none either, i would advice to look for promotion and exposure and not money, if you get both lucky...even some well known artist release some tunes for free .
i remeber a friend that got 400$$$ for a tune and he sounded like it was exceptional these days and he ahve many realse/well known so wouldn t expect much as unknown.. not much money to make from sells either.. it s peanuts compared to bookings.
a friend told me back in the days some artists could get deals like 10 000 dollars by the labels to work on a album.. before even thinking about sells.. dunno if it s true but sure time have changed.

As Disco Hooligans, I got 130USD (there were two at the project back then so x2 its 260USD) with a 50-50 cut with Neurobiotic Records. And that includes all 3 EPs.
A Martian Arts remix on the first EP went to No9 on Beatport.
otherwise you'll get no money (even if serious. cause first release is peanuts), no promotion, nothing.
my first experience with trance lab records was like that: one sales report for the first 2 weeks and after nothing.
I've been on all plateforms (juno, psyshop, beatport)
saw my ep in charts (but like only one day..) and even can find my tracks on deezer, etc...
it's cool you see your tracks, you made one release, you can tell friends and parents that you are in music business

even is serious label with contracts,i suppose it often like this ,they take the tune for free but you have no more right on it and wont touch any money but you use the label exposure..in the end you have no idea how much your track have sold ,how much money they made with it..it sux
Sales are nothing this days, if you want to get something out from sales, set up a bandcamp or a website with paypal and sell the EP yourself. You can also ask for a permission from the label you both sell the EP and you both take everything for yourself...

wonder if something like paying 20 dollars and you get all the release for free of the label for one year..maybe it would generate more sell and more money as people would like more to pay this than to look for new release on warez site all these hassle ... when you re lazy to do something you pay for it when it s cheap . price have to be very low now but in the end it may generate more money .. imo the price they ask for a va or a album on beatport + wav tax.. no one buy it cause it dont worth it for just a few listen as i find music have very short life now so it dont worht the price they are asking to me.. or maybe it s cause i don t like it as much as before dunno but i m sure many feel like me. cheap they would buy just to support the artists.. but at that price they downalod it illegaly as they ask a lot for a album we gonna get tired after 20 listen
