There can be a bit difference..youandewan wrote:yeah thanks...it's all clearer now.
It was through symphonicdistribution.
Do different distribution companies have different deals with beatport or do they take the same percentage from everyone?

Yep, all deals are different.
For us Beatport takes 40% and then Intergroove takes 20% then we receive the remaining 40%. Ideally we would cut Intergroove out, but they said they won’t continue doing a P+D with us if we do, which obviously means more effort and additional costs.
I still dont understand why you only got £170 though from 850 sales. Do you have a proper statement from Symphonic Distribution?

thats pretty interesting.
some labels do tend to deal with beatport directly, which in turn means more royalites for the artist and the label.
i'll update this thread once i receive my statement. hit #1 on minimal for 2 weeks. top 20 overall for a week and top 100 overall for a more than a month. should be interesting to see whats happening.

think that 170 pounds isn't so far off actually, if the label deducted mastering and promotional costs etc. Fine example of how difficult it can be to make money from music these days...
Still, 850 is not bad, especially for a relatively unknown artist. But it's better to have a direct deal with Beatport instead of a distributor. Because that can really make the difference between losing money and making a bit of it.
Good distri deal f.e. is Feiyr.com, they only deduct very little and they also put out their own compilations, making a licensing almost a certainty. And license deal= extra dineros
Anyway, if we would sell 850 pieces per release I'd be very happy indeed

Question
I'm in a distributor (Symphonic Distribution) and when the contract runs out how do I access the beatport / base? beatport labels that are on when they leave their distributors can continue to access beatport / baseware?

Re: Question
My guess is, that they usually take down the labels that leave Beatport and then do final statements/payment.CatDog wrote:I'm in a distributor (Symphonic Distribution) and when the contract runs out how do I access the beatport / base? beatport labels that are on when they leave their distributors can continue to access beatport / baseware?
Then if the label enters again through another distributor/directly, it all has to be uploaded again.
I think that's how it works.
