Almost 20 years ago, two guys were sitting in a café in Vienna, Austria, trying to answer a simple question: Why was it so expensive and difficult to get your music onto the major digital platforms?

It made absolutely no sense to them.

The few distribution companies around at the time were charging quite high fees for their services, while taking weeks to deliver music to the platforms.

And the funny thing was, the problem wasn't technical. Ripping a CD and converting music into digital files took five minutes. Most recording studios and artists had already switched to digital production in one form or another. The technology was there.

Metadata? Sure, it wasn't as sophisticated as it is today. But artists knew who worked on their records. That wasn't exactly rocket science either.

So what was stopping them?

The technology wasn't the problem. The industry was. It was gatekeeping.

And that evening, sitting in the café in Vienna, they decided to build their own music delivery platform. One that would deliver music in hours instead of weeks, without charging partners upfront fees.

Those two guys? We were probably too naive to realize what we were getting ourselves into.

... and the rest is history ;)

With more than 100,000 new tracks arriving on the streaming platforms every day, a release needs more than a few social media posts to get noticed.

We've been active in the music industry for more than two decades and during that time, we've built contacts with radio stations, DJs, music journalists, editors and playlist curators around the world. Much of our work is based on personal outreach, knowing who to approach and understanding what kind of music they're interested in.

Whether you're releasing a single, EP, album or a series of releases, we plan our promotional work around your music, your audience and your release schedule.

Promotion can start well before the release date and continue long afterwards. The aim is to give your music opportunities to reach new listeners, rather than concentrating everything on release day.

Radio and Playlist Promotion & DJ Outreach

Radio stations, specialist music shows, DJs and playlists remain important ways for people to discover new music.

We approach radio presenters, DJs, playlist curators, music editors and other relevant contacts worldwide. Rather than sending every release to the same mailing list, we focus on the people and outlets that are a good match for the music.

Social Media & Digital Music Promotion

A lot of music discovery now happens through TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, Discord and other online communities.

Depending on the artist, release and budget, we work with targeted advertising, content creation and promotion, short-form videos and digital campaigns designed to reach listeners who are likely to be interested in the music.

Music Blogs, Online Magazines & Press Promotion

We approach music blogs, online and print magazines, podcasts, journalists and editors with releases that fit their coverage and musical interests.

Whether it's a review, interview, feature or simply a mention in the right publication, the aim is to get your music in front of audiences who might not otherwise discover it.

Electronic Press Kits & Artist Presentation

Over the years, we've learned that a clear, well-prepared presentation makes a real difference when approaching industry professionals.

We help artists and labels prepare electronic press kits and promotional materials, including biographies, release information, press photos, music links and everything else needed to present a release.
