I hate to do this, but, there is a wave of labels taking tracks from artists, sending contracts and not respecting it.
Shivlink records joined to the BLACK LIST!!!
DO NOT DEAL WITH NICK AND SHIVLINK RECORDS!!!
He does not respect contracts, artists that have never recieved any payments or even COPIES OF THE CD'S artists such as ZION, KAMASUTRANCE, ENERTOPIA and more never recieved any copies as promised, not even talking about payments, always saying, YOU WILL RECIEVE IT SOON, BUSINESS IS BAD....THESE ARE HARD TIMES......bullshit.
DO NOT DEAL WITH THIS LABEL OR ANY PIRATES WHO ARE TRYING TO OFFER LYING CONTRACTS IN ORDER TO RECIEVE FROM THE ARTISTS MASTERED TRACKS SO HE CAN KEEP THE LABEL ALIVE AND MAKE SOME MONEY TO THEIR OWN POCKETS ON LYING CONTRACTS.
You have been WARNED!

I can imagine his reply....YOU WILL GET THE MONEY SOON...blah blah blah......THE CD WAS SENT TWO WEEKS AGO, DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED, CHECK YOUR LOCAL POST OFFICE....shut up lying maggot.
Usually those labels pay to only a few and the rest they don't, or the do after months or even a year late, by then, you are all frustrated.....you got it right NOT EVEN CD'S OF YOUR OWN RELEASES. www.myspace.com/enertopiapsy |

It is a shame, specially because you love those labels and its releases, I mean, lately, shivlink have released a track of mine with two more artists collaborating, I love the releases, but it offer bad contracts and lies.
Too much crying about...these are bad days...compilation sold less than 400 copies.....not my problem.

huh , sorry to hear that
hope it sort out good and soon
payment after realese is not valid option at all anymore , contracts and money first before giving any .wav (and never agree to give (c) for life... 1 or 2 years should be enough)

hmmm its bad to see that others have problems with payments with shivlink.
the last month we are waiting for the payment and nick (shivlink) is craping us with the usual next week to next week and shit like we are changing offices and not in town at the moment.
i dont like threads like that but sometimes u can get rally upset with the unprofesionality o some "labels"
the worst is that he wants to sign u an exclusive contract and u will be tight with him and cant move without giving him money in every step u take.
us i have allready been scammed once i didnt sign that shit and now we are just waiting for our payment.
its a shame we have to go public about that stuff.

Theres no justification for a label not sending you a copy of the CD.
Must mention something about the label business though... these guys are not making as much money as you would think. CD sales are in the dumps. It is impossible at this point to pay each artist on the VA 200 euro, pay for artwork and manufacturing and still have the compilation break even. Statistics show its pretty much impossible. We're in a messed up time for Psy & CD sales. One cause is too many labels bidding for pieces of a very small pie. Ethics have gone out the window!
As artists you guys should look at other ways of getting your music out there or you are going to be disappointed over and over again. |

most of them are doing it to pay their own bills first...they probably don't have enough to pay the artists beforehand and definitely don't have enough to pay them after the release. ideally those compilations should not go beyond conception but artists want their music released as much as labels want to release them. don't give them the tracks without payment otherwise!
the point is that if your music is non-commercial then you need to bypass the labels. its a lost cause trying to work that system and then complaining when they don't come through.
this thread is not the first of its kind! how many does it take?
Go the digital-download way... its straightforward and most contracts will give you a fixed percentage from the tracks sold. No bullshit there because the quality & popularity of your music determines the amount you make. All thats missing is the promotion you might get from handing a physical CD to someone... you can always print your own copies for that. |

Yidam--> If somebody doesn't have the money in the first place and doesn't have the knowledge on how to run the business that maybe he shouldn't try to open a label/organize a party in the first place!!!
Why so many people in this scene have an impression that they can go away with something like that? Can't they see that the market is over-saturated as it is and that nobody buys CDs anymore? Can it be more obvious?
Go sell milk door to door.
