For independent artists, producers, and vocalists, getting your music heard is about more than just uploading it online — it’s about strategy, reach, and representation. That’s where AudioWave Records Distribution comes in.


As a label owned and operated by artists, AudioWave Records understands how vital transparent, powerful distribution is. Every track signed to AudioWave is distributed globally across all major streaming and download platforms — with full promotional support, analytics, and playlist pitching included at no extra cost.


Here’s how it works, and why partnering with AudioWave could be the smartest move you make for your music career.

What Is Music Distribution (and Why It Matters)?


Music distribution is the bridge between your finished track and your audience. Without it, your music can’t reach listeners on platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Beatport, TIDAL, YouTube Music, and Deezer.


But not all distribution is equal. Many DIY distributors charge fees per track, take large cuts, or provide little visibility on performance data.


AudioWave’s approach is different: artists don’t just get distributed — they get represented.

Every release is handled with the same care and professionalism as a major-label rollout, ensuring that your music lands on every relevant platform, properly tagged, timed, and optimised for global visibility.


How AudioWave Records Distribution Works


Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of the process when your track is signed to AudioWave Records:


1. Signing & Onboarding

Once your demo has been accepted and your release confirmed, AudioWave’s in-house team works with you to finalise artwork, metadata, ISRC codes, and release details.Your track is then uploaded to AudioWave’s secure distribution hub — the gateway to all major DSPs (Digital Service Providers).


2. Global Release Setup

AudioWave ensures your music is formatted, encoded, and distributed correctly to all major stores and platforms worldwide, including:


  • Streaming Platforms – Spotify, Apple Music, TIDAL, Amazon, Deezer, Pandora

  • DJ & Dance Outlets – Beatport, Traxsource, Juno Download

  • Video & Social Platforms – YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Meta, Snapchat, and more


Every release is synchronised globally, ensuring that listeners everywhere can discover your music at the same time, in the highest audio quality available.


3. Metadata & Optimisation


Metadata (the digital DNA of your release) determines how your track is discovered and categorised. AudioWave’s team handles:


  • Correct genre classification

  • Artist and collaborator tagging

  • Accurate BPM and key data

  • SEO-friendly descriptions

  • Smart link generation for pre-save campaigns


This ensures your music is fully searchable, correctly represented, and ready for both organic and algorithmic discovery.


4. Playlisting & Editorial Submissions


Every AudioWave release automatically qualifies for the label’s complimentary playlisting service, which means your track is actively pitched to both internal and external curators, as well as editorial teams at major DSPs.


This built-in process helps maximise visibility and streaming potential, often during the first crucial weeks after release.


5. Reporting, Analytics & Transparency


Unlike many distributors, AudioWave provides transparent access to your data and performance reports.Artists can view:


  • Stream counts and geographic data

  • Playlist placements and listener engagement

  • Royalty tracking and payment schedules


The goal: no hidden numbers, no confusing statements — just clear insight into how your music is performing.


6. Revenue & Royalties


AudioWave handles royalty collection and reporting on your behalf, ensuring you receive fair compensation for every stream, download, and sync opportunity.


The label manages:


  • Streaming royalties from all DSPs

  • Download sales

  • YouTube monetisation

  • Social platform usage (Instagram, TikTok, Meta)

  • Sync licensing opportunities for film, TV, and adverts


Payments are issued on a regular schedule, with transparent statements so you can track exactly what you’ve earned and where it came from.
