BREAD & BUTTER
DIGITAL MUSIC SERVICES
We are Ōtautahi based music services specialists, taking care of the basics so you can get back to being creative.
DIGITAL DISTRIBUTION
Streaming
Easily get your music onto Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal and any other digital streaming store across the globe. Your music will be added automatically to every store.
Local & Independent
We are local and fully independent, free from control or influence by global shareholders and major label parent companies. We’re also just a phone call away when something urgent comes up!
Smart Links
Help build momentum with smart links where you can send your fans to pre-save your new music. Add custom links and tracking to maximise your reach and conversions.
YouTube
Content ID
If someone uses your music in a YouTube video, we can help you manage the following copyright claim whether that’s blocking monetising, or releasing the claim.
Discovery Mode
Discovery Mode is a marketing tool on Spotify that helps artists amplify their reach and find their next fans by prioritising songs for discovery. With Bread & Butter, your music is analysed for suitability, and included if the system believes you will benefit Discovery Mode.
Promo Players
Need to share your album to media or friends ahead of release? We’ll create a private promo player so they can hear the album and access additional promo or press assets all from one place.
Editorial Pitching
We will help you pitch for placements on editorial playlists across all the platforms, including those without direct artist pitching tools.
Simple Pricing
We charge a flat percentage of your royalties, and our distribution is all-in. That means no annual payments, no extra costs for additional levels of service.
Easy Accounting
Monthly royalty statements with easy to read, digestible breakdowns on your income for each period.
DIRECT TO CONSUMER
Direct to Consumer platforms (e.g. Bandcamp) can be one of the most financially beneficial ways to sell your music, but managing each of these stores and keeping everything consistent on top of everything else can be overwhelming. We offer an additional service on top of our regular digital distribution where we manage these platforms on your behalf.
Release Uploads
We'll add your music to your D2C stores (including creating artist pages if you don’t have one), and make sure all the metadata is consistent across each of the platforms.
Shipping
We have a dedicated courier network and all the supplies we need to send off your physical merch to your fans quickly and safely.
Official Chart Reporting
We ensure your sales are correctly set up to report to the Official Aotearoa Music Charts.
Growth
New platforms pop up all the time. We’ll stay on the ball and make sure your music is getting the most reach possible when something new comes along.
Product Mockups
We can generate mockup images of your vinyl, CDs, and other merchandise so they look great on the store-front.
Physical Fulfilment
For those who are happy to manage these platforms themselves but struggle with shipping off the physical merchandise - we can simply manage your physical order fulfilment and leave the rest to you. When someone buys your record, the order details come through to us and we send it on your behalf. We have a dedicated shipping/courier network and all the supplies to make sure your merch arrives safely.
