independent music

In the final edition of our DIY Till We Die article series we chat to Blitzcat Records, a DIY label operating in London.

During our ‘DIY Till We Die’ article series we chatted to an array of independent artists, one thing that stood clear was that it allowed them total creative freedom.

Being an independent artist allows for total creative control and freedom but this does come with difficulties.

Paying out for an effective PR campaign can be an expensive ordeal and in some cases offer little return for the artist. However, there are plenty of tools and ways you can run your own campaign cost effectively.

Taking the music world head on as an independent artist may give the creator more freedom but it can be a difficult road.

We caught up with Callum Pope to chat about his experience running a DIY label, how he helps artists and much more!

We chatted to Charlie Wyatt, founder of Leeds based Eeasy Records. Charlie gives us two sides of the story, one from a bands perspective and the other as a label owner.

The producer in question Scaramanga Silk, who won’t profit off the sale to anonymous bidder, is left confused by the surprise sale.
