So i have had, what i believe to be, a genius idea!

off the back of a conversation with another user on here i have decided to make use of my juno label management account to help out some of the guys/girls who haven't been released yet.

i'm looking for 5 or 6 people with 1 or 2 tracks each to release on a low price compilation through my label on juno download (link in sig). was believeing doing it all as free releases, juno even recommend this from time to time, but figured the size of the compilation would be taking the piss, lol. Music wise i'm looking for dubstep, breaks or drum and bass. nothing with blatant samples though
tracks have to wav format, junos rules not mine, and will be converted to other formats at juno end - very handy.

in terms of mastering, would prefer if they can come pre mastered, but will do something to even out levels myself if it's really needed. if tracks can be mastered to around 6dB that would be great (standard for pressing to vinyl if i remember correctly, even though vinyl won't be part of this, but i've always found that has a 'fuller' sound with mp3/wav).

The overall idea is based around promoting YOU and your tracks, gets your name out there and gets you on the juno database ready for releases later in life.
example; someone like syour track, clicks the button to keep informed of future releases, you have a release on a big name label and that person will be emailed and know about it regardless of any promo stuff.
As a result there won't be any upfront payouts on this release (info on that kind of thing towards the bottom of this post), but the backend royalties will be a higher percentage than normal

pricing wise i'm believeing 192 mp3; free / 320; 79p / wav; 99p - already checked and i can do this

as an example, you'll see about 22p per wav sale based on that and the following
a breakdown on monetary distribution by juno to labels/artists (lifted from sales reporting page);
99p track > 84p sale value > 38p to label > 7p to artist as mechanical royalty
pay outs every quarter to label if commission is greater than

cheers man

quick update;

at the mo looks like 2 names in the hat, but i have decied that i fancy throwing something on this to, so i'll be putting 2 or 3 tracks in myself.

this means that guys withy tracks on this will see 60% of label comm + mechs from their tracks. don't wanna be greedy

pricing structure will stay the same as original post.

breakdown was lifted from my sales reporting page, i suggest you look at yours in more detail
how any label splits the '38p', is up to them. and yes majority may tend to hand out a bit more than just the mech, but not all do. plus you have to remember that usually there's a payment to buy the rights to release/use the track before it's even released to secure contracts etc... which is based on how well the label believes the track will do. and where bigger artists would make most of the money.
keep in mind here, i'm running on a tight budget personally at the best times, so while i'd love to throw money at people straight off the bat, i can't which is why i'm loading the backend with 40% of the label takings.

blatant sampling... hmmm... obvious samples from 'big' tracks i guess, sometimes movie stuff can less easy to spot...

to a degree it would be based on how the sample sounds. as an example; my dragonball track is heavily blatant... (and still one of my favorites)

ah, should've specified no samples as can't be arsed with the headache of clearance or anal raping for not bothering, lol

tbh not sure how it would affect things if they were just free with no money made... but don't really wanna take the risk with samples - way too many i can get screwed for already, sorry.

if you have any 'original' pieces though...
