EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO STAND OUT

  • LABEL-STYLE DISTRIBUTION

    What is “label-style distributon”?

    It means we offer direct, hands-on support with setting up your release(s) for distribution.

    That includes FREE:
    — Direct Pitching to Editorial Playlists on Spotify, Apple, Tidal, Amazon, & YouTube*
    — Release Plan Review & Optimization
    — Templates for Release Content, Timelines, Marketing Plans, and more
    — Third-Party Playlist Pitching

    We deliver your music to over 80 streaming services worldwide.

    But… what sets us apart?

    Unlike other DKIDS at the TCORE of the current distro market, we have a strict approval process for the artists we work with via Standout Distribution.

    You’ll get personal, one-on-one communication with us to make sure every thing is set up properly.

    If you have an issue, you don’t have to search through pages of FAQs, or chat with an AI bot. We’re just an email away!

    We call his “label-style” because we are more than just a middleman; we are invested in your success.

    *Placement on Editorial playlists is not guaranteed.
