About Diogenes

Diogenes is a recently created, London-based small and dedicated digital hub for experimental music labels. Its aim is to guide the entrance into the online marketplace and enable a self-sufficient distribution network.

We work with a limited and focused number of small ‘outsiders’ music’ record labels to allow the creation, management and allocation of a given Digital Catalogue into online retailers and to the label’s own site.

Diogenes is entering commercial deals with a limited chosen Digital Music Stores (DMSs) whilst providing technical assistance, support, guidance for both ongoing activity and ad hoc projects for labels not having resources nor time to expand their market.

Diogenes will also focus on a White label providing exclusive digital catalogues in collaboration with the record label and independent yet signed artists. A special part of this service will include exclusive live events audio recordings and video with an interl sound editing service.
