Distribution

The whole path, from account to performance.

Dvpper Digital is the infrastructure around a release: who sends it, what it contains, who reviews it, where it goes, and how it is doing afterwards.

Release Distribution

Where an approved release actually goes.

We deliver approved recordings to the streaming and download platforms your listeners already use, including the regional services that carry weight across Africa. Delivery waits for approval, so a draft never reaches a store.

  • Spotify, Apple Music, Audiomack, Boomplay, YouTube Music and more
  • Audio and artwork delivered together
  • The date on the release is the date that goes out
  • Regional stores added when they matter to the audience

Metadata Management

Credits, titles and artwork checked before a platform sees them.

Metadata is what stops a release being held, miscredited or filed under the wrong artist. Names, featuring credits and artwork are captured on the submission and checked before anything is delivered.

  • Composer and producer as full legal names
  • Featuring credits distinguished from primary artists
  • Artwork title matched to the submission
  • Explicit content flagged per track

Release Operations

Schedule, review and the hand-off between them.

A release has a lead time and a weekday for a reason: pitching and playlist timing need both. The portal only offers dates that already satisfy the rules, and the team reviews what you sent before it moves.

  • 21 days’ notice for a single, 28 for an EP or album
  • Release days are Wednesday, Thursday or Friday
  • Status moves in the open, from submitted to a decision
  • A requested change comes back with a note

Artist & Label Management

Artists, labels and sub-distributors, without mixed catalogues.

A direct artist works from their own account. A label holds several artists and keeps each catalogue separate. A sub-distributor manages the artists they represent, and does not take over anyone else’s.

  • Direct artists submit and track their own releases
  • Labels manage more than one artist
  • Sub-distributors manage the artists they represent
  • Assets and credits stay on the right catalogue
How labels and partners work

Analytics

Performance, read in the same place as the release.

After distribution, the question is how the release is moving. Analytics sits with the release so the artist, the label and the team are not reconciling three different exports.

  • Looked at after the release is out
  • Attached to the release it describes
  • Shared by the people who already work on it
  • A view of performance, not a royalty ledger
Analytics as a service

Operational Support

Someone on the release when the form is not enough.

Support is part of operations: a question before you submit, a note when review needs a fix, and a way to reach the team if the date is close. Email works when you are not signed in.

  • Ask before a small mistake becomes a rejection
  • Review notes say what to change
  • Support from inside a signed-in account
  • A contact path for every kind of enquiry

The workflow begins there. Submit a release once you are in.
