[ LABEL + DISTRIBUTION / RELEASE OPS ]

Release the music.Keep the record behind it intact.

Fracture connects release planning, label services, metadata, platform delivery, catalog stewardship, and distribution coordination. Rights and authority are confirmed first; then the masters, artwork, credits, identifiers, approvals, delivery, and archive move as one release system.

[ WHO THIS HELPS ]

Who this is for.

  • Independent artists and teams planning a professional single, EP, or album release
  • Labels and catalog owners organizing assets, metadata, delivery history, and authority
  • Legacy projects preparing catalog stewardship or a controlled transition
  • Release teams that need production, media, campaign, and delivery handoffs connected

[ WHAT THE WORK CREATES ]

What the work produces.

  • A release plan with owners, milestones, approvals, assets, metadata, and delivery dates
  • Organized masters, artwork, credits, identifiers, versions, and supporting records
  • Distribution coordination matched to the authority and agreement for the project
  • Catalog or transition documentation designed for continuity, audit, and future use

[ 06 / SERVICE DIRECTORY ]

Label + Distribution services.

Release, catalog, metadata, distribution, and administration coordinated around clear rights and durable records. A service may be scoped on its own or connected to related disciplines when the project calls for it.

01

Label Services

Modular release and administration support without assuming a universal label, ownership, or deal structure.

02

Release Planning + Administration

A release plan tying schedule, responsibilities, approvals, assets, metadata, delivery, and archive together.

03

Distribution Coordination

Distributor and platform delivery work when Fracture has the authority required for the project.

04

Metadata + Platform Delivery

Organized identifiers, credits, ownership fields, assets, platform data, and delivery records.

05

Catalog Stewardship

Catalog assets, metadata, delivery history, approvals, and the records needed to manage them over time.

06

Catalog Migration + Transition

Rights-aware intake, metadata review, delivery planning, continuity checks, and post-transition audit.

[ HOW THE ENGAGEMENT MOVES ]

Understand first. Then execute.

  1. 01

    Establish authority

    Confirm who owns, controls, approves, delivers, and administers each part of the release or catalog.

  2. 02

    Build the record

    Organize masters, artwork, metadata, identifiers, credits, history, agreements, and status.

  3. 03

    Coordinate delivery

    Manage the approved schedule, versions, platform or distributor handoffs, and campaign dependencies.

  4. 04

    Audit and preserve

    Confirm delivery status, exceptions, final files, records, and the context needed after launch or transition.

[ CHICAGO / HOME CITY ]

Chicago is home, not a market label.

Chicago artists and labels can connect recording, final masters, artwork, credits, identifiers, approvals, delivery, campaign assets, and archive records instead of treating each as a separate last-minute task. Fracture’s role is defined around the authority actually granted for the project.

How Fracture serves Chicago

[ UNITED STATES / PROJECT REACH ]

The work can travel. The scope stays clear.

Release and catalog operations can coordinate contributors, teams, assets, metadata, and delivery across locations. Distributor relationships, territories, rights, takedowns, migrations, reporting, and continuity depend on the governing agreements and current platform requirements.

[ PRACTICAL QUESTIONS ]

What to know before you inquire.

Can Fracture distribute my music?

Fracture can coordinate distribution when the project, authority, and current relationship support it. Platform access, placement, territory, and outcomes are not promised by an inquiry.

Can you help with release metadata and credits?

Yes. The work can organize credits, identifiers, release information, assets, approvals, and delivery records, while the authorized parties remain responsible for the underlying rights and factual accuracy.

Do you handle catalog migrations?

Catalog transition support can include rights-aware intake, metadata and asset review, delivery planning, continuity checks, and post-transition audit. The controlling agreements and authority must be reviewed by the appropriate parties.

Does label services mean Fracture owns the masters?

No. Providing release, label, catalog, or administrative services does not by itself establish ownership. Ownership, licenses, administration, and distribution authority are separate agreement-specific questions.
