Got a sample preview of your favorite release?

(Presumably you’re not on Spotify since they’re not paying anything.)

People say this all the time about Spotify, but it's actually a viable outlet for revenue if you're on a decent label who understands how to leverage playlists.

Obv that doesn't apply for freeform... but for styles like trance, techno, DnB etc it's not unheard of for a track to get 500k streams across a variety of playlists, which equates to $1500.

I don't think it would be wise to dox myself here after I've made an unpopular comment!
