Can anyone tell me why there are no big artists on Bandcamp? I wanted to use it as my main app for listening to music but many artists I like are not on there… I heard that their labels prevent them from putting their music on Bandcamp. But that doesn’t make sense to me. Selling music on Bandcamp is financially better for artists and labels than streaming services like Spotify, right?

Toothgrinder Press were in on Friday doing a production run on a limited edition of records.

These acrylic records are cut on a record lathe in Wales and then have the label artwork engraved with our laser-cutters.

Please
#musicians be careful, look twice before signing a contract with a #musicLabel, even when it is an "Indie" label.

The Chilean musician Brous One (who will be kinda featured in my radio show tonight - see first pinned comment on my profile) describes in the accompanying text on Bandcamp, how terrible he was ripped of by his label Vinyl Digital (btw. I just realize, that's a German "Indie" label - or should I say "German musicians rip off enterprise?").

"[…] contract […] letting them exploit all my past and future releases (around 200 tracks at that time), allowing them to collect royalty rights to my music for up to 70 years even after my death and blocking my freedom to work with other publishers. […]

contract was for life, so it didn’t have a termination date […]

never got billed, several tracks were not or falsely registered. […]

GEMA […]

publisher asked for a payment of 1000 Euros to provide a document that certified the termination of our contract […]

After a long back-and-forth and two legal instances, […] the Court confirmed that my termination of the contract was appropriate and legal […]

I was a full-time artist at the time and our little family savings went on the whole legal process […]

The whole situation affected me not only financially but also mentally, bringing back traumatic episodes that I’m still managing and taking care of with therapy. "

This is a
#NIGHTMARE. And I am so angry when people are ripped of like that. Fuck you to any label doing that.

You can read all that here (I don't know him, I just have read this):

and if possible, support him by buying that album (it's really well done jazzy instrumental hiphop which sounds like its entirely based on samples. But look at the credits, most things are played by real musicians just for this album!).

Clarifying labels: Jazz, rock, funk and jazz‐rock

Rock and jazz historically share some similar origins (gospel music, work songs and the blues), but they represent divergent lines. Jazz employs aspects of formal European concert music and steers away from vocals, being a primarily instrumental form of music. Blues styles and rock emphasize vocals and stick largely to elementary compositional forms such as the four chord, twelve-bar blues, while jazz is characterized by intricacy comparable to that of twentieth century symphonic music.
While the blues line and rock line became part of the popular music mainstream, jazz acquired a status resembling that of classical chamber music in that it was followed only by a small and specialized audience.
