fast, cheap, works in most countries. $1 plus 2% of the payment amount with a total ceiling of $2 in the U.S. or $21 outside the U.S. Amounts over $10,000 will be split into separate payments.</li>
<li>
<strong>Wire Transfer (U.S.)</strong> — $15 per payment.</li>
<li>
<strong>Wire Transfer (International in local currency)</strong> — $20 per payment.</li>
<li>
<strong>Wire Transfer (International in USD)</strong> — $26 per payment.</li>
</ol><p>By offering more payout flexibility than any other music distributor, coupled with DistroKid’s unmatched <a href="https://news.distrokid.com/splits-2d058e99797b">payment-splitting service</a>, we hope to simplify payment flows for the entire industry.</p><p>As always, DistroKid does not take a percentage. DistroKid artists keep 100% of earnings from sales & streams.</p><p>To set up your payout preferences, visit:<br><a href="https://distrokid.com/payouts">https://distrokid.com/payouts</a></p><p>Thanks for reading.</p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=dcdb0e982367" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" height="1" width="1" /><hr><p><a href="https://news.distrokid.com/payouts-dcdb0e982367">Introducing 7 new payout options</a> was originally published in <a href="https://news.distrokid.com">DistroKid News</a> on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.</p>

Introducing “Synchronized Global Release,” a new feature from DistroKid
<figure><img src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*aEHVDokVTBSSr74hTy9_GQ.jpeg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" /></figure><p>Let’s say you upload a new single to DistroKid. And you’ve set the release date to one-week in the future.</p><p>Then on your release date you tell everyone: “My new single just dropped — listen now on Spotify!“</p><p>But wait, there’s a problem.</p><p>Streaming services release new music in each country <em>according to its timezone</em>. So if your single goes live at midnight in London, it won’t be available to listeners in New York City for another 5 hours.</p><p><strong>This staggering made sense in the days of physical record stores</strong>. If your album dropped on Tuesday morning, people in Japan naturally got their hands on it before people in Austria. That’s because “Tuesday morning” happens 7 hours earlier in Tokyo than it does in Vienna.</p><p><strong>But it makes no sense in today’s world.</strong></p><p>When you post a photo to Instagram, it’s available to everyone worldwide immediately. It would be dumb if people in later timezones had to wait 7 hours before they could see it.</p><p><strong>Introducing “Synchronized Global Release,” only from DistroKid.</strong></p><p>For the first time, it’s now possible for artists & record labels to release music <strong><em>simultaneously in every country — at the exact same time</em></strong><em>.</em></p><p>You can light up the whole world at once.</p><p>Behind-the-scenes, DistroKid calculates the timezone offset of every country, and then sets specific release-times for each country based on that country’s easternmost timezone. An example would be France at 10:00am, UK at 9:00am, US at 4:00am, etc.</p><p>Sounds tricky, but it’s not. We made it super easy. Just specify:</p><ol>
<li>Desired release date</li>
<li>What time you want it to go live in New York, USA (we’ll do all our calculations based on US Eastern Time).</li>
<li>Bonus: You can pick <em>any time</em>. Not just midnight. So 10am is okay. So is 5:30pm. Or whenever.</li>

It only works for Spotify currently but we plan on bringing SGR to more streaming services in the future.</p><p>One of our goals at DistroKid is to modernize the industry.</p><p>This is us doing that.</p><p>Hope you enjoy!</p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=9655d575fad4" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" height="1" width="1" /><hr><p><a href="https://news.distrokid.com/synchronized-global-release-9655d575fad4">Introducing “Synchronized Global Release,” a new feature from DistroKid</a> was originally published in <a href="https://news.distrokid.com">DistroKid News</a> on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.</p>

Introducing HyperFollow, DistroKid’s Clever Way To Get More Spotify Followers
<figure><img src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*W9FwdANDUKifnneNSWzYhg.jpeg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" /></figure><p>Today we’re excited to announce <strong>HyperFollow</strong>, a free service from <a href="http://distrokid.com/vip/hyperfollow10">DistroKid</a> that helps artists amass a larger fanbase on Spotify.</p><p>The way it works is simple.</p><p>Let’s say you want to tell people on Instagram or Facebook (or wherever) about your Spotify music. Instead of sending them directly to Spotify, you can now send them to your <em>HyperFollow</em> page.</p><p>Here’s an example HyperFollow page:<br><a href="https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/kylegee/bLAm">https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/kylegee/bLAm</a></p><figure><img src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*MBruarvw2e5LxA5vbvoqvA.jpeg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" /><figcaption>HyperFollow page for the Kyle Gee single, “Heartbreak”</figcaption></figure><p>Here are some of the benefits:</p><h3>More followers</h3><p>Anyone who clicks the button on your HyperFollow page will automatically follow you on Spotify.</p><figure><img src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*Gls38G-szTuJIXGQxhPggw.jpeg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" /></figure><p>Having more followers makes it more likely you’ll appear on algorithmic playlists like “Release Radar” and “Discover Weekly,” which are personalized for each Spotify listener based on various factors — including who they follow.</p><p>And as you grow your Spotify following, you’ll increase the likelihood of getting noticed by Spotify’s human & robot editors, who can potentially add you to bigger, curated playlists.</p><h3>More listeners</h3><p>In addition to following your artist page on Spotify, whoever clicks the button will also <strong><em>automatically save your album to their Spotify library</em></strong>.</p><figure><img src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*mm-PWyIxikdQM4IjgzAF8Q.jpeg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" /></figure><p>This reduces the risk that someone will listen once and forget about you. Because you’ll be right there in their Spotify library, ready for more listens.</p><p>Also, immediately after someone clicks your HyperFollow button, they’re presented with an embedded Spotify player that has your track preloaded. So they can listen right there on the HyperFollow page. <a href="https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/kylegee/382180">Try it here</a>.</p><h3>More contacts</h3><p>You will be given each fan’s email address.</p><h3>More research</h3><p>You will have access to the city-level geographic location and other (anonymized) demographic information about your fans.</p><h3>More insight</h3><p>You’ll be able to see the other music that your fans are listening too. Even if those other artists don’t use DistroKid. #magic</p><figure><img src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/762/1*uEYGienYkPG5OaByC1kDNg.png" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" /></figure><h3>More stats</h3><p>You’ll know how many people visited your HyperFollow page, and how many followers you added.</p><h3>Pre-save</h3><p>If you’ve uploaded your release to DistroKid but it’s not yet live in Spotify, HyperFollow automatically turns into a “<strong><em>pre-save</em></strong>” service.</p><figure><img src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*lrRGbLBU0RUy3mu1MF9lWw.png" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" /><figcaption>HyperFollow pre-save for album that’s not yet released. <a href="https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/thesundaymornings/532225">Example here</a>.</figcaption></figure><p>Fans can click the button any time — even before your album drops. DistroKid will then detect the moment your album goes live. And will <em>automatically</em> add all your new followers and saves on your release date. You don’t have to think about it or do anything.</p><p>HyperFollow is free for all DistroKid members. It’s available today, and supports all DistroKid releases — even old tracks.</p><p>To get started:</p><ol>
<li>Sign into DistroKid</li>
<li>Click “Settings” (the gear icon)</li>
<li>Click “HyperFollow”</li>

Send Your Credits & Liner Notes To Streaming Services — Only With DistroKid
<figure><img src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*L44zodLGGpSDCO_1cpvCUA.jpeg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" /></figure><p><strong>Beginning today, DistroKid artists can send song credits & liner notes to streaming services.</strong></p><p>This is an amazing service that is only available to DistroKid and our members. No other distributor offers it. So if you’re using a different distributor, <a href="http://distrokid.com/vip/credits20">click here for a 20% discount</a> and switch to DistroKid today.</p><h3><strong>Background</strong></h3><p>If you’re a musician and your music is in streaming services like Apple Music and Spotify, your distributor sends <em>a very limited amount</em> of information (aka “metadata”) about your music to these services.</p><p>Here’s what gets sent:</p><ul>
<li>Album title</li>
<li>Song title</li>
<li>Artist name</li>
<li>General info like genre, language, and release date.</li>
<li>And in some cases: Songwriter, producer, and remixer.</li>
</ul><h3>What’s being added?</h3><p>DistroKid’s new service collects the following extended metadata:</p><ul>
<li>
<strong>Songwriters</strong> and whether they contributed lyrics, music — or both.</li>
<li>
<strong>Musicians</strong> and their instrument. Supports drums, bass, guitar, keyboard, kazoo, didgeridoo, triangle, flugelhorn, and almost 100 other instruments.</li>
<li>
<strong>Producers</strong> and beat makers.</li>
<li>
<strong>Designer</strong> of your album artwork, including photographer and graphic designer.</li>
<li>
<strong>Everyone else involved </strong>and their job. Arrangers, choirs, agents, managers, drivers, drum techs, hair stylists, and over 160 other predefined roles.</li>
<li>
<strong>The studio </strong>and information about <em>where</em> and <em>how</em> the music was recorded.</li>
<li>
<strong>Gear & equipment </strong>that was used. Artists can list all instruments, computers, software, and recording gear.</li>
<li>
<strong>Social media links </strong>including Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and more.</li>
<li>
<strong>Contact information</strong> for booking, management, and general inquiries.</li>
<li>
<strong>Inspiration and musical influences</strong> that you’d like to share.</li>
<li>
<strong>Shout outs and thank you’s</strong> for anyone you want to acknowledge.</li>

<strong>Lyrics</strong> to all your songs. (we launched our lyric service <a href="https://news.distrokid.com/lyrics-558e067bdd30">a few weeks ago</a> but it’s relevant here too.)</li>

But streaming services are getting serious about collecting metadata.</p><p>Even DDEX (the language that distributors use to deliver data to stores) is getting metadata-nutty with the recent introduction of <a href="http://www.ddex.net/recording-information-notification-rin">RIN</a>, a new standard that supports <a href="http://service.ddex.net/dd/RIN10/">thousands</a> of new metadata types. In their words:</p><blockquote>There are a number of metadata elements that may be worth capturing. The richer the data, the better retailers can market the products — which can potentially increase the audience and revenue generated.</blockquote><p>And we’re already seeing innovation.</p><p>For example, <strong>Spotify</strong> just announced (<a href="https://news.spotify.com/us/2018/02/02/spotify-launches-new-songwriter-credits-feature/">here</a>) that they’re going to show songwriter credits in the app. <strong>Apple Music</strong> shows lyrics (<a href="https://news.distrokid.com/lyrics-558e067bdd30">and DistroKid lets you add lyrics</a>). <strong>Tidal</strong> shows artists’ Facebook & Twitter links. <strong>Amazon </strong>Echo lets you find songs by saying “Alexa, play the song that goes ‘<em>now I’m falling asleep and she’s taking a cab</em>.’”</p><p>And this is just the beginning.</p><p>DistroKid’s new service is capable of sending an extreme amount of detailed metadata to streaming services.</p><p>Some streaming services can handle it all. Others only have the capability to accept a small portion for now—but likely more in the future.</p><p>DistroKid’s new service will monitor each streaming partner, and continuously update them with the maximum amount of metadata they can handle at any time.</p><p>DistroKid’s goal is to help our artists be successful. We were the first distributor to offer unlimited uploads for one price with no commission. We’re also the first to offer <a href="https://news.distrokid.com/splits-2d058e99797b">automatic royalty splits</a>, <a href="https://news.distrokid.com/instant-verification-on-spotify-for-all-distrokid-artists-41a0ed00b484">instant verification on Spotify</a>, <a href="https://news.distrokid.com/lyrics-558e067bdd30">lyric uploads to Apple Music</a>, <a href="https://news.distrokid.com/distrokid-artists-can-now-instantly-update-their-apple-artist-photo-b8b1c07bf757">artist photos</a>, <a href="https://news.distrokid.com/introducing-distrokid-vault-89eb4d3474df">free backups</a>, and many more.</p><p>This new service makes a massive amount of new information available to streaming companies. Which they can use to build cool stuff. Which ultimately helps artists become more successful.</p><p>It’s called “credits” and it’s available today — and it’s <em>free</em> for all DistroKid members.</p><p>Add your credits now by clicking visiting: <br><a href="https://distrokid.com/credits">https://distrokid.com/credits</a></p><p>…or by clicking “Settings” (the gear icon in DistroKid) and “Credits.”</p><p>Thanks for reading… and enjoy!</p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=34db783febf6" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" height="1" width="1" /><hr><p><a href="https://news.distrokid.com/credits-34db783febf6">Send Your Credits & Liner Notes To Streaming Services — Only With DistroKid</a> was originally published in <a href="https://news.distrokid.com">DistroKid News</a> on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.</p>

Introducing Automatic Revenue Splits
<figure><img src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*ViJcUtSE0mONxhDO7HSGNA.jpeg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" /></figure><p><strong>DistroKid can split earnings from any song or album.</strong> And <em>automatically</em> send those earnings to your collaborators.</p><p>That means musicians can easily share earnings with producers, beat makers, featured artists, and anyone else.</p><p>Just specify a collaborator’s email address and what percentage of earnings you want them to receive. Then DistroKid will make sure they get paid for every stream and download.</p><p>You never have to worry about accounting, and you never have to send money to anyone. We do it for you.</p><p>A few other cool things:</p><ul>
<li>You can add <em>unlimited</em> collaborators to any track.</li>
<li>You can change the splits any time.</li>
<li>You can add or remove collaborators any time.</li>
<li>You can go back in time and see any previous splits.</li>
<li>For privacy, collaborators can only see what percentage <em>they get</em>. They can’t see who your other collaborators are, or what percentage other folks are getting.</li>
<li>Your collaborators will need to make a DistroKid account but they’ll get a 50% discount, so it’s only 10 bucks.</li>
</ul><figure><img src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*k3l1_fiYW8aEz0f_2LDnLQ.png" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" /><figcaption>Setting up splits. You can change splits any time — and see historical splits, too.</figcaption></figure><p>Automatic splits are great for artists. They’re powerful labels, too. That’s because accounting is hard and not fun. So let DistroKid’s automated robots do it for you (with all due respect to any human accountants reading this).</p><p>We soft-launched splits around a year ago. But we’re announcing it more widely today. It’s called “Teams” because you’re essentially setting up a <em>team </em>of collaborators for any song.</p><p>Happy to announce that DistroKid members have created <strong>300,000 teams</strong> so far.</p><p>We hope our splits feature makes life easier for DistroKid artists & labels. And helps ensure that more artists get paid.</p><p>Thanks for reading and please enjoy.</p><p>For more firsts from DistroKid, check out our new <a href="https://news.distrokid.com/lyrics-558e067bdd30">lyrics delivery</a>, <a href="https://news.distrokid.com/instant-verification-on-spotify-for-all-distrokid-artists-41a0ed00b484">instant Spotify verification</a>, and <a href="https://news.distrokid.com/distrokid-artists-can-now-instantly-update-their-apple-artist-photo-b8b1c07bf757">Apple photo uploader</a>.</p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=2d058e99797b" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" height="1" width="1" /><hr><p><a href="https://news.distrokid.com/splits-2d058e99797b">Introducing Automatic Revenue Splits</a> was originally published in <a href="https://news.distrokid.com">DistroKid News</a> on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.</p>

That over 1.5 million tracks!</p><p>Starting today, you have access to these backups <em>and can</em> <em>download any file you’ve ever uploaded to DistroKid, any time</em>.

You’re all going to die!
<figure><img src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*YjQiq2fhfKfQs4PKpkJRhw.jpeg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" /></figure><p>It’s true.</p><p>Sorry for the macabre headline. But what happens to your music when you die?</p><p><strong>If you use CD Baby</strong>, your music will stay in stores (after an initial per-album upload fee), but CD Baby will siphon 9% of your earnings to themselves, forever.</p><p><strong>If you use TuneCore</strong>, things are grim. TuneCore will ostensibly <strong>delete all your music from stores</strong> when they try to rebill your expired credit card (because you’re dead) for the annual per-album fee.</p><p><strong>At DistroKid, we’d like your music to live on forever. </strong>And maybe even make your kin some money.</p><p>That’s why we recently launched our new “<strong>Leave a Legacy</strong>” feature.</p><p>Opt any album or single into <em>Leave a Legacy</em>, and we’ll make sure your music stays in stores <strong><em>forever</em></strong>, even after you die, even if your credit card expires, even if you can’t keep your DistroKid membership alive.</p><p>And we’ll continue to pass along 100% of earnings to you (or whoever gets your dough after you’ve kicked).</p><p>Pricing for <em>Leave a Legacy</em> is a one-time (non recurring) payment of:</p><ul>
<li>$29 for a single</li>
<li>$49 for an album</li>
</ul><p>I chose this pricing because it’s the exact same pricing our friends at CD Baby (it’s true, they are our actual friends) charge to upload a new single or album. But unlike CD Baby, who will take 9% of your earnings forever, DistroKid takes nothing. So it’s an easy choice.</p><p>To opt-into <em>Leave a Legacy</em>, find the option on DistroKid’s<em> upload form</em> (for new releases) or on your <em>DistroKid album page</em> (for your previous releases).</p><p>Fine print: If stores remove your music, or if there’s a DMCA copyright takedown, or if anything else out of our control happens, or if there’s some significant change to our relationship with stores (like they start charging us a buncha money to keep your album there… which we don’t expect), tough noogies. But otherwise, you’re good to go — and your music will be around longer than you are.</p><p>Thanks for reading,<br>Philip Kaplan<br>Founder of DistroKid <br><a href="https://distrokid.com">http://distrokid.com</a></p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=93f343c073e5" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" height="1" width="1" /><hr><p><a href="https://news.distrokid.com/youre-all-going-to-die-93f343c073e5">You’re all going to die!</a> was originally published in <a href="https://news.distrokid.com">DistroKid News</a> on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.</p>

How we work (also, DistroKid is hiring!)
<figure><img src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*YbM26GiFQTPHrS4wsET5qg.jpeg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" /></figure><p><strong>May 27, 2017 update — The position has been filled! Thank you to everyone who expressed interest.</strong></p><p><strong>May 8, 2017 update—We received over 900 applications (wow!). We haven’t filled the position yet but we’re a little backlogged. So if you haven’t heard back yet, hold tight!</strong></p><p>DistroKid has a famously small team.</p><p>There are only four of us! Two engineers, and two in artist relations.</p><p>No investors, no board of directors.</p><p>Just four folks who love what we do.</p><p>Despite our small team and relative newness (we launched in 2013), DistroKid has become one of the largest music distributors in the world.</p><ul>
<li>We work with over 100,000 artists</li>
<li>We release hundreds of new albums every day</li>
<li>We pay millions of dollars to artists every month</li>
</ul><p>Ask anyone who knows what’s up and they’ll tell you DistroKid is the best distributor they ever used. We’ve <em>dominated</em> over our competitors — many of which raised millions and/or have hundreds of employees.</p><p>And we’re just getting started.</p><p>We’re growing fast and about to launch some new, mind-blowing products for artists.</p><figure><img src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/960/1*1jmTOE0h07r0fT9JdxzyQw.jpeg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" /><figcaption>DistroKid team (then 3 people) hanging in Seattle, 2016.</figcaption></figure><p>Here’s how the office works:</p><ul>
<li>
<strong>There is no office. </strong>Everyone works from home. Maybe it’s not for everyone. But I like working in a bathrobe & slippers.</li>
<li>
<strong>One meeting per week.</strong> Most companies have a lot of meetings. We only have one. It’s a team videoconference every Friday afternoon. It’s fun and productive. Other than that, we chat on <a href="https://slack.com/">Slack</a>. We meet in person about once per quarter, somewhere fun. Sometimes we throw events (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wD725QElqo8">like this</a>). Next month we’ll be in Nashville at the <a href="https://musicbiz.org/events/music-biz-2017/">MusicBiz convention</a> — say hi if you’re there!</li>
<li>
<strong>No set hours. </strong>Got an errand to run? Doctors appointment? Sleep in til noon? All good. I became an entrepreneur because I hate alarm clocks. I still do.</li>
<li>
<strong>Don’t work too hard.</strong> Startups pride themselves on working employees to the bone. Not here. My goal is for there to be less than 7 hours of work per day per person. We’re above that now, which is one of the reasons we’re hiring.</li>
</ul><p><strong>We’re hiring!</strong></p><p>We’d like to hire one more person. This person will have two roles:</p><ol>
<li>
<strong>Customer service.</strong> Help with questions that artists email us. Our goal is to always “surprise & delight” — which sometimes means giving free upgrades, refunds, and other unexpected perks. Thrill DistroKid artists until they <a href="https://distrokid.com/love/">love us so badly</a> that they never want to leave.</li>
<li>
<strong>Assistant to the CEO</strong>. Help with scheduling, make sure I follow up on things, and anything else that helps keep me (and the team) stay <em>organized & focused on DistroKid</em>. This is both an <strong><em>executive</em> assistant</strong> and <strong><em>personal</em> assistant</strong> role. You won’t have to pick up my dry cleaning (I’m a t-shirt kinda guy), but you wouldn’t be opposed to it.</li>
</ol><p>This is a full-time role (first 90-days contract, then full-time if we like each other). Greatly prefer someone <strong>in (or near) New York City</strong>. We do not discriminate on gender, race, physical disability, gender identity, etc.</p><p>There are two main qualifications:</p><ol>
<li>
<strong>Be organized</strong>. I am not organized. So I need someone who is.</li>
<li>
<strong>Be a great writer</strong>. Most of our communication (with customers, and amongst the team) is written — via email, Slack, and text.</li>
</ol><p><strong>How to apply:</strong></p><p>Send an email to <strong>jobs@distrokid.com</strong>. Tell me how to change the photo (avatar) on <a href="https://twitter.com/distrokid">our Twitter account</a> (so we can get a sense of your writing). Also include your location, contact info, a paragraph or two about you, and your resume if you have one.</p><p>Thanks!</p><p>Philip Kaplan<br>Founder & CEO <br>DistroKid</p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=dba6d592a90a" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" height="1" width="1" /><hr><p><a href="https://news.distrokid.com/how-we-work-also-distrokid-is-hiring-dba6d592a90a">How we work (also, DistroKid is hiring!)</a> was originally published in <a href="https://news.distrokid.com">DistroKid News</a> on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.</p>

How to tell if your music distributor is ripping you off
<figure><img src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*6R2IUT8kQtg3leR7G_RnMQ.jpeg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" /></figure><p>A <em>music distributor</em> is a company that helps musicians (and record labels) get their music into iTunes, Spotify, Google Play, and other online music stores & streaming services.</p><p>There are lot of distributors. (I happen to run one called <a href="https://distrokid.com">DistroKid</a>. But this article isn’t an ad for us.)</p><p>One of my responsibilities is to help identify & root-out baddies that prey on musicians. Every week, some new company asks us to partner with them. They want us to offer their services to our artists.</p><p>Some companies are legit. For example, we love working with the excellent <a href="https://loudr.com">Loudr</a> (they’re great!) to get cover licenses for our artists.</p><p>But most of the time we pass on partnerships. That’s because too many companies are driven by <em>taking money</em> from artists, rather than <em>helping</em> them.</p><p>Sometimes, sadly, this applies to distribution companies, too.</p><p><strong>Here’s a secret: Distribution isn’t that hard.</strong></p><p>I run a large distributor. We put your music in stores. Then our work is mostly done.</p><p>We pay you every month, but that’s about as difficult as sending a PayPal.</p><p>Based on the above, you should understand that rule #1 is <strong>don’t ever give a percentage of your earnings to a distributor.</strong></p><p>Giving your distributor 5% means that if you manage to make $20,000 from your music, <strong><em>you’re paying $1,000 to your distributor</em></strong><em>— </em>for a thing they helped you with on day-one (which wasn’t very hard in the first place).</p><p>That is insane.</p><p>It’s even more insane when you realize your distributor does <em>the same amount of work</em> whether an artist earns 1 dollar or 1 million. So you shouldn’t have to pay <em>more</em> if you happen to be more successful.</p><p><em>You’re</em> the one marketing, gigging, & clawing your way to success. Not your distributor. If you don’t use DistroKid, that’s okay (even tho we’re great and don’t take a cut!) —<strong> but please don’t willingly pay a tax to your distributor</strong>.</p><p>That’s just silly.</p><p><strong>But it’s easier said than done. </strong>The weird thing is that a lot of (most?) distributors will try to trick you into thinking their service is free.</p><p>“What?” you ask.</p><p>I don’t want to name names. Because I don’t want to give them attention. But here are some examples of what the internet calls “<a href="https://darkpatterns.org/">dark patterns</a>” — web design that’s intended to trick users into agreeing to things they wouldn’t normally agree to.</p><p>Below are actual screenshots from various distributors. If you’re reading this and you work at one of the companies depicted below, please respect artists and… just… stop it.</p><figure><img src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/927/1*hTMFVpBZX9LeoM8Xlmgrcg.jpeg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" /></figure><p><strong>“CREATE MY FREE ACCOUNT”<br></strong>This is one of the largest distributors in the world. There is nothing “free” about it. Once you sign up, it’s $29.99/year to distribute an album. To their credit, they don’t take a cut of your earnings. But they make up for that with extraordinarily high per-album yearly fees. But however you slice it, <strong>it is not free.</strong></p><figure><img src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/944/1*iqhmgJ1XhXTokbKnFvrYrA.jpeg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" /></figure><p><strong>“FREE MUSIC DISTRIBUTION… PAY $0…”</strong><br>Buried in the fine print, you’ll discover this company takes a massive 15% (higher than anyone else) from all of your earnings, for life. So if you manage to earn $5,000 over a few years, you’ve just paid these guys $750. <strong>It is not free.</strong></p><figure><img src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*TOg3ZiiW4QbBFXaBMACMEg.jpeg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" /></figure><p><strong>“SIGN UP FOR A FREE ACCOUNT”</strong><br>This well-known distributor is anything but free. They charge $49 to distribute an album <em>and</em><strong> </strong>take 9% of your earnings. Forever. <strong>It is not free.</strong></p><figure><img src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*1IYua_S_EbNU-JIgyZBrQQ.jpeg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" /></figure><p><strong>“WE BELIEVE THAT DISTRIBUTION SHOULD BE FREE”</strong><br>This is a new distributor. They take 5% of your earnings. In this interview, the CEO says their distribution service is “free” but the money they do take is for their “payment solution” (i.e. paying out artists, which every distributor does). Lol. <strong>It is not free.</strong></p><figure><img src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*cKGkkoj8KfwI6PtOVnbHyw.jpeg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" /></figure><p><strong>“KEEP 100% OF YOUR RIGHTS AND OWNERSHIP”</strong><br>That’s there to mislead you into thinking you get to keep 100% of your earnings. You don’t. In reality, <strong>they keep around 10% of your earnings</strong>. I can’t find anywhere on their site where they disclose this. They don’t even have relationships with stores — they use InGrooves (another music distributor) in the backend, and it’s InGrooves who takes the ~10% before earnings even get to these guys. <strong>It is not free.</strong></p><p>Bonus: What’s with mentioning Lady Gaga, One Republic, Maroon 5 and Eminem? That’s there to make potential customers think those artists use this distribution service. They don’t. And neither should you.</p><figure><img src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*Lg7_ZwAyyqGFo-y5WCRKIQ.jpeg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" /></figure><p><strong>“FREE FOREVER”</strong><br>They take 10%. <strong>It is not free</strong>.</p><p>I could go on. But this is depressing so imma stop.</p><p>I’ll add more screenshots to this post over time. But you get the idea.</p><p>Why write this post? To help. But also because <a href="http://distrokid.com">my company</a> is playing in a field where almost all of my competitors are happy to say “free” even though they’re not. And I’m over here saying “$20 a year” like some jerk. We don’t take a cut of earnings and our price includes unlimited uploads. But what does that matter when everyone else is all “<em>free! woooo! omg!!!!!!!</em>”</p><p>Sigh.</p><p>One more thing. If I can defend streaming services for a moment. You sometimes hear streaming services get a bad rap for paying not very much to artists. They actually pay a lot, relatively speaking. But there are so many hands in the artist’s cookie jar that streaming services end up taking the fall. Just my opinion, but be nicer to streaming services. And less nice to the other folks taking your money.</p><p>Want to read more?</p><ul>

Ludacris, DistroKid, and the future of music marketing
<figure><img src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*6QEtCi9SkCIBQMPbkdHGAQ.jpeg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" /></figure><p>Ludacris has chosen <a href="https://distrokid.com">DistroKid</a> to release his upcoming single, “<strong>Vitamin D (feat. Ty Dolla $ign).</strong>”</p><p>As a Ludacris fan, this is a milestone (my head contains equal parts DistroKid database code — and Ludacris lyrics.)</p><p>It’s also a milestone for all artists everywhere.</p><p>Two reasons for that.</p><h3><strong>1. Access</strong></h3><p>This is a signal that musicians at all levels increasingly have access to the same platforms used by <em>the most successful artists in the world</em>. Release using DistroKid, and promote in social media. Whether you’re a multi-platinum, Grammy-winning superstar, or a bedroom musician, you’ve got access to both.</p><h3><strong>2. Text-message marketing</strong></h3><p>There’s something amazing I’ve been working on recently. The release of <em>Vitamin D</em> seemed like a great opportunity to show it off for the first time.</p><p>I still don’t have a name for the product, but here’s how it works:</p><ol>
<li>
<strong>Upload your music </strong>— Upload your album or single to DistroKid. Make sure to give it a release-date at least a week in the future.</li>
<li>
<strong>Collect mobile numbers</strong> — We’ll give you a page (<a href="https://distrokid.com/ludacris">like this</a>) that you can share everywhere. It contains a countdown timer to your release date. And it collects the <em>mobile phone numbers</em> of your fans.</li>
<li>
<strong>Send text messages</strong> — When your album drops, you can send a text message to your fans. Our interface for texting is really easy; it’s like sending a tweet. <em>Except everyone reads their texts. </em>Not everyone sees your tweets (or IG or FB posts). Texts will come from a new phone number that we generate for you, so nobody will know your real phone number.</li>
<li>
<strong>Bonus features</strong> — After the album is released, you can continue to stay in touch with fans by texting them any time (not too much, or they’ll opt out!) You can also target fans based on geolocation. For example, if you just want to text fans in London, you can do that. You can read incoming texts from your fans, too, if you want. Finally, the page (that collects phone numbers) also has links to your release on iTunes, Spotify, Amazon, and everywhere else. So it’s super easy for people to listen on their service-of-choice.</li>

The rise of “feat.” in today’s music
<figure><img src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*moByuEvXsYrxEB73I5r4kA.jpeg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" /><figcaption>Run DMC, Beastie Boys, and Kerry King from Slayer (who was featured on Beastie’s song, “No Sleep Till Brooklyn”)</figcaption></figure><p>Collaborations were big in the eighties.</p><p>In a typical month, <strong>seven </strong>of the <a href="http://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100/1981-12-05?order=drop">Billboard Top 100</a> songs featured a collaboration. As opposed to maybe one or two in the 1970’s.</p><p>Some favorites from December 1981 are:</p><ol>
<li>Under Pressure — <em>Queen (</em><strong><em>feat. David Bowie</em></strong><em>)</em>
</li>
<li>Endless Love —<em> Lionel Richie (</em><strong><em>feat. Diana Ross</em></strong><em>)</em>
</li>
<li>Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around — <em>Stevie Nicks (</em><strong><em>feat. Tom Petty</em></strong><em>)</em>
</li>
</ol><p>This year? On average <strong>there are THIRTY-THREE (!!) collaborations</strong> in the <a href="http://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100/2016-12-03?order=drop">Top 100</a> every month.</p><figure><img src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/762/1*jz9ybHH06l8khG45QYHrOg.png" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" /><figcaption>Billboard Hot 100 (December 2016)</figcaption></figure><p>Why is this happening?</p><p>…and where does money flow in this mess?</p><p>At <a href="https://distrokid.com">DistroKid</a>, we analyzed over 1.2 million songs that were uploaded to us over the past four years. These are primarily <em>new</em> songs — we’re a service that artists & labels use to get their new music into stores & streaming services (like iTunes, Spotify, Google Play, Amazon, and more).</p><p>According to our calculations, the number of songs that feature a collaboration <strong>more than doubled over the past two years,</strong> from 5% to 11%.</p><p>And it’s just getting started.</p><blockquote>
<em>Note: For the purposes of this article (and online music service style guides), a </em>collaboration<em> is when the collaborator primarily works separately, but appears on another artist’s track.</em>
</blockquote><blockquote>
<em>Example collaboration: </em><strong><em>Queen (feat. David Bowie)</em></strong><em>. Both artists were working separately when they collaborated on </em>Under Pressure<em>.</em>
</blockquote><blockquote>
<strong><em>NOT</em></strong><em> a collaboration: </em><strong><em>Huey Lewis and the News</em></strong><em>. </em>The News<em> is not a standalone group (at least, not a notable one).</em>
</blockquote><blockquote>
<strong><em>NOT</em></strong><em> a collaboration: </em><strong><em>DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince</em></strong><em>. They do have independent careers. But came to prominence as a group.</em>
</blockquote><p>There are a few reasons why collaborations are on ?</p><h3>1. Hip-Hop</h3><p>Hip-hop is really collaboratey. Ever since (for example) Dr. Dre put then-unknown Snoop Dogg on a track in 1992 that launched Snoop's career, rappers have been teaming up nonstop.</p><iframe src="https://cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fembed%2F_qkP8SvHvaU%3Ffeature%3Doembed&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D_qkP8SvHvaU&image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2F_qkP8SvHvaU%2Fhqdefault.jpg&key=d04bfffea46d4aeda930ec88cc64b87c&type=text%2Fhtml&schema=youtube" width="640" height="480" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"><a href="https://medium.com/media/efb910913cca378ff01105b3c001df44/href">https://medium.com/media/efb910913cca378ff01105b3c001df44/href</a></iframe><p>At DistroKid, it’s not unusual to see a hip-hop album with 3 collaborators listed in each song. So a 15-song album might have 45 different “featuring” artists.</p><p>DistroKid has distributed over 152,000 hip-hop tracks. An astounding <strong>42% of them feature a collaborator</strong> in the song title. That’s up from 20% just two years ago.</p><p>Compare that to the small number of rock collaborations at around 2%.</p><h3>2. P<em>roducers</em>
</h3><p>“Producer” means a lot of things. But for this, we’re talking about a solo musician who uses computers to make music & beats.</p><p>What was once “<strong>Gloria Gaynor”</strong> (with a 9-piece studio band) singing <em>I Will Survive</em>, is now “<strong>Rihanna (feat. Calvin Harris)”</strong> singing <em>We Found Love</em>.</p><p>That last bit in parenthesis is important.</p><p>Calvin Harris is the producer — he made all the music on the track except vocals. He’s a one-man “The E. Street Band” — but isn’t tied to any single vocalist. <em>So almost every song he makes is a collaboration</em>.</p><h3>3. YouTube</h3><p>DistroKid works with the most prolific YouTube musicians in the world. YouTubers all know that the most effective way to increase audience is by collaborating with other YouTubers. There’s an entire lesson on YouTube’s “Creator Academy” (<a href="https://creatoracademy.youtube.com/page/lesson/collaboration">see here</a>) that teaches YouTubers how to do collaborations.</p><iframe src="https://cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fembed%2FRBRtAe7d6_8%3Ffeature%3Doembed&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DRBRtAe7d6_8&image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FRBRtAe7d6_8%2Fhqdefault.jpg&key=d04bfffea46d4aeda930ec88cc64b87c&type=text%2Fhtml&schema=youtube" width="854" height="480" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"><a href="https://medium.com/media/81e998743a01fa22d6584ffe3ea4d30c/href">https://medium.com/media/81e998743a01fa22d6584ffe3ea4d30c/href</a></iframe><p>So this all begs the question: with up to 45 collaborators on an album, and 500 albums uploaded every day, how does everyone get paid?</p><p>How does the artist (or label) accurately split earnings amongst collaborators?</p><p><strong>Without an automated solution at the distributor level, they don’t.</strong></p><p>It’s nearly impossible.</p><p>It’s easy to figure out how much an artist made. But if you want to figure out how much each collaborator is owed from <em>each stream</em>… now you’re looking at <strong>millions of rows </strong>in<strong> hundreds of royalty reports </strong>from<strong> dozens of sources</strong> — <em>every month</em>.</p><p>Payments are paid in fractions of cents.</p><p>Did I say fractions? I meant 20 decimal places.</p><p>Did I say cents? I meant 30 different currencies.</p><p>Did I say 30 different currencies? I meant a 350-row exchange rate lookup table. “Customer currency: <em>Swedish Krona</em>, royalty currency: <em>Ukrainian Hryvnia</em>” is a thing (and so on, and so on).</p><p>Did I say a 350-row exchange rate lookup table? I meant a <em>different table every month</em> — from every streaming provider.</p><p>But wait. A featured artist might be due 20% of one track and 18% of another — but how does it get split when someone buys the <em>entire album </em>(as opposed to a single track) from iTunes?</p><p>But wait. Some countries withhold tax, some don’t. Gotta calculate that.</p><p>You get the idea.</p><p><strong>DistroKid is the first distributor in the world that can automatically split payments amongst collaborators.</strong></p><p>All an artist needs to do is specify who’s featured on which track, and what percent of earnings each collaborator should earn.</p><p>So a 5-piece band could split earnings equally 5-ways. Or a rapper could carve out 20% of a track for the guest rapper. Or a YouTube musician could give her cameraman & makeup artist a cut.</p><p>Or if you want a glimpse into the future… a producer could give a cut of his earnings to the owner of the drum beat he sampled. Or a remixer could give a cut to <em>the original artist</em> who made the song she’s remixing.</p><p>With DistroKid, it’s automated.</p><p>And it’s accurate.</p><p>To 20 decimal places.</p><p>We’ve all heard of record labels ripping off artists. I don’t know much about that. But I do know that it’s practically impossible (and un-fun to attempt) to calculate splits accurately — unless you’re able to do precise split calculations on millions of rows, for every stream, in every currency, at the distributor level.</p><p>Which your distributor doesn’t do.</p><p>Unless your distributor is DistroKid.</p><iframe src="https://cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fembed%2FF2rAnM1FTCo%3Ffeature%3Doembed&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DF2rAnM1FTCo&image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FF2rAnM1FTCo%2Fhqdefault.jpg&key=d04bfffea46d4aeda930ec88cc64b87c&type=text%2Fhtml&schema=youtube" width="854" height="480" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"><a href="https://medium.com/media/b4f679342d0ece188e19b79646ce5855/href">https://medium.com/media/b4f679342d0ece188e19b79646ce5855/href</a></iframe><p><em>Thanks for reading.

What I’ve been up to for the past 4 years
<figure><img src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*zfF7-Ax3TEwfHIWLgchkAg.jpeg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" /><figcaption>Almost every day. People tell us. DistroKid has the best burgers.</figcaption></figure><p><strong>Short version:</strong><br>I made a thing called <a href="http://distrokid.com">DistroKid</a>. It got big!</p><p><strong>Longer version:</strong><br>If you don’t already know, DistroKid is a music distributor.</p><p>That means we help musicians & record labels get their music into online stores & streaming services (iTunes, Spotify, Pandora, Google Play, Amazon, and more).</p><p>Then we collect the royalties and pay out. Payments go either to the artist, or to any group of collaborators that the artist specifies, in any percentage.</p><p>When I came up with the idea for DistroKid, the incumbents were TuneCore and CD Baby. They were big — but old. I respect those guys; they paved the way for a lot of this stuff. But I knew it’d be possible to use today’s technology to build something:</p><ul>
<li>
<strong><em>Cheaper</em></strong>: Musicians pay only $19.99 per year for <strong><em>unlimited</em></strong> uploads, and keep 100% of their royalties. Competitors charge per-album and take a large percent of royalties.</li>
<li>
<strong><em>Better designed</em></strong>: This was a low bar.</li>
<li>
<strong><em>More features</em></strong>: Cover song licensing, automatic payments to collaborators, YouTube ContentID matching, two-factor authentication, more…</li>
<li>
<strong><em>Faster at getting music into stores</em></strong>: Often within 2 hours</li>
</ul><p>I thought it would take 1–2 months to build DistroKid. It’s just plugging into some APIs and moving files around, right?</p><p>I underestimated.</p><p>It took a year. The longest I ever spent building something before launching it. Had I known it would’ve taken that long, I might not have begun.</p><p>I <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2013/05/28/distrokid-launch/">launched DistroKid</a> in 2013.</p><p>This is a crowded industry with more than a dozen competitors. But DistroKid is great. It’s the first product I’ve built (<a href="http://allthingsd.com/20110831/exclusive-mailchimp-buys-phil-kaplans-tiny-start-up-tinyletter/">and</a> <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2011/02/10/crapp-store/">I</a> <a href="https://distrokid.com/images/inc-magazine.jpg">have</a> <a href="http://venturebeat.com/2007/11/29/qa-with-philip-kaplan-on-adbrites-funding-round-and-more/">built</a> <a href="http://www.trinitude.com/web/2009/04/28/tweetname-lets-you-find-and-purchase-domain-names-via-twitter-oh-pud/">a</a> <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Fd-Companies-Spectacular-Dot-com-Flameouts/dp/0743228626/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1487115542&sr=8-1&keywords=f%27d+companies">lot</a> <a href="http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,1553483,00.asp">of</a> <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2012/04/06/philip-kaplan-fandalism/">things</a>, <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2008/08/14/hitmelater-sorta-fixes-my-email-problem-sorta-makes-it-worse/">yo</a>) where I truly feel that if you go with one of my competitors, you messed up.</p><p>Nevertheless, I figured only a small number of smart people would somehow find us among the masses. They’d love us, but we’d be the microbrew of distributors. Our signup page doesn’t say “Thank You!” — it says “Congratulations!”. Because you found us, and you made the right decision.</p><p>I underestimated.</p><p>Here are some numbers:</p><ul>
<li>
<strong>500</strong> new albums uploaded every day</li>
<li>
<strong>2,100</strong> new songs uploaded every day</li>
<li>
<strong>100,000+ </strong>artists</li>
<li>
<strong>250,000</strong> albums uploaded since launch</li>
<li>
<strong>1.2 million </strong>songs uploaded since launch</li>
<li>
<strong>$2 million </strong>paid to artists this month</li>
<li>
<strong>$17 million </strong>paid to artists since launch</li>
<li>
<strong>3 billion </strong>streams</li>
<li>
<strong>A buttload </strong>of hit songs, endorsements from artists (<a href="https://distrokid.com/love/">professionals</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/distrokid/likes">everyone</a>), unsolicited endorsements from the <strong>founder of TuneCore</strong> (<a href="https://twitter.com/TuneCoreJeff/status/824017329583521794">here</a>) and <strong>founder of CD Baby</strong> (<a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6519175">here</a>), <a href="http://www.forbes.com/sites/natalierobehmed/2015/07/24/how-these-independent-artists-reached-no-1-on-the-itunes-chart/#49c5fe4b55ae">#1 albums</a>, Billboard charting songs (<a href="http://www.billboard.com/artist/7447109/21-savage/chart">such as</a>) …and even an RIAA <a href="https://www.riaa.com/gold-platinum/?tab_active=default-award&ar=ILOVEMEMPHIS">platinum record</a>!</li>
</ul><figure><img src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*xrqSSz7kSkdpu6Dj6IlmzQ.jpeg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" /><figcaption>Never thought I’d have one of these. Thanks, “Hit The Quan” by iHeartMemphis.</figcaption></figure><p>In the four years since launch, DistroKid has become the largest music distributor in the world by many counts.</p><p>Our secret:</p><ul>
<li>
<strong>We only have three employees.</strong> A programmer (me) and 2 customer/artist service reps (who are amazing).</li>
<li>
<strong>DistroKid has dozens of automated bots that run 24/7.</strong> These bots do things that humans do at other distributors. For example, verifying that artwork & song files are correct, changing song titles to comply with each stores’ unique style guide, checking for infringement, delivering files & artwork to stores, updating sales & streaming stats for artists, processing payments, and more.</li>
<li>These are the reasons why we can charge less (lower overhead) while delivering to stores faster & providing more features (almost everything is automated).</li>
</ul><p>By contrast, our competitors largely have millions in funding, big teams that do things computers are better at doing, and legacy code that can’t easily handle new features. And they’re owned by venture capitalists and/or private equity firms who are banking on a large exit. There’s a lot of outside pressure on our competitors to squeeze every penny out of artists that they can. I understand. I’ve <a href="https://gigaom.com/2007/11/29/online-ads-still-the-new-black-as-adbrite-raises-23m/">been</a> <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2010/01/14/blippy-funding/">there</a>.</p><p>DistroKid intentionally has a small team and no investors. We’re here to make the world a better place for musicians — not to make billions from them. We’d make ludicrously more money if we charged what the other distributors do.</p><p>We do alright though.</p><p>(btw you’re a dummy if you give any percentage of your earnings to a distributor. for goodness sakes. if you don’t use DistroKid, that’s okay-but please don’t give a cut of your earnings to any distributor unless they’re also massively promoting you and helping with marketing; the only way they’d deserve it. if we took 9% of earnings [we take nothing] there are a handful of artists who’d owe us more than $100,000 each. for moving a few files around. that ain’t right.)</p><p>DistroKid’s goal has always been to make a more artist-friendly way to get music into online stores & streaming services. That way, releases that might not have otherwise been uploaded to stores, can be… and have the chance to become viral hits — and often do.</p><p>If you use DistroKid, thank you so much. If you’re one of our partner companies, thank you so much. We love you.</p><p><em>Hope you enjoyed this post; the first on DistroKid’s new blog.
