For artists

Your music. Our full label support.

We believe a label should do more than upload your track to stores. Our role is to support the release, present it professionally, communicate clearly and work alongside the artist from signing through to release and beyond. More about the label on our about page.

Transparency, fairness and a real working relationship are at the heart of what we do. We all need a little help in this business, and we are here to provide it.

A fair partnership

A clear 50/50 master royalty split

Revenue received by Industrial Echo Records from the released master recording is split 50% to the artist and 50% to the label, subject to the terms of the signed agreement. The label share supports the artwork, administration, distribution, promotion, artist tools and ongoing work involved in managing the release.

You keep 100% of your publishing rights.

Industrial Echo artists stay self-published. We do not own, administer or collect your songwriting or music publishing: registration, writer shares, collection societies and publishing income all remain yours to handle, and publishing money is never paid through us.

The 50/50 split applies to income received from the master recording. It does not transfer your publishing rights. This page is a plain-language summary of how we work, not legal advice — the signed agreement is always the definitive document, and we encourage artists to read it carefully and take their own advice if they wish.

What we provide

Included with every accepted release

  • Premium release artwork

    Every accepted release receives professional artwork designed around the track concept, genre and artist identity. Artists are not charged for the design.

  • Social media promo pack

    We prepare professional promotional artwork for the release campaign, including suitable formats for social posts, stories and key release stages such as Coming Soon, Pre-order and Out Now.

  • DJ and radio promotion

    We include eligible releases in our promotional campaigns to a network of more than 40,000 DJs, producers, selectors, radio contacts and electronic-music subscribers.

    Promotion creates genuine opportunities for the music to be heard, but no label can guarantee DJ support, radio play, reviews, chart positions, streams or playlist placement.

  • Your private Artist Hub

    Signed artists receive access to a private Artist Hub that keeps release information, contracts, files, requests and approved promotional materials organised in one place.

    • Review and sign agreements
    • Complete artist and release information
    • Upload requested files
    • View release progress and outstanding tasks
    • Download approved artwork and promotional packs
    • Access signed contracts
    • Keep all future Industrial Echo releases under one artist account
    • Submit updates and communicate with the label
    • View royalty statements and payment information when available
    Artist Hub Login
  • Remix and collaboration opportunities

    Artists may be considered for official remixes, remix exchanges, collaborations, compilations and other label projects where there is a suitable creative fit. These are opportunities rather than guaranteed entitlements.

  • Clear communication and release support

    Artists should know what is happening with their music. We aim to communicate clearly, request information in an organised way and give artists a professional place to follow the release process.

No cost to the artist

No upfront cost to release with us

Industrial Echo Records does not charge signed artists a submission fee, signing fee, artwork fee, compulsory promotional fee or Artist Hub fee. We believe these services are part of the label’s responsibility to the artists it chooses to work with.

  • No submission fee
  • No signing fee
  • No artwork charge
  • No compulsory promotional charge
  • No Artist Hub charge
  • No upfront release fee

Any unusual third-party cost, licensed sample, specialist service or project outside the standard release agreement would need to be discussed and agreed clearly in advance. Nothing should be added as a surprise charge.

What we ask

What we ask from artists

  • Submit original music that you own or are authorised to release
  • Declare all collaborators, writers, samples and third-party material
  • Provide accurate legal, payment and release information
  • Respond to reasonable release requests and agreed deadlines
  • Support and share the release where possible
  • Communicate openly if a problem or delay arises

A good release is a shared effort. We provide the label support, and we ask artists to work with us openly so the music has the strongest possible chance.

Our belief

Support should not be a paid extra

We believe premium artwork, fair agreements, organised artist tools, promotional support and clear communication should be part of a serious label partnership — not paid extras used to profit from artists.

Independent music works best when labels and artists help each other. We want artists to feel informed, respected and supported throughout the relationship.
