There’s a lot of hate against the music industry, especially after all the stupid DRM tactics of some majors, Sony for example with their rootkit malware on PC’s. It really is about time for a business model that concentrates on the music and not the money record labels could earn. Simig Media Records is one such label that tries to help to increase and enhance the role of “self-produced” artists in the music industry, mainly for Mac users but not limited to that.
Simig Media seeks to bring to light “self-produced” artists who make their music in their own home studios, using their own equipment and modern recording software. The power of technologies recently introduced by forward looking companies such as Apple Computer have made it possible for such artists to create compelling works without the expense of million dollar studios and other overhead expenses. Simig Media reduces the other costs associated with record distribution by leveraging a grass roots, organic marketing strategy and by maximizing the bang for the buck on every dollar spent on mastering, replication, and other distribution expenses.
Part of their record label strategy is the music community MacJams they founded as well as other traditional and non-traditional distribution channels. Defenitely worth a look if you’re an independent musician.
