Most of the Dance Download DSPs do not support duplicate artist pages with the same name. If another artist of the same name already exists on one of these stores, you can deliver your releases to a separate artist page and avoid merging by setting an alternative artist name to use on those stores instead:
-
Select the artist to edit: If you are adding an artist from our database to your Display Artist and they need to use an alternative name on some stores, click 'Edit Artist' next to their name.
Alternatively, if you have already released with an artist and later notice an alternative name is needed, go to Artists ➜ Artist Roster in the top menu and search for the artist you want to edit. -
Select the store: On the artist's profile, scroll down to the 'DSP Music Profiles (Deliver As)' section and click 'Set' on the relevant stores where your artist's name is already taken by another artist (this can also be done for Beatport in the 'DSP Music Profiles' section).
e.g. If 'Chris Chambers' is the name used by your artist, but this name is already taken by another artist on Traxsource, click 'Set' on Traxsource to specify an alternative name to use on this store. -
Set a 'Deliver As' name: You can then specify the alternative artist name for this store (suffixing your artist name with the artist's home country is recommended). Be sure to check the store for yourself to confirm that this alternative name is not already in use, then click the 'Save' button.

Pending review: You will now see your requested 'Deliver As' artist name for that DSP. Please note that as the LabelWorx artist database is shared by all clients, these changes are not instant. Our team will manually review your edits to determine the accuracy of the request before approval.
- Approval / Rejection: If your requests are approved, releases featuring this artist that haven't been set to Final will use these updated details (please contact support if you need to update a finalised release by this artist). If your requests are rejected, you will be notified by email with an explanation.
