The International Dance Music Label
A practical handbook by Turibio Hilaire aka Hewlaq
60 pages. E-book. PDF + XLSX.
A working book for starting and running an independent dance music record company from nothing. Not a pep talk. The order of the job: identity, company, rights, roster, deals, finished records, release dates, money, growth, and the catalog after the first year.
You get two downloads. The handbook in PDF. An advanced Excel workbook in XLSX, built to sit on the desk next to the book. Artists and deal terms. Release metadata from the recording code through pitch date and street date. Cash in and cash out. Recoupment. Growth on each release and on the label. The sheets are linked. Change a yellow cell and the rest follows.
Educational reference. Not legal or tax advice. No promised results.
