Artist collaboration FAQ
We want artists to know the deal before sending music. Here is how we think about fees, mastering loudness, algorithm support and long-term label cooperation.
If we feel the track fits the label, we talk through the release plan, assets, loudness target, promotion and timeline with you directly. We try to keep the process clear and practical: good audio, proper presentation, and steady communication before the release goes live.
Yes. We usually offer a fixed fee per accepted track. The fee is set individually for each release based on the artist, current statistics, audience size, track potential and the scope of the campaign. If a track performs exceptionally well, we are open to paying an extra bonus.
Streaming income in underground drum and bass is honestly very small. In reality, we still lose money on most releases because promotion, distribution, design and time cost more than the track earns back. The fixed fee is our way to give artists at least some motivating cash upfront, while many labels pay no royalties at all.
We care a lot about volume and punch. For our sound, releases usually need to feel club-ready and aggressive, often around -4 to -3 LUFS when the mix can handle it without falling apart. Loudness is not the only thing that matters, but the track has to hit hard.
On selected releases we add the DnB Doctor artist profile as a collaborator to help boost algorithmic reach and connect the track with the label audience. It can help with discovery, playlist signals, release radar behaviour and overall visibility around the campaign.
We work with artists who keep coming back for more releases, and we care about long-term relationships more than one-off uploads. We are direct about the numbers, what we can realistically do, and where the release stands. If something needs more work, we say it clearly.
