Do you need a label to release an album?

Yes and no. Record labels used to be the gatekeepers of the music industry. That made it almost mandatory to seek A&R if you wanted to release your music. With so many online distributors, often referred to as aggregators, the fastest and easiest way to get your music out on music streaming platforms is undoubtedly self-publishing.

A successful release is not just about throwing your music on the streaming platforms and hoping for the best. You need to make the audience aware of your music. 

Oclassica can help you make your music visible to the audience. We can put your tracks into dozens of different compilation albums. The more compilation albums that contain your track, the more streams and listeners you will get. Self-publishing with digital distributors does not offer this opportunity.

What repertoire do we accept to release on the label?

Oclassica is a data-driven music record label. This means that we rely on data and research to determine what repertoire is most in demand on music streaming services. We work with classical music, classical crossover, and various instrumental music. If you are only planning to record an album, we recommend that you contact us with demo recordings. Then together we can choose the right repertoire for your planned album. If you already have a professional quality recording, we would be happy to consider it for release and give you our feedback.

Modern studio equipment usually supports these formats. The minimum acceptable quality of audio files corresponds to the usual quality of CD: WAV 16 bit / 44.1kHz.
