setting up a net label

[2sickradio]

hi people


i was wondering if anyone on here has set up a net label, i was thinking about going down this route, what with all the set up costs of setting up a 'live' label, pressing up records, promotion, etc etc. a net label would make more sense, even more so when you think more and more people our downloading music rather than actually going out to buy stuff. any help, tips and advice would be most welcome

peace

Dubstep has a healthy dubplate and vinyl culture though...think you'd miss out a significant portion of the market (and the people who do a lot of the stealth promoting) if you don't press up too. Maybe press if the downloads go well?

yeah that is my thinking, as it would be a real waste to release on vinyle and the single/album flops. keep the advice coming people

after you release on digital, you'll never find a p&d from anyone... noone will risk the money on something that is already out there.

you might wanna ask around on that one. alien pimps "robots & cellos" was released digitally for ages and after a vinyl pressing seems to be selling quite healthily. of course it was his own label and his own chance to take, but i think the reality these days is running counter to what people seem to believe.

of course, this is just my opinion with only one case to study, but it's worth a look, still...

whistlas releasing his newest tunes on his digital label (warehouse meditations i think its called?) with a view to releasing the most popular ones on vinyl on ox rider

and theres plenty of tunes that did the rounds on the dubs section that have got full vinyl releases
