Case Study: First Release: Raindance

Back in October my track "Raindance" was released through Red Robot Records.  At the time I was busy setting up a company and so was unable to dedicate time to self releasing. 

Red Robot had a good reputation and a solid backlog of  tracks on Beatport - and as it was unlikely that I'd be able to churn out the volume of tracks and sales that Beatport wanted in order to stay eligible from month to month, it made sense to go with a sturdy record label with a proven history.

The deal with the label was profit share - we each take a certain percentage each in return for them releasing and promoting the track to their mailing list.

Initial reviews have been good, although without a large budget to push the track marketing has been kept to a minimum.
