for members
full tracks for members, previews for everyone else.
- members-only playback
your music, streaming on your own site.
we build streaming into record labels' and music companies' own sites and apps: a catalog that plays in full for members, a fan club behind a login, or a live stream of a show, with every listener on a list that is yours. licensing the music to stream is the rights holder's part.
built to a written scope, with the price and the date fixed first.

how it runs.
diagnostic
most projects start with a paid diagnostic: one week, $10,000, and the full fee comes off the build if you go ahead within 90 days. it gives you the written scope, and you keep that document either way.scope
the scope puts what gets built, the price and the ship date in writing before anything is built. the price comes from what the catalog and the roster actually need, not from a tier picked off a page.build
the build follows the scope. the parts most agencies skip are scoped in on purpose: the licence terms written per sale, what happens to a property when an artist leaves the roster, and who sees which royalty numbers.launch and transfer
at launch the code, the domains, the merchant account, the customer list and the analytics move into your name. there's no licence to renew and no monthly fee on the platform itself.after launch
your team edits copy, prices, art and releases from a dashboard at no monthly cost. or you can keep us on a retainer for ongoing engineering, billed monthly and cancellable any month.
