i record as accelera deck, i have dealt with umpteen labels in releasing my music,
sometimes money has been involved and i have never once had a problem with any label paying
me agreed amounts whatsoever except for Safety In Numbers. i initially thought that they
had not paid me because i (unfortunately) had to cancel my appearance at SiNfest, however
having seen the emails from others who have had similar dealings i thought it important to
chime in.
it basically seems that irregardless if you're a label, artist or distributor that SiN have
failed in every respect and on every front in their distribution and artist payments. the
amount i was agreed to be paid was $100 (following 60 days of the release) for the use of
an exclusive track on a compilation. the amount is unimportant to me. don't get me wrong, i
like to be paid for my work and i like to be paid in the agreed way. it is the principle
involved. i understand that unforeseen circumstances happen which may make a payment late,
but it is really ridiculous to simply be ignored and flat out not paid.
additionally i helped run Pitchcadet records for several years and although pitchcadet did
receive all its money it was very late, and a big hassle in getting replies to emails.
thanks for reading
