#189: Could Re-Releasing Music Boost Your Streams? A Guide to the Waterfall Release Strategy 14:49

1 day geleden14:49

14:49

Send me a message Ever released a song only to watch it vanish into the streaming void after a brief moment in the spotlight? In this episode of Inside The Mix, Marc Matthews delves into the waterfall release strategy , a strategic approach to music distribution that aims to revolutionise how artists share their work and maximise their reach. The core concept of the waterfall release strategy is explained: instead of releasing singles in isolation or dropping an entire album at once, artists gradually build momentum by rereleasing previous tracks alongside each new single. The episode outlines how an artist might start with one song, then release it with the second single, followed by packaging all three tracks together for the third release, continuing this pattern until the complete EP or album is unveiled. Marc provides a practical walkthrough of how to implement this strategy using DistroKid, although he notes that the underlying principles are applicable across various distribution platforms. He emphasises the critical importance of maintaining identical metadata and audio files for re-released tracks on DistroKid, the correct and consistent use of ISRC codes, and offers practical tips to help artists avoid common pitfalls when using DistroKid for a waterfall release. Sharing his own experiences, Marc discusses testing this approach with his recent releases, "Waves," "Separation," and "Four Minute Warning." He highlights the noticeable increase in streams for his earlier tracks, demonstrating a tangible benefit of the strategy. The episode explores the potential advantages of the waterfall strategy for artists looking to maximise their music's reach and lifespan, particularly on Spotify. Marc discusses how this method can keep an artist's catalog fresh in listeners' minds, potentially trigger algorithmic favour through consistent releases, and create multiple opportunities for music discovery on platforms like Spotify. He poses the question of how a waterfall release can help boost Spotify streams and keep back catalogs relevant. While acknowledging it's not a guaranteed solution, Marc positions the waterfall strategy as a compelling option for producers and artists aiming for sustained traction rather than a fleeting moment in the spotlight. He encourages listeners to consider if this approach, particularly when implemented through DistroKid, could transform their next music release and help them effectively utilise the waterfall release strategy on Spotify.

Send me a message What happens when a keyboard player for Korn and Five Finger Death Punch dives headfirst into the neon-soaked synthwave world? Davey Oberlin joins Marc Matthews to reveal how he transforms classic rock anthems into synthwave masterpieces through his project, All The Damn Vampires. Davey breaks down his cover of Whitesnake's Is This Love , uncovering the creative process behind reinterpreting rock songs in a different musical style. From drop F guitar tunings that create wall-shaking heaviness to vocal production techniques that achieve 80s aesthetics in modern synthwave production , every decision is made with precision. "I picture that dark studio vocal booth in the '80s," Davey explains, "then try to get the sound that matches the vibe." The conversation explores using vintage effects in synthwave production and the unique challenges of blending organic and electronic elements. Davey introduces “Vice Core,” his signature fusion of Miami Vice aesthetics, yacht rock sensibilities, and metal intensity—creating an entirely new sonic experience. He also shares insights into how audiences react to synthwave covers of rock classics, balancing nostalgia with innovation. What You’ll Learn: Arrangement strategies for synthwave compositions that retain the emotional impact of rock originals Mixing and mastering techniques for synthwave tracks that balance analog warmth with modern polish Why so many metal musicians transition into synthwave and how the two genres overlap How to reinterpret rock songs while preserving their essence and avoiding common pitfalls The role of quad-tracking rhythm guitars in creating a massive yet controlled sound The importance of visual storytelling in synthwave production and its impact on sonic choices Whether you're a producer experimenting with how to cover a rock song , a guitarist exploring electronic textures, or simply fascinated by the evolution of synthwave, Davey delivers an inspiring look at reinvention, collaboration, and pushing creative boundaries.

Send me a message In this episode of Inside The Mix, host Marc Matthews engages in a profound conversation with Tyler Lyle, the singer-songwriter and one-half of the synthwave duo, The Midnight. Tyler delves into the enigmatic nature of songwriting, describing it as "a well-narrated hallucination," and likens the creative process to "trying to start a truck sitting on a block of ice." Drawing from his folk storytelling roots, Tyler shares how he seamlessly integrates evocative lyrics into The Midnight's nostalgic synth-driven soundscapes. He contrasts the tangible aspects of music production with the abstract challenges of lyric writing, emphasizing the importance of consistent dedication—what he refers to as the "ass-in-chair method." This disciplined approach involves daily studio sessions from 10 am to 5 pm, complemented by morning routines of journaling, exercise, and meditation to foster creativity. The synergy between Tyler and his production partner, Tim McEwan, is highlighted as a harmonious blend of prolific idea generation and meticulous refinement. Despite geographical distances, they prioritize periodic in-person collaborations to capture the irreplaceable energy of shared creative spaces. Much of the discussion centers on Tyler's transition from confessional songwriting to crafting lyrics rich in archetypes and universal symbols. Inspired by Carl Jung's philosophies, he aims to create a shared mythological space within The Midnight's music, allowing listeners to project their meanings onto the imagery. What You'll Learn: The abstract nature of lyric writing and strategies to overcome creative challenges. The importance of consistent routines in fostering creativity. Balancing prolific idea generation with meticulous refinement in collaborative settings. The role of archetypes and universal symbols in crafting resonant lyrics. Insights into blending folk storytelling with synthwave aesthetics. For aspiring artists, Tyler emphasizes creating work that embodies truth and necessity, encouraging authentic expression over external validation. He reminds creatives that they are conduits, "ferrying ideas from one realm to this one," and underscores the significance of producing art that resonates fundamentally. Join Marc and Tyler as they explore the depths of the songwriting process, offering invaluable insights for independent music producers and artists seeking to elevate their craft.
