Commercial Release

I'm going to be releasing the EP as a free download as I'm not looking to make any money from the material being released. I'm releasing the EP free because as a producer I need to establish myself in the industry and gain some recognition and exposure which is why the only way to gain these aspects is to release the project as a free download. I was originally thinking of releasing the EP through a company called 'Ditto Music'. Ditto Music is a great way of releasing your music if your an independent artist. Ditto Music enables you to put your music on such sites like iTunes, Napster, Rhapsody, Emusic, Tesco, HMV, and 7digital. You also keep a 100% of your image rights and royalties. I personally think this is an incredible service for any aspiring artist looking to release their music on the net. If I wasn't releasing my EP as a free download and was looking to make money from royalties and sales this would be the service I would consider choosing.

I have decided I'm going to release my EP through bandcamp. Bandcamp is a simple way to share your music online and promote yourself as an independent artists. One of the great features about bandcamp is that you can set your profile so when someone downloads a song from you on your page, you can attain their email address which enables you to send them exclusive tracks in the future or keep them upto date with any up and coming shows. This is a really good way of maintaining a solid fan base.
