From increased exposure to strengthened credibility, our label services department gives label owners a range of advantages not offered by traditional digital distribution companies. As part of a global music and talent agency offering social media, PR, and design services, our clients benefit from a multi-faceted platform that goes far beyond digital music distribution.
Our global distribution and licensing network and direct relationships with digital music retailers enable us to regularly secure prominent coverage for your releases worldwide, as part of our music distribution services package.
Our experience and professional contacts can fast-track the ambitions you have for your label. We can manage and advise you on all aspects of release creation, manufacture and distribution, from mastering to release strategy.
We made a pioneering choice several years ago to switch from quarterly to monthly accounting, enabling us to pay our labels as quickly and efficiently as possible: we’ve since seen major online stores and digital distribution companies such as Beatport do the same.
See when and where your music is selling in real time on your own sales dashboard. Using the latest technology, we can continually assess promotional tactics and monitor how a release is performing across different regions and demographics.
We limit the number of labels we work with so that we can be efficient and responsive. To take advantage of every opportunity for your label, we act swiftly on requests from clients and retailers, ensuring that no request goes unheard.

I want to start a label – what do I need to do?
If you want to start a record label we can support you from set up to worldwide music distribution.
The first step is branding your record label. You need a name that is unique and a logo that works well for marketing and digital distribution. Our branding team can assist you with this.
Next, you need to have the necessary legal agreements in place with the artists you collaborate with, including backing artists, song writers and DJs. Again, we can draw up the necessary contracts and advise you on legal matters around this.
It’s a good idea to have your releases registered with PPL, so that you can collect royalties when your tracks are played in public or on the radio. As registered members of PPL this is something we can do for you very quickly, saving you a lot of administration.
If you want to succeed, you also need to have a label launch strategy in place. This is to ensure that you have enough releases to build some momentum for your label. Without one it can take much longer to develop a name for yourself. Our label services agents have advised dozens of labels on this, and can help you plan your release dates and work with you to develop a solid, attention-grabbing strategy that builds your label brand from the start.
When it comes to releasing your first tracks, we submit them to all the major digital music distribution outlets online, including iTunes, Beatport, Shazam, Traxsource and Spotify. MN2S is an established brand in the music industry, known for working with respected labels, DJs and artists. This works in your favour when we deliver your releases, ensuring that your music is taken seriously.
Contact us to discuss launching a new record label.
I would like to get some big-name artists on my label – can you help?
With our substantial network of artists and producers we can help you. Contact us.
If I use your digital music distribution services, when should I submit releases?
We need you to submit your release to us at least three weeks ahead of the official release date. This gives us enough time to meet the deadlines set by the leading music streaming services and digital music distribution outlets. Without this three weeks’ lead time it will be far harder for us to secure any significant coverage for your release.
When you send us the release, you should also send us a detailed summary of your promo campaign. This includes any biographies, articles, press releases, blogs and reviews, a list of radio plays, a list of your social media profiles and the number of followers you have for each, and any positive reactions from DJs or music journalists on social media. We will then package this information into the best format for each digital retailer.
If it’s at all possible, submit your release and promo materials to us sooner than three weeks before the release date. The more time we have to work with the information, the better.
We have a division that specializes in PR for label services. If you do need support in this area, let us know. We can manage the promotional campaign for the release on your behalf if required.
