What is Accelerate?
Accelerate is our in-house label management service.
Once you’re plugged into our system, we take care of many tasks to keep your label operating for a fraction of the cost of a full-time label manager.
What would you do for my label?
We’ll make running your label a stress-free experience.
Our team of experts can take care of your release schedule, deliveries to DSPs, artist royalty statements, contracts, and much more.
Allowing you to focus on the creative and signing great music.
Who is Accelerate for?
Do you want to run a label to develop new talent, build your brand, or strengthen your artist profile?
But you don’t have the budget to employ a full-time label manager or the time to stay on top of all the day-to-day tasks that come with running a label?
If you answered ‘yes’ then Accelerate is for you.
How does it work?
Your contract will outline everything that we do for each release, so there are no hidden costs, but an Accelerated release could look like this:
- You send us the music that you want to sign and release, along with artwork and the deal terms you want to offer. We contract your release.
- We agree on a release strategy with you, and then set the release up on our system with all the correct metadata so everyone gets paid properly.
- We liaise with any marketing teams you work with and make sure the release is pitched for store features and pre-save links are generated.
- Once the music is out, we’ll make sure it’s listed correctly on stores, and advise on any post-release strategies or opportunities that could help the campaign.
What are the benefits?
Apart from taking away all the stress and leaving you to focus on the fun bits, like signing music?
Here are three other reasons:
- We future-proof the labels we work with. So if there are opportunities to boost sales with new tools and technology, or capitalise on a promotional offer from one of our DSPs, your label won’t miss out.
- Organisation is the key to success; our methodical team will ensure your label runs like clockwork and keep on top of all your administrative tasks like reporting and royalty accounting.
- Guidance from a team of experts who will help you drive your project forward and connect you with third-party companies who can support you with the press, DJ promo and even vinyl production.
Why should I trust LabelWorx with my label?

Artists with releases Accelerated by LabelWorx include Cloonee, Skream & Michael Bibi, Carl Cox & Reinier Zonneveld, Space 92, Max Dean, Bedouin and ANOTR.
LabelWorx made things so much easier for me and my team when we launched TAKEOFF. They respond almost instantly when we have a question, and their advice, has been invaluable. Their team is truly dedicated to helping us grow, and their follow-up and strategic counsel are precious.
