It is a ticket to fame and seen as the only way to make a living with your music. Most artist would accept a record deal without hesitating.

  • EMI Case Study
    AS media studies THE MUSIC INDUSTRY - Example Case Study EMI is a major British, independent, leading, global music company. It produces and distributes music throughout the world with artists such as Coldplay and The Verve on its books. It is considered one of the big four record companies. It employs around 5,500 people and operates in 50 countries. Financially it is a world player with revenue in 2007 of over £1,751 million and profits of over £62 million. The EMI group comprises over 100 recording labels. It is the second-largest global music publisher (i.e. music scores). There are two main sides to the music business recorded music and music publishing. The recorded music division signs bands, manages bands and makes records – CDs and downloads. The music publishing division (based in New York) collects royalties every time their songs are played on radio, television, video games, films, ring tones and advertisements. The royalties are small but they all mount up to be a profitable business. EMI has the rights to the published songs by Amy Whitehouse, Arctic Monkeys, Duffy, and Jay-Z as well as perennial favourites like Over the Rainbow. This arm of the business is so successful that it is said to be worth 80% of the value of the company. EMI publishing owns or manages 1.3 million copyrights. EMI is a vertically integrated company because it creates music to sell on CD and as downloads on the internet, and it publishes the songs, lyrics and music of many of its own artists and many more artists.

  • An AIM Guide to Starting an Independent Record Label
    An AIM Guide to Starting an Independent Record Label What to expect when setting up your own record label October 2014 Introduction There are many reasons why people wish to set up their own record label: perhaps you have discovered the next big thing; maybe your friends have asked you to release their new EP; or perhaps you just want to put out your own material. Whatever the reason, the process of setting up a record label can be complex. Whilst it can take some time to ensure you have considered everything, there is no reason as to why it cannot be a fun, enjoyable, creative and hopefully profitable experience. Here at AIM, we advise labels of all shapes and sizes on how to set up their businesses from scratch. Over the course of this guide, we will take you through the basic steps you will need to follow to start up your very own record label. Business Plan Creating a business plan is the best place to start before setting up your own label. As well as being a reference point for potential investors, it will help to focus your attention on the important issues you need to address. A business plan is a document that outlines what the main activities of the business will be, how the business will be run, and how you foresee the business generating turnover and profits. The plan should cover at least the first three years of trading and should include details on bank accounts, cash flow, office location, business insurance, employers liability insurance, rates, overheads, tax and national insurance.

  • Timewarp Music Is a Greek Independent Record Label Whose Musical Style Moves Through Nu-Funk, Breaks, Nu- Disco, Funky House and Electronic Freestyle
    Timewarp Music is a Greek independent record label whose musical style moves through Nu-Funk, Breaks, Nu- Disco, Funky House and Electronic Freestyle. It’s the creation of Angelos 'Timewarp' Stoumpos since 2004. Timewarp Music was inspired by the fresh Nu-Funk and Dub Electronic music that, at the time, were blooming in the neighborhood of Vienna, Berlin and Washington. The purpose was presenting this sound in Greece but it grew up quickly becoming today the home of over 40 Producers, DJs and Bands. The artists and producers that complete the Timewarp Music’s Family are spread all around the world. While some of them have been introduced for the Greek Label, others have international careers and some of their tracks have been a “must” for any “breaker” out there. From 2004 to 2011, Timewarp Music released on physical format 6 Artist Albums (CD), 3 Compilations (CD) and 2 Singles , one on CD and one on Vinyl... apart of the physical products, Timewarp Music was one of the first independent label which believed and invested in the Digital format, and because of its impressive digital catalogue with around 100 digital releases , it’s one of the most active European independent label in the digital musical business. Timewarp Music’s releases are always located in the top positions of the best sellers charts of Brokenbeats, Breakbeat, Funk and many times featured in the Playlists of the best DJs of these styles in the biggest digital retail music stores; I-Tunes, Beatport, Juno, DJ Download, E-music . All these hits gave us the title of the biggest Freestyle Ambassador of Greece in American and British radio stations like KRCW and BBC .
