Label Services

We’re not picky when it comes to genres and are open to anything. However, we are ultimately looking for artists creating great music.

Our Artist & Label Services model is invite-only, so as well as listening to the music, we are also looking at the artist’s brand identity, current fanbase and their short term vs long term goals and what they are doing to achieve these.

Unless cancelled or ended as outlined in the full Contract signed, it will initially last for 2 years starting from the date you upload your first recording to your Artist & Label Services account. After that, it will automatically renew for 1-year periods unless either Horus Music or the Client gives written notice to end it at least 30 days before the next anniversary. Please note that the contract term will only apply to the releases uploaded to your account.

We account to and pay all eligible clients within 60 days period on a monthly basis post receiving the royalties and corresponding sales reports from the digital platforms we deliver your music to.

Please note, that many stores take up to 3 months to account to us, so when you first sign up there may be a delay before you receive your royalties, but you can still log in to your account and keep track of your sales.

This payment timeline is in place as it allows our accounts department the necessary time to investigate and ensure that royalties are rightly distributed, deducting amounts from artists and labels who engage in streaming fraud activity. This pro-active measure aims to shield all non-fraudulent clients from potential ramifications arising from DSP-imposed fines and changes to accounting.

Royalty payments are automatically sent to all eligible artists and record labels on the 15th of every month. In some cases, payments may be sent earlier or later than the 15th – in this circumstance we will be sure to notify all clients in advance.

Payment thresholds are also in place. If you’re not in the UK, there is a £10.00 (GBP) minimum threshold (due to bank conversion fees etc). For UK based clients there are no minimum payouts.

If you already have a distributor and are looking to transfer your catalogue to Horus Music, you’ll want to follow the right steps. Otherwise you may risk losing stream counts on streaming platforms such as Spotify, or risk there being a period where your releases aren’t live.

First, you’ll need to set up an artist or label account with Horus Music. From there, go to ‘Releases’ > ‘New Audio Release’ and upload each release in your catalogue.

Be careful when entering the metadata for each release. You’ll need to check the ISRC codes for each track are the same as with your previous distributor, along with the rest of the metadata (release dates, track titles and artist names).

From there, you can submit each release for distribution. Our team will then get to work to process and send the catalogue to the platforms. Finally, you’ll need to email the distribution team at alr@horusmusic.co.uk, and let them know which releases you’re transferring to Horus Music.

We also offer editorial playlist pitching services, to help promote your tracks with the right curators, to boost streams and grow your following.

For Artist & Label Services clients we offer this for FREE!

We’ll pitch your upcoming single, EP or album to our exclusive, editorial curator contacts from digital streaming platforms across the globe.

​​Pitching begins six weeks before your release date, giving our contacts plenty of time to review your release. We’ll keep in touch with you throughout the process and as soon as wins come through, you’ll be sent links and screenshots to share with your listeners on social media.
