I licensed two of our tracks by the 99th Floor Elevators, ‘Hooked’ and ‘I’ll Be There’ to a UK dance label Toolbox Recordings though I held onto the US. territory to exploit the tracks over here in the US. The tracks are available on most of the major UK dance music download platforms including TrackitDown, Ministry Of Sound, 3 Beat, DJ Download, Mixmag, XPress Beats and Vicious Circle MP3 (and a few more) though not on popular US. platform Beatport (yet).

Turns out there’s some kind of market battle going on between the UK distributors and the US market leader. Anyhow, meantime we’re trying out the Snocap store which is a simple sign up process for artists and labels alike and enables you to cut and paste a music store on just about any website.

It looks kind of OK and the files are in the consumer friendly MP3 format. There’s viral marketing built in and you’re able to email the store to friends or paste it into your own website (if you really like the music I guess!). Anyway, right now we’re trying it out on our MySpace page and on the 99th Floor Elevators blog to see how it works.
