In an ever-shrinking market when it takes more work, passion and creativity to sell records than ever before, even though more people are engaging in independent music now, it is hard to balance work load against budgets and time.

What we offer is assistance on a freelance basis. Whether you are a label, agent, distributor, band or promoter we can help out in your busiest season in whatever way you need, for whatever length of time you need.

About Us:

With more than 8 years experience in independent music working at a record label, management company, marketing and press office we are fully competent in all aspects of releasing records and the day-to-day running of a label; including digital releases, copyright law, marketing and tour promotion, press campaigns and tour management.

Whatever task you throw at us, we can embrace and fulfill. We are enthusiastic and flexible; consider us the Charlie's Angels of independent music.

We are not a label but work with some great labels and are able to do everything that a record label can do.

What we can do for you:

In short, whatever you need us to do. From basic admin to running a press or marketing campaign or perhaps matching you to one of our contacts for a great tour manager, promoter or agent.

We will only work with music that we believe in, that we love and with which we feel we can do a great job.

For specific ways in which we can offer you help, please have a look below. This is only a sample of what we can do for you so please get in touch if you have a specific project in mind.
