Music distribution:
We deliver music content to more than 130 well-known and established international platforms for legal music downloads and ringtone outlets: iTunes, AOL, MusicNet, Rhapsody, eMusic, Amazon, Napster and Beatport, to name just a few.
We also provide CD distribution services in retail outlets throughout Austria and Germany. Please be aware that nowadays it is virtually impossible to sell CDs in retail outlets unless you are already a well-known artist in your area. We therefore recommend that newcomers start by delivering music to digital download platforms. This enables them to obtain useful international feedback on their music and effectively test it on the international music market.
If the music sells well digitally and the band is touring extensively, it may then be appropriate to launch a radio campaign and make CDs available in retail outlets.
Today, almost 40% of turnover in the music business is generated by digital downloads, and this figure is increasing significantly every year. We are in no doubt that digital delivery is the future of the music business.

Artist Promotion:
We can prepare a professional press kit for your band, including in electronic form, and we'll make sure that your music is reviewed by hundreds of music editors worldwide. We deliver music to the best regional FM stations and hundreds of licensed international Internet radio stations.
Publicity and airplay is what your music needs in order to sell, and we can arrange this for you. It's vital to know where to send your music depending on your musical style. Many bands do their own promotion and they often make mistakes - for example, there's no point in sending your music to a rock editor or a metal music magazine for review if your style is soul or electronic.
Market research is crucial for all music promotion, and that's our job.
