We. Are. Cease & Desist

We are a movement. We are change. We are disruptive

We believe in better promotion, better opportunities and better royalty shares for smaller, emerging and indie DJs, artists and producers. We believe in emails not going unread. We believe in personal replies. We believe in honesty. We believe in you!

Formed in July 2024 after two years of research and development, we take a fresh-approach to small, independent record labels. We don’t believe in social trends, follower counts or streaming numbers. We have a face. We are contactable. We work hard for our artists and DJs to gain traction, increase their fanbase and get their music heard by the people who enjoy it.

We are a collective of people, skills, technology and methods designed to bring it back to being real. About the music. About the love. And we do this by challenging convention and doing things differently.

How do we operate differently?

Here’s just some examples of how we operate differently:

  1. Unlike other artist owned/controlled labels, we aren’t ALL about that artist or collection of artists. We are a collective, focussed on EVERY artist who joins our movement!
  2. We believe in fair promotion and opportunities for our artists, which is why we operate on a GROSS profit share agreement. Meaning we absorb the costs of distribution not you!
  3. We provide marketing collateral and materials AS STANDARD. Not for an additional fee or optional package.
  4. We work with you to get the best quality mix and master for your track(s). And will assist with mixing and mastering and much more.
  5. We can provide additional services to help elevate your promotional activities from campaigns, email marketing to websites.
  6. We can help with merchandising and one-off promotional projects.
  7. We stand by your side throughout the lifespan of your release(s) with us.
  8. You won’t have to chase us for accounts and statements.
  9. We have our own global EDM Internet radio station to help get your music played Internationally.

So if you like what you hear and like the sound of a fresh, honest and open relationship with your next record label, why not send us a track you’d like to release and start the conversation!
