You get everything you need to grow, all in one place, without giving up a single right.
IndieMassive isn’t a standalone distributor. It’s the distribution arm of Actuation Group, a self-funded 360 music ecosystem we built and own outright. That means the tools you use to release music, the marketing and promotion that get it heard, and the label expertise behind it all sit under one roof and connect directly to your distribution. Most artists and labels have to stitch these together from separate companies, each taking a cut and each with its own agenda. Here they work as one system built for you.
Because we’re self-funded, we answer to artists, not investors. There’s no pressure to squeeze your catalog to satisfy a shareholder. You keep 100% of your rights and 100% of ownership. We give you the infrastructure of a major label without asking you to hand over what makes your work yours.
This is no issue at all. All we would need is a DDEX export from your previous distributor. There are no fees for this!
If your distributor refuses to give you a DDEX export, please reach out to contact@indiemassive.com for assistance.

IndieMassive is a digital music distribution service which allows its users to upload music to all of the major platforms such as Spotify, TikTok, Instagram/Facebook, Apple Music, Amazon, iTunes, YouTube, Shazam and lots more!
IndieMassive offers fast and reliable delivery to all of the major stores whilst being the most transparent distribution service on the market. Whether you’re an independent musician or big-time label, distributing with IndieMassive means that you will have access to IndieMassive’s in-depth analytics tool, network of active playlist curators and the IndieMarket, a marketplace of useful and verified services.
The IndieMassive editorial team reviews all songs for consideration for their playlist network. They never promise any placements but if you’re lucky enough to land a placement, then you’ll see this playlist feature on your Spotify for Artists.
A cover song is a recording of a song that was previously written. If you plan on releasing a cover song then you will need to obtain the mechanical license from the original copyright owner. This can be done with easysong.com here – https://www.easysong.com/
You must have your song cleared via easysong.com before you distribute via IndieMassive.
Are samples or vocals from the original singer allowed? No.
If your song is a mixtape, mashup or remix, you will also need to obtain the rights via easysong.com.
A soundalike cover song is one that sounds identical to the original. This can be perceived as deceptive and the song is likely to be hidden by many stores. If this is the case then please be wary that IndieMassive will not provide a refund.
Cover songs should NOT include the original performing artist in the track title or artist field.

IndieMassive has an editorial team that manage the IndieMassive Spotify accounts linked below. If your song is a great fit for one of our playlists then you might just get added!

All new services added would be available for you to use. If such a service would require a new contract between you and IndieMassive (such as a publishing agreement), this would require us to enter into such discussions, but there would be no charge for you. We really mean it when we say zero hidden fees!
As long as your content is not sexist, racist or just objectively offensive, then we can distribute it for you.
Our first priority is to ensure that all content we distribute respects and adheres to the requirements, standards and style guides of the various DSPs.
With IndieMassive, you can choose the release date yourself and with the majority of stores, the song will be online at 00:00 CEST.
Your cover art should follow the following guidelines:
*Failure to adhere to these requirements may result in your song being rejected by some stores.
It can sometimes happen that your song name has a typo, or you accidentally uploaded the wrong cover art. In this case, please reach out to the IndieMassive team at contact@indiemassive.com
If there’s an error with your upload then you will receive an automated email and a member of the IndieMassive team will reach out to resolve this with you.
We’re selective, on purpose.
We’re not chasing sign-up numbers. We grow when our clients grow, so we only take on artists and labels we know we can genuinely help. That means we’d rather turn away a client who isn’t the right fit than add another name to a list and watch it go nowhere.
If we work with you, it’s because we see a real path to building your brand, your catalog, and your business. Our growth comes from yours. When you win, we win, and that’s the only model that makes sense to us.
At IndieMassive, we champion true artistry. We do not allow AI-generated music to make its way to the DSPs through IndieMassive. We use ACR Cloud, Pex and our proprietary scanning model to scan and detect any AI use in recordings.
We take a firm stance against generative AI.
Spotify for Artists allows artists, labels, and distributors to get the most out of Spotify by understanding their audiences, personalizing their artist profiles, and taking action to build their fanbases.
If you run a label that has music on Spotify, you can now use Spotify for Artists to access a number of features —including album-level data across your entire catalog (including custom date ranges), playlist pitching and other Campaign Kit tools, Canvas and Clips uploads, and more. Labels can add multiple people to their teams, and see a log of Spotify for Artists actions taken across their team with the new Activity Page. Both artist and label teams will be able to make changes to an artist profile — whether it’s updating a bio or sharing a playlist through Artist Pick. If you’ve never used Spotify for Artists, you can check out their label onboarding guide here. Their website provides a great overview of how you can get the most out of Spotify for Artists.
To claim your Spotify for Artists profile and get access to your catalog, you’ll need a Spotify account and your work email address. If you’re the first person from your organization to request access, you’ll need the URIs of at least 3 tracks that you’ve previously delivered to Spotify. If your organization has already been set up with Spotify for Artists, your request will go to your Spotify For Artists Label Team’s Admin.
Head to artists.spotify.com/claim to get started. artists.spotify.com/c/add-team (or Settings > Create Team) while logged into Spotify for Artists to claim a label team.
