New updates have happened to the (newly retitled)
Independant Dance Label Business Resource.
I am getting closer to being fully global. Many more European pressing
plants have been added, and I am starting to understand European
copyright a bit. If you have any information , please do send it to me.
Help the music to spread, help the independant label system to prosper.
The music is getting more and more widespread. The larger and major
labels are starting to get involved and they can do a lot more for two
