Music Distribution

We have direct relationships with Digital Music Services and supply hundreds of stores using our own technology. No extra middle-men.

CD & Vinyl Manufacturing

We offer comprehensive options for pressing and packaging vinyl and CD - often available on a P&D basis.

Label Portal

Our web-based portal puts labels in control of their metadata and makes it easy to retrieve detailed reporting and accounting data.

Playlist Pitching

We pitch to editors at all the major services and regularly see our label's tracks featured in top playlists.

Direct Support

We assign every label an account manager. We're available by email, on the phone and in person to provide help and support.

Bandcamp Fulfilment

We take the leg work out of Bandcamp. Our automated product setup and order fulfilment allows labels to run their stores at scale.

"We joined Kudos in 1991 and they haven’t put a foot wrong; always on time with payments, as early adopters they established reliable digital distribution ahead of the game and have always shown the ability to adapt in increasingly difficult markets. They are like a family and always there for us. Highly recommended."

Touch
"Kudos have been a vital part of our label for the last 10+ years. Their advice and expertise is always on point and the portal allows me to monitor how releases are doing in real time. In an industry that seems to be veering towards a few companies owning everything, it’s refreshing to work with a fully independent company that treats artists and labels with respect."

First Word
"Kudos Distribution are one of our longest standing business partners in an industry where change is almost constant. We can 100% rely on their honesty and hard work and they are also nice people to deal with as well as musically knowledgeable. They carefully curate the labels that they work with, meaning that we are always working with the appropriate international partners for our genre."

Label Focus: SN Variations / Constructive

Tell us a bit about the beginnings of SN Variations, how did the label start? I had done an album, some of it recorded in Iceland. The remixes and the new track that followed were deemed too experimental by my then label, so I set up my own label to release them. …
