A cooperative, not a traditional label. You keep your masters and your money. The label earns by splitting infrastructure, not rights. For the people who make the noise.
Studio, label, publishing, agency, live production, and media are all divisions of the same house. An artist can use one shelf or the whole kitchen.
Joining the community is free and takes none of your rights. Levels only move up when both sides want them to.
Submit music, keep every right. Own your masters, release anywhere. Get played on Oven Radio, land on playlists, play showcases. A simple non-exclusive permission covers airplay; nothing else changes hands.
The Oven Records releases selected songs: distribution, a clear revenue split, real metadata, real registration. Song by song, on paper, both sides in the room.
The long game: marketing, investment, booking, publishing, management. The whole house behind one artist. Rare on purpose.
Every shelf is something you'd otherwise pay a label to do. Co-op members share infrastructure and split co-op profits. Deal terms vary by project.
Your home. Bio, music, shows, merch, links, photos. Hosted on theovenatx.com, retained by you. No "exclusive deal" required.
Print on demand + small-run hand-fulfillment. T-shirts, hoodies, posters, stickers. Co-op gets shop-rate; you get the margin.
Pre-order driven vinyl runs. We pool orders, hit minimums, press, ship. Real wax, no platform tax.
Brand partners that actually fit. Gear, beverages, software, services. Sponsorships that pay artists, not just the platform.
Refer plugins, studio time, gear rental, ticketing. Members earn split. The honest version of an "ambassador" program.
Co-op membership. Recurring or one-time, gets you all of the above. The only subscription on the site, and it's optional.
The co-op picks up the work that bigger labels treat as departments — without the gatekeeping or the take.
Pitch your catalog for film + TV + ad placements. The agent that submits, follows up, and tracks usage so you actually get paid.
Outbound press, blog placements, podcast bookings, premiere outreach. The agent that drafts the pitch, hits send, and hands you the clipping.
Playlist + DSP curator outreach. Tracks who picked you up, who passed, who's worth re-pitching. Built on SCOUT data.
Founding-member tier opens when MEMBERSHIP ships. Get on the list now.
