OMG is this a new post? You must be thinking…
Well, it’s true that I haven’t been able to post for a while. To be truthful, I’ve been busy with video games, downloading, traveling a bit and very important stuff like that.
It’s funny how my mind works sometimes, but I have this draft saved since november in which I tried to explain our (Replica’s) experience with IODA, but this was meant to come out as soon as the new record hit the stores, but unfortunately this hasn’t happened yet, but still, I was waiting for it to happen until I posted anything else. Because you know… it was like the big event.
IODA is a very interesting concept we’ve been working with. I call it the “modern music distributor”. They call themselves “the industry-leading digital distribution company for the global independent music community“.
Since october we contacted Humberto Carmona (awesome dude), and he liked very much our material, so we gave a list of online stores we wanted to be in, which included iTunes, Amazon, Beatport and Bleep, among others. I consider myself a BIG fan of Bleep, and when Humberto told us that Bleep actually selects the material they sell I thought it was going to be a long shot, but they actually approved it and it was supposed to come out around december, but we were warned about usual delay issues so I decided today to break the silence a bit about it and to tell ya’ll the great experience we had with IODA.
So far our fist ep is already on sale on Amazon, iTunes and others (as I pointed earlier) and we couldn’t be happier.
Not because of a possible revenue share, but for the exposure. And I’m very confident that when we hit Bleep it would definitely mean a lot. It’s the right music at the right place. A place where Djs research for music do that they can play it on clubs or radio stations. And this goes as well for Beatport. So, pointing the obvious, we’re very happy with IODA, hopefully we’ll be able to work some more with them. If you have a band you should try it, I totally recommend it.
Finally, I know how stupid is to make New Years resolutions. I do believe that every single day is a great moment to change your life, but a New Year has a taste of conquer, and I always want to conquer the next year, so it’s a great excuse to put down some rules around and I’ll do my best to post as often as possible.
Pointing the obvious… happy new year.
WHAT TO DO NOW?
