White-label and built in modules. Early access is opening in stages.
- Independent distributors
- Record labels
- Publishers & rights companies
- Aggregators & regional distributors
- Music entrepreneurs
- Established distributors
Who it’s for
Your brand. Your artists. Your platform.
DistroBricks is white-label music distribution infrastructure, built in modules. Pick the modules you need, bring your own store deals or use ours, and connect your systems through a full API.
Independent distributors
“Run your distribution business under your own name.”
A branded portal for your team and your clients, delivery to stores, and statements for your labels and artists.
Record labels
“Your label, your platform.”
Catalog, sub-label accounts, delivery under your label’s name and clear artist statements.
Publishers and rights companies
“Metadata done right, from writers to splits.”
Full credits and publishing metadata on every recording you control, with delivery and reporting.
Aggregators and regional distributors
“Built for volume.”
Bulk tools, batch delivery, many client accounts, and an API and webhooks for automation.
Music entrepreneurs
“Launch a distribution company without building one.”
Everything ready to go — and our store deals to start with, so you can launch before you have your own.
Established distributors
“Modern infrastructure for the deals you already have.”
Catalog migration, your own store deals and DDEX Party ID, and an API to connect your systems.
The Bricks
Built in modules. Switch on what you need.
A Brick is a module that does one job and works with every other, on a shared core. Start with what you need; add a Brick when you’re ready.
Catalog
Every release, perfectly described.
Artists, labels, releases and tracks with full credits and publishing. ISRC and UPC issued for you, artwork converted automatically, style-guide checks that show the exact fix, bulk import and export.

Delivery
Delivery to stores, in the industry’s language.
Releases go out as DDEX ERN 4.3 — the standard format stores use to receive releases — checked before they leave and tracked until each store confirms they are live.
- Quality before delivery
- Every release is checked against a house style guide and content policy, with a review queue, before it reaches a store.
- Live means live
- “Delivered” is never shown as “Live”. Only a store’s confirmation makes a release live.
- Your deals or ours
- Deliver under your own store deals and DDEX Party ID, or start on our store deals and switch any time.
Each store goes live once its agreement is in place. The current list is available on request.
One delivery, start to finish
- Validated
- Packaged
- Delivered
- Acknowledged
- Liveconfirmed by store
Each step is recorded with its time and the store’s own reply, so you can always show what happened.
Royalties
Every cent, accounted for.
Royalties run through a double-entry ledger, so every statement and payout adds up exactly — and every line traces back to the store report it came from.
- Exact amounts
- Kept to six decimal places and rounded only where money actually moves — statements reconcile.
- Deals, splits and recoupment
- Revenue shares, artist and label splits, advances and recoupment, with currency conversion.
- Two people on money
- Adjustments, royalty runs and payouts need a second person to approve them.
- Statements and payouts
- Statements in PDF and CSV for every label and artist, then withdrawals and payouts.

API & developers
An API with the same reach as the portal.
Everything your team can do in the portal for catalog, delivery and royalties, your systems can do through the API.
- REST API described in OpenAPI
- Scoped API keys
- Signed webhooks for every change
- A sandbox with test stores
- Developer docs and a TypeScript SDK
API access opens with early access.
Security & data
Private by default. Yours to keep.
Isolation and access control are enforced by the system itself, not left to good intentions.
Your data, walled off
Each company’s data is isolated from every other in the database itself — and tested on every change.
Two-step sign-in
Authenticator apps and passkeys, required for owners, admins, finance and delivery roles.
Audit trail
Every sensitive action is recorded at the moment it happens, and the record cannot be edited.
Staff access by grant only
Our staff see your content only through a time-boxed, audited support grant that you are told about.
Sealed secrets
Store credentials and payout details are encrypted, sealed and never shown back.
Your data stays yours
Your artists are your own. If you leave, you take a full export of your data with you.

Who is DistroBricks for?
Companies that run — or want to launch — a music distribution business: independent and regional distributors, record labels, publishers and rights companies, aggregators, music entrepreneurs and established distributors modernising their systems.
When does it launch?
We are opening early access in stages. Nothing is available yet — join the waitlist and we will contact you when there is a place for your business.
Do I need my own store deals?
No. You can deliver under your own store deals and DDEX Party ID, or start on our store deals and switch any time. Each store goes live once its agreement is in place; the current list is available on request.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes. Your portal, login page, emails, statements and exports carry your brand and run on your own domain. Our name stays out of your product.
Do you take a share of my artists’ royalties?
Never on your own store deals. If you deliver on our store deals, an admin fee applies per plan. Pricing is shared with businesses joining early access.
Can I move an existing catalog?
Yes. Bulk import and catalog transfer keep your ISRCs, UPCs and releases already live in stores. Tell us about your catalog in your waitlist message.
Can I leave and take my data?
Yes. Your artists and your data are yours, and you can take a full export with you at any time.
