...unfortunately i cant help out financially.
but ill be the best damn promotions manager ever!
Co..Cou...Could you possibly rewind and come again?
what kinda funds are we talking?
Financiers ye forgot are:
myself + other Nu Killa Kru members Deep Cut & Bee! (We're prepared to put alot in...)
I think the main financers are gonna be Streetbeats / Nu Killa Kru / 0=0? ...
I think you need to have the main funding coming from 2 or 3 sources at most.
Otherwise, things get messy. Contributions are very welcome though!!!
Agree, disagree?
Code and i shall be costing up very soon.
Basically as many people as poss is gonna be a big help.
We gotta master, press, mailout, advertise etc etc.
Absolutely code...as they say too many cooks spoil the broth!
Co..Cou...Could you possibly rewind and come again?
too many financers dont spoil anything!!!
The other thing I wanna sort asap is signing the tracks that I know I want (if Blue agrees)...
What is the usual way of things when you want to sign a track by an artist... do you give an advance of a few hundred £££ ? I like the way 0=0 does it... think he pays them in full before the track even comes out! Okay... we might not be able to stretch to that but I'd certainly like to pay a good chunk to the artist as an advance.
Blue, you're more used to the mechanics of a label, how do you see it?
look at it as a record pool that puts out a mass of great tracks as opposed to a few per pile
I think most subvert artists would be willing to put tracks out on this label without an advance. Or at least they should be. Everyone else is working for free.
Stacks
Code mate.
(1) pick the tracks you want to release.
(2) explain to the artist you will do everything possible to pay them after you have released the wax, especially with regard to this project. No one should be looking for money at this stage but they should be eager to get wax cut.
(3) sort out your dist. Good luck on that one
(4) Pay all your maufacturing bills.
(5) Hopefully your dist. will take your wax and in six months time hopefully he'll pay you for it.
(6) maybe you'll have some money to pay your artists. Then star the whole process again but ALWAYS look for cheaper services.
I may have left some things out but thats the jist of it.
BIG UP ALL BELGIAN MASSIVE.
jumpup
goin all out, I'm goin all out, I've got to maitain...
Rico @ srd said if we get him the tracks, artwork etc etc he will play them to the main man @srd and then we should have distribution....
Code we need to talk soon.
