If you do not allow 2 weeks, your music will randomly be released on platforms at different times. If we are releasing for you, we want the best possible outcome and require that you have all the information available to us 3 weeks before your desired release date. This allows us adequate time to set everything up in the system.

Our DJ Service Packs give you the proper tools and presentation to promote your single or album. DJ Service Packs from promo companies do a great job at sending out your single to DJs, but don't actually register or encode the proper metadata into your music. We encourage you to still use those sites, but come to us first to make sure your single is properly registered with Mediabase, & Illuminated (former Soundscan). We encode your MP3s with all the metadata your record needs to be able to be tracked. Our DJ Service Pack also includes a link to a landing page that you can send out to promote yourself properly. The landing page is an EPK (electronic press kit) for your single/album. It includes your cover, a brief bio, your visual, links to download your encoded MP3s, & links to all your social media pages.

You put your heart and soul into creating the perfect song or project, but put no plan into how you will make sure the world gets to hear it?? Let us help you put together a roll-out for your project! We type up a play-by-play guide for you to follow. It starts with a Zoom virtual meeting with Strange to discuss your project, what you've done in the past, where you currently are, and where you hope to be. After the meeting, Strange will strategize an organized plan based on your project, goals, and budget. The plan will be a 6 to 8-week rollout that will include goals/ plays for each week. The rollout will help you organize, budget, and give you direction to move your career forward. We can help point you to reputable vendors, etc, as needed to execute the plan, and we can help you learn how to do plenty on your own without paying a ton of middlemen.
