streaming pays cents.
the scene’s thriving.
the money isn’t.

so we built somewhere labels sell the real tools — wavs, stems, edits, acapellas — straight to the djs who play them out. the djs who help sell them earn a cut. the money circulates inside the scene instead of leaking out of it.

// here’s the dealno spin, no asterisks
01
Labels sell the real tools.
WAVs, stems, DJ edits, acapellas — not 128kbps previews. The stuff you actually play out and rework, straight from the people who made it.
02
DJs who share, earn.
Back a tune with your link. If it sells through you, you keep a cut. Support becomes income — money moving sideways inside the scene.
03
Our cut just covers costs.
A small platform cut, falling as we grow. No investors, no margin to protect. The books open up so you can check the maths yourself.
04
The founder goes first.
Their own label is on here, on exactly the same terms as everyone else. Built by someone inside the scene — not here to help you, here as one of you.

// transparency isn’t a slogan here

the books stay open. every month. all of it.

the platform’s cut only covers costs — when they’re covered, the cut comes down. no investors to pay back. no growth targets. the founder’s own label goes on first, on the same terms as everyone else.

— not a profit centre —

we’re not here to disrupt anything. we run a shop, we pay the makers, and we keep the lights on. if that sounds like your scene, you probably already know someone with an invite.
