r/recordlabels

I want to ask you guys how I can distribute my music with Orchard/FUGA. I'm tired of everyone saying "You need to be a label" and "You need a lot of followers"

I need an actual way to get into The Orchard/FUGA like other small labels like Voyage Entertainment Records. I do not want to hear questions like "How do you think this will help you? Don't you know about the things currently going on?" My guy, I asked for help. Not questions. Is there ANYONE kind enough to invite me into The Orchard/FUGA? Is there any FREE sub-distributors that use Orchard? I would appreciate if you invite me into AWAL/The Orchard/FUGA/Symphonic (For FREE ofcourse, if you do have it)

PLEASE Help me with this.

Hi there, perhaps anyone knows further advice?

I have placed an order on the turtle pals website (mostly game soundtracks distribution) in November 2024 (!)

Was originally set to ship around March, following year. So after any withdrawal period would be expired.

I have thereafter contacted them several times during the year and got more or less standardized responses that due to production delays all items will be postponed to as soon as possible. You know the typ. However, after June/July, they halted giving any response.

Also their website has been out of reach for a while now. The store mail has also seized to work, their service mail is fortunately working. On Instagram there has been no activity, but neither a note of abscence.

What bothers me most is that I have successfully ordered there in the past; otherwise, I would not have taken the risk. Also changing orders has been no issue in the past.

How probable is it to receive my order or at least a refund? What would you say.

Thanks for providing any information.

Hello everyone! Recently, I've seen many posts from people wanting to obtain an Orchard account. Unfortunately, some individuals have fallen victim to scams, and there are others asking for money in exchange for an account. Please do not give them any money. Here’s a simple and free way to get an Orchard account:

You should be quite well-known; your social presence should be strong.

Email the appropriate country office, introducing yourself, sharing your earnings, and outlining your future projects.

Connect with people on LinkedIn (this is the most effective method). There’s a high chance you will get the account if you find individuals working at Orchard in positions like Client Relationship Manager. Reach out to them via message or email tell about yourself and your future projects. They can assist you and contact their team, and you will most likely secure a direct contract with them.

I hope this helps many people!

Have no clue what I'm doing. the label currently promoting music of my husband (hardcore and traditional balkan klezmer clarinet player) and myself (indie singer songwriter). the purpose is the join all our household music work related stuff under one roof. I'm currently just trying to post reels on a regular base so the artist pages will get exposure. Any tip (about anything!) will be happily received here:)

strongly advise against working with UMW Recordings. After 5–6 months, no payments were made despite earnings being due. Multiple attempts to contact them received no response, and toward the end my account was disabled without any explanation. Based on my experience, this company is unreliable and unprofessional. I even put my whole catalogue on takendown like 2 months ago and it's still live and they still get money for my music.
