yeah we have placed artists on these sites before.

search:

Andy Stedman
Theroy of 6 Degrees

for examples (these artists have been placed under handsomedevil as upstart records is a subsidiary of handsomedevil)

There is no login to track sales purely because sales only get published quarterly so as soon as we know you know!

It is actually not hard to get distribution. I would recommend searching every company that is out there if you are serious about it. These guys might be legit, I have no idea but they don't have hardly any clients. Everyone has to start somewhere but I am not sure I would want them to start with my label. I would also recommend you try to distribute your content yourself for a little while to get your feet wet unless you have your shit together, nice roster and release schedule etc.

Also no one can promise that they can deliver content to beatport because no matter what it is still up to beatport as to whether your content will be accepted or not.

You could sell £140 worth of tracks that's all yours! We'll send you your sales money when the quarterly sales figures are sent out.

yes but if you only sold 140 quid of tracks (at a 60/40 split from the shop) you'd be better off with a conventional distro...

Theory of 6 Degrees eh, Their from near me. I've played a load of gigs alongside them and engineered quite a few gigs that they've played. What a coincidence that you distribute their records. I'll be looking into this.

Is there an option for artists just to be distributed by you, and not affiliated publicly with your record company?

Our mother label Handsome Devil has been going for a number of years and we spoke to our distributor and opened up a separate account for Upstart Records which was only formed about a month ago. So understandably we don't have many clients at this stage.

Your only affiliated with your name under artists so people know were legit.
