(MENAFN- The Moon News) Distrophonic Music today announced the public launch of its end-to-end digital music distribution and publishing platform designed for independent artists, producers, and labels across South Asia and beyond. Positioned as a technology-forward partner rather than a traditional intermediary, Distrophonic Music enables creators to release music worldwide, collect royalties across formats and territories, and manage their catalogs with professional-grade tools—without giving up ownership. From Bangladesh to the world, the new service promises transparent royalties, publishing administration, analytics, and anti-piracy tools—while letting artists retain 100% ownership of their rights.

“Independent artists deserve the same distribution power, data, and transparency that major labels take for granted,” said Md Jihad Hasan, Founder & CEO of Distrophonic Music. “We built Distrophonic so that a new artist in Dhaka can upload a release today and, within days, track real-time performance across Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, TikTok, and dozens of other services—then actually understand and receive what they’ve earned.”

A Platform Built Around Artist Control

At the core of Distrophonic’s product philosophy is a simple principle: artists keep their rights. The platform provides the infrastructure for global delivery and royalty collection while leaving ownership, creative direction, and revenue control with the artist or label.

Key features available at launch include:
• Global Distribution to 150+ DSPs
Single uploads are delivered to major streaming and social platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Amazon Music, Deezer, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook/Meta properties, Boomplay, Anghami, and more.
• Royalty Collection & Transparent Payouts
A unified dashboard aggregates earnings from streaming, downloads, and UGC (user-generated content). Artists can view territory, platform, and track-level data and export statements for accounting or label splits.
•Publishing Administration
For songwriter-artists, Distrophonic offers publishing administration to register works, claim mechanicals, collect performance royalties, and process YouTube composition income. The goal: capture revenue streams that often go unclaimed by self-releasing musicians.
•ISRC & UPC at No Extra Cost
Each release is assigned industry-standard identifiers—ISRCs for recordings and UPC/EAN for products—simplifying catalog control and ensuring compatibility with DSP, chart, and royalties systems.
• Analytics You Can Act On
The dashboard highlights growth markets, top tracks, listener demographics, and platform trends that inform touring, marketing, and release planning. Reports can be filtered by date and territory and shared with collaborators.
• AI-Assisted Mastering (Optional)
Built-in mastering tools help creators optimize loudness and tonal balance before delivery. Tracks remain under the artist’s control; mastering is optional and non-destructive.
• Anti-Piracy & Content Protection
Distrophonic applies audio fingerprinting and monitoring to help identify unauthorized uploads. Verified takedown requests are issued to platforms, and conflicts are escalated through established rights channels.
• Artist Services & Branding Support
The company supports Spotify for Artists verification, YouTube Official Artist Channel setup, store profile curation, and targeted promotional placements where available.

Local Context, Global Reach

While several international distributors serve Bangladesh and South Asia, Distrophonic argues that local context matters—especially for onboarding, language, and payments.

“Too often, creators here face avoidable friction: currency barriers, delayed support, or a lack of guidance about metadata, publishing, and copyright,” Hasan said. “We built a service that speaks the artist’s language—literally and operationally—while still delivering at a global standard.”

Distrophonic’s network spans more than 180 countries. The company says it is expanding partnerships with regional platforms to strengthen reach in emerging markets where streaming growth is outpacing global averages.

Designed for Labels as Well as Solo Artists

Beyond individual creators, Distrophonic serves boutique and developing labels with tools for roster management, catalog structuring, team permissions, and royalty splits. Label admins can create role-based access for managers, marketers, and accountants while keeping financial controls centralized.

For labels migrating from other distributors, Distrophonic supports catalog transfers with minimal downtime. The company provides guidance on preserving stream counts, playlist positions, and algorithmic signals during the changeover.

Pricing and Ownership

Distrophonic’s model is designed to be straightforward: artists retain 100% ownership of their sound recordings and compositions. Pricing options are available for singles, EPs, and albums, alongside professional plans for active catalogs. The company emphasizes that there are no hidden charges for mandatory identifiers (ISRC/UPC) and no lock-in contracts; artists are free to request takedowns or move catalogs if they choose.

A Publishing Mindset From Day One

Many first-time distributors focus only on sound recordings. Distrophonic made a strategic decision to integrate publishing administration early, aiming to solve a common income gap for independent creators.

“Recordings generate revenue, but so do the underlying compositions,” said Jihad. “If you write your songs, there’s money on the table that you might never see without proper registrations. Our publishing admin exists to make sure you do.”

The platform assists with work registrations, society affiliations where applicable, and claims for mechanical and performance income across digital services. Education resources explain the differences between master and publishing rights in clear, practical terms.

Data-Driven Artist Development

Distrophonic sees analytics as more than a post-release vanity dashboard. The company encourages artists to use location data and audience cohorts to drive real-world decisions—such as where to pitch for editorial, which cities to target for ads and radio, and how to time a remix or live session.

To support that approach, the dashboard distills complex datasets into accessible insights: Which track is trending in which city this week? Which platform is showing the highest save-to-stream ratio? Are listeners coming from algorithmic radios, editorial lists, or social UGC? Artists can export this information to share with managers, agents, and publicists.

Commitment to Fairness and Transparency

Distrophonic says its contracts, splits, and payout schedules are published in plain language and that artists can track the status of deliveries, claims, and disputes inside their account. Where platforms allow, the company enables direct artist profile control for bios, images, and social links.

The company’s support team operates in multiple time zones with email and ticketing workflows. Priority support is available for professional plans and labels.
