Why supporting Independent labels? Because if any product gets squeezed into a very few standards, then everybody loses the right of choice. Independent labels reach where most people can't because they are in direct contact with genuine artists at every level. By supporting Independent labels, you keep 100% your right of choice untouched.

3 good reasons to get in touch with us? 1) to support original artists and make a brick in the art wall because labels like ours which produce music and not loops, do live of your support. 2) New artists will be supported by us: our community counts thousands of worldwide members and new songs and novels are still to be produced... sure you don't want to miss that! 3) If you need any kind of soundtracks for your movies and documentaries, ballet or theatre shows, advertisement for radio or TV networks. We can do much more for you, especially if your company is tired of the same old visual and audio standards. ;-)
There are many ways to join us:
Membership
There's a member area only (at work) which will be accessible from January 2008. This area will be a direct interaction with our staff and most of all with our artists. Also there will be regular updates with pics, info, free downloads, video anticipations, all sorts of stuff that will never go on line on anywhere else on our website, myspace, youtube and etc. Just as a bus lane you will get them straight into your screen with no intermediaries. The best thing is that along with all the material you will have the chance to interact and access to the backstage. The cost will be £ 13.00 / EUR 19.00 / $ 19.00 a month.
