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.
