For labels

Your roster.Your label.

Everything a manager gets, plus a home for your label on subTotem: a label page, roster stats, a release calendar and a demo inbox. Your artists keep their rights and their money — you work with them, not over them.

What labels get

Label-style. Artist-owned.

Everything on the manager account, plus the tools for running a roster. All Coming soon.

Your label, in public

  • A label page at subtotem.com/label/yourlabel — your logo, story, roster and releases
  • "Released on" your label on your artists' pages, linking back to you — with each artist's permission
  • A press kit for the whole roster, at a private subtotem.promo link
  • Showcase gigs: put several of your artists on one bill, with the promoter tools built in
  • One shop for your roster's merch, at the same flat 5%

Running the roster

  • Roster stats: plays, listeners, where fans are and top tracks, every artist side by side
  • A release calendar across the roster, so releases don't clash
  • A demo inbox — artists on subTotem send you demos, and you listen, reply or pass
  • Team logins for your staff, each with their own access

Playlists belong on your label page, never in genre browsing. On subTotem, nobody can pay to be discovered — a label included.

Every penny to the artist.

Streams, merch and tickets are all paid to the artist. Your share is agreed between you and them, as it is now — subTotem never takes it out for you.

Pricing

Priced by the artists you look after.

One account, whichever step you're on, with team logins for the people who work with you. Accounts are on the way — everything here is Coming soon.

The founding rate: go yearly before listening opens and you pay half the yearly price, for as long as you keep your subscription without a break.

The price shown is the total you pay. Each team login signs in as themselves, with the access you give them — never more than each artist has shared.

Good to know

The small print, in plain English.

Can we take a share of streams through subTotem?

No. subTotem pays every artist directly — 1p a stream, and their merch and tickets less the flat 5%. What you agree with your artists stays between you.

Do our artists keep their rights?

Yes. Uploading to subTotem never changes who owns a recording or a song, and joining a label on here doesn't either.

Do our artists need to be on subTotem?

Yes — each needs an artist account of their own. Core is free for good, so it costs them nothing.

Who can send us demos?

Artists on subTotem. Their demos arrive in your inbox with their page attached, so you can hear the rest of what they do.

Can we promote our releases in genre playlists?

No. Genre browsing is the same for everyone, and nobody can pay to be in it. Your own playlists live on your label page.

What's the founding rate?

Go yearly before listening opens and you pay half the yearly price — £150, £250 or £500 a year — for as long as you keep your subscription without a break.

Label or manager?

The same price. Choose label if you want a public page and the roster tools; a manager account is everything else.

When does it open?

Soon. Join the label waiting list and we'll email you the day label accounts open.
