Change your view about what dance record labels mean to the artist
Article by John
Change your view about what dance record labels mean to the artist; not all independent record labels are in it for their own benefit, there are a few (and they number a VERY few) which are in it for the mutual success of the artist and the label, after all a label is only as good as the artists it signs, promotes and publishes. The trouble with the music business is that far too many labels consider the music business is their own personal domain, and forget the fact that the artist is what matters.Some labels grab new talent and fail to nurture it as it should be nurtured, some fail to discover new sounds as often as they should and some fail to promote the label’s music in as an effective manner as it should be promoted. What artists should expect from their record label is the combination of a unique view on how house should do business on behalf of their artists, combined with nurturing the cream of up and coming house music talent.This really is the only formula which will breed success for both the artist and the label; long term security while at the same time searching out new talent and taking risks with emerging sounds and artists. The future of the music business is in the hands of the new, raw talent coming through, filled with new ideas and possibilities; the future success of the artists is in the hands of dance record labels such as State.

Why You Should Never Sell Full Rights to Your Songs
Other than street performers who get to keep all the money they collect in their hat, very few songwriters and composures get to retain the rights to their work. Labels emerged as a way to promote and distribute and artist’s music on a regional then national and international scope. In return, they required music creators to give up a certain percentage of their intellectual property. Years ago performers had very few options because the way the industry was structured it was extremely difficult to become successful without a label because they controlled distribution.
As a result of their monopoly, over the years there have been many cases of labels demanding most or all of the song rights in order for an artist or band to get a record deal. And the performers were desperate enough for success that they agreed. Then later, once they became successful, the performers would sue to get out of their contracts but still would not recoup any money. So there is a very good reason why you should never sell full rights to your songs: the label and publisher will get rich while you continue to scrape by.
In no other field is an artist expected to give up rights as they are in the music business. Even in book publishing, where authors may initially give up 85% of their initial sales royalties to a publisher, after 10 years ALL the rights revert back to the author. That is not the case in the music industry. So the best way to have rights to your songs ten years down the road is to not sign them away to begin with.
While the traditional music labels continue to ask for a lion’s share of the rights when signing new acts, smaller independents are offering performers more favorable deals. For example, a new label named Polyphonic lets its artists keep their copyright and will share profits .... Continue Here!....
