Theres lots of traditional ways for independent musicians to get their music heard on Australian Radio, but I'm going to let you in on the depressing truth! If you send a CD to a radio station in the mail, unless you have a label backing and promoting you it has almost a 100 % chance of ending up in their bin. If your music has not been proven in another radio market all the label pushing in the world will not get it onto the air. You could cold call the station and if your very, very lucky the music director might have the time to speak to you in the foyer, but 9 times out of 10 thats as far as you'll get.

Promoting your music to radio effectively is a specialised profession, just as you need an accountant to do your accounting, a lawyer to argue your contracts - you need industry professionals to properly negotiate radio airplay for you.

Naturally you will always be able to get free airplay on the ILR worldwide network through our shows and on our ready for radio hitdiscs. But for those people interested in more specific, wider & individual exposure within Australia we offer the convenience of our radio distribution service.

Its not necessarily that helpful to our own radio service, to have the unique material we regularly solicit available to our competitors, but we think its fairer to our contributors to expand the airplay options we can offer them. We already offer incredible radio exposure opportunities for oversea's artists in Australia, but we'd like to be able to also offer "goldcard more than incredible" services!

We know the right stations and the right people to give your music the best chance of getting the widest possible additional airplay outside our own network. Also, because we deal with a great many Australian record labels (large & small) on a weekly basis, we're in a great position to give your music to the right people for consideration. We provide information and free distribution packages to Australian radio stations and pass on material to local record labels. We ask radio stations to complete feedback forms and let us know what they've added so we can pass the good news on to you! Music directors look to us as a source of great new talent for immediate radio airplay. A great many CD's sent on their own to radio stations are ignored (unless they come from a regular supplier such as a large record label), the large packets of new material we send will always be opened and always noticed!

Naturally it costs us time and money to provide such a useful service, so we can't provide it free as part of the ILR radio network (we can't for example fund it with advertising). However we keep the costs to you as reasonable as possible. For a flat fee per CD we can distribute your music. There is no minimum number of CD's but we place a maximum ceiling of 1000 CD's per each individual release. If you do the mathematics on postage you'll also realise that to send us say a box of 100 CD's from overseas will work out a lot cheaper than individually mailing 100 CD's to 100 seperate locations from overseas to Australia. Or alternatively you can take advantage of the cheap rate we can offer you for duplicating locally. Of course you'll also benefit because of the low exchange rate of the Oz dollar

Once we've placed your material we'll e-mail you an advice stating the names, locations, frequencies, formats and currently reported potential audience of each placement; or the name of the local record label, its nature and location (or if your material is dance/techno oriented also the names and club locations of club DJ's we've distributed it to). Naturally we have no control over what gets picked up by other radio services, but lets face it we're in the business and you've got a lot better chance distributing through us!

Interested?

THE NITTY-GRITTY DETAILS!

You can do a distribution through us in one of two ways:

We get the CD's duplicated for you locally and distribute them for you.

OR

You supply the CD's in the post and we distribute them for you.

OPTION 1: Duplication and distribution

A lot of artists have said to us that they would love to take advantage of our distribution system, but simply don't have sufficient copies of their release to go ahead. Also the complexities of international posting can sometimes be a bit daunting. Until recently duplication locally was far too expensive an option, (it was still much cheaper to just do it in the US) but finally Australian duplicators are becoming competitive.
By far this distribution option is the fastest and easiest and if you pay by credit card online we can have your distribution in the works by the end of the week. All we need is a single copy of your release in our library and we handle the rest.
