PLUG INTO THE ELECTRIC UNDERGROUND
SociaLybrium: "For You - For Us - For All" Available Now
Based in New York City, LiveWired Music is a home for free-thinking artists with a sense of the adventurous. The avant garde underground provides a guiding principle for the label’s mission: to foster a creative and nurturing environment for visionary musicians, and to help them establish—or in some cases re-establish—a strong connection with their audiences and fanbase. Inspired by experimental fusions in jazz, rock, soul, dub, hip-hop, electronic and urban ethnic styles worldwide, the label seeks to partner with innovators from artistic communities that have always existed on the edge.
LiveWired Music also eschews the old record label formula in favor of artist-owned projects. As a non-profit label, we have designed an innovative revenue-sharing deal in which the artist and label have an equal stake in:
1) the initial production
2) recoupment of costs (according to the percentage of the production budget that each side contributes)
3) revenues, which are split down the middle 50/50.
In all cases, the artist owns the master recording and licenses it to the label for a specified term and option period. Since launching in March 2009, LiveWired Music has released five critically acclaimed albums, with more on the way.
