This article covers how to complete your Release Info Form for the Accelerate team.
We will provide you with a unique Release Info Form link for your label, you must use this unique link every time you submit a release.
The form gathers all pertinent information for your release, so you can share it with the team exactly as you require it (cutting down on additional emails for our labels).
If you’re not using our contracts or royalties services, please don’t be alarmed if you don’t see some of the fields shown in the video; to save you time we only collect the information we need.
If we are providing a contracting service, your contracts with be sent out shortly after you complete this form.
If you have any questions or need clarification, feel free to reach out to: accelerate@labelworx.com
If you require some written instructions on each page of the form, they are included below this video:
Page 1 – About the Release
This is the product level page for your release (you will add track level info later).
Please include the project title and main artist name.
If we are providing a contracts service for your label and you don’t require a contract for this release, please let us know here.
If your release is a compilation, please let us know here. The artist field will then disappear as your release will now be attributed to Various Artists.
The general release date is your main release date outside of an exclusive for a download store (Eg. Beatport).
If you select an exclusive release period for a store from the dropdown, the date for this will be added based on your general release date.
Please add as much info as you can into the description field, if you don’t have the full picture yet you can share it at a later stage.
Your P and C line will be pre-populated with your label name, please update as per your requirements.
Page 2 – Default Deal Terms
The percentage you provide us with as your Label Standards will pre-populate the royalty rate field, please amend here if required. You can also amend the royalty rate at track level later in the form.
Please select your term for the contract for this release and let us know if you are signing publishing.
The advanced deal splits field shows your Label Standards, please update if these differ for this deal.
Page 3 – Licensors
Please complete the information for all licensors associated with this release, and (where applicable) let us know if any of them require an advance or a dedicated remix contract.
If the split on each track is the same, you can select Yes at the bottom of the page and populate the splits here. These will then be automatically applied to all tracks on the release. If you select No, you will need to add splits individually to all tracks on the next page.
Select each licensor in the splits table by using the licensor number (1, 2, 3 etc) listed next to their first name. You can then add master splits (these must add up to 100%) and, if you are signing publishing, writer splits (these do not need to add up to 100%).
Page 4 – Track list
Please add all track level information here and follow the instructions for each field.
Add all the artists that will be tagged on your release and their relevant roles (primary, featuring etc) as well as your genre for Beatport and TikTok timestamp information. Our team will also advise you on best practices for tagging artists.
If your deal terms are different for any track, you can add that information at the bottom of each track listing. You can also add differing licensor splits per track here too.
Page 5 – Summary
We will send a copy of your answers to the email you provide here.
Plus, you can leave us any additional notes you would like to provide.
