OC ReMix on Spotify?

[Naminu]

Hi!

I really want to be able to listen to OcRemix on Spotify.
Who makes that decission? Can we just ask them to add all OcRemixes to their library?

Someone send an invite to admin@ocremix.org and let's see if we can get something going. Thanks for the suggestion!

A blogger-friend of mine: http://www.stianandreassen.com/2008/12/29/you-can-has-spotify/
(norwegian site) - gives out invitation-tokens to anyone.
Just grab one from there.

A great idea, I'm not sure how big Spotify is in the US yet, but it's huge in Europe. It must be a great way of reaching out. I read an article about it in the papers a little while ago, and it said that the reason they'd made it big was because they landed contracts with major labels early on. I'm sure they want more content, so both parts will benefit from it.

Also, you might want to check this (https://www.spotify.com/en/work-with-us/labels-and-artists/) page, Larry.

Hi.

Spotify is a big thing in many european countries, but isn't available in the US yet. I asked the forum a couple of months ago if anyone could try and contact Spotify and get OCR available there, but nothing happened.

But I have a different question this time.
Which OC-artists are on Spotify now? (With other songs than OCR obviously.) I've found zircon and pixietricks. (playing jillian goldin right now.) But are there any other OC-artist out there?

Over a year later and still no OC ReMix on spotify. That's a shame! What needs to be done to get OC ReMix on Spotify?

Does spotify not work on labels? i.e. a label agrees to let all the music it owns be put up on spotify. I really dont have a clue how the legal side of OCR works, but it would need to be it's own record label to get music up on spotify.


or, i may be completely wrong...

I found this page on their site:
http://www.spotify.com/nl/work-with-us/labels-and-artists/

"The quickest way for a new label to get its music onto Spotify is to contact a record label or aggregator that already has an agreement and delivery process in place with Spotify. We have a complete list of aggregators we work with."

Here you can find the list of aggregators:

There might be some legal barriers to it I'd suspect.

Afaik, Spotify only has music thats commercially available. As OC Remix's music is free, it might not be allowed to be put it in its database.

Spotify is finaly launching in the US.

I hope someone in the OCRemix-staff can try once more to get OCRemixes out there...
