Spotify to add content from Alternative Distribution Alliance

February 12, 2009, 10:53

We have some more labels news to update everyone on today, we’ve come to an agreement with Alternative Distribution Alliance (ADA), one of the leading indie labels in the U.S. to distribute their music on Spotify. We already have a deal for their European catalogue but now we’re excited to be getting their American catalogue as well.

ADA covers labels such as Sub Pop and New line and has artists such as Aimee Mann and Bad Religion signed. We hope to start getting the content in the near future and adding it to our catalogue.

Wow according to wikipedia there are a lot of labels owned by ada, including rhino records etc and many labels I was curious about, also explains why there isn't stuff like the juno soundtrack or bands like Pavement avaliable. so my question is will any of it be restricted atall?

girl_from_oz - We already ADA's European catalogue which is why some artists already appear. The American catalogue should fill the holes that we're currently missing.

Sub Pop! Fantastic! Thanks!

Does the European catalogue just mean the European artists though cause there are some American artists like Adam Green already on here, I really hope this deal means I get the Juno soundtrack which is Rhino. Andres maybe you could compile a list of the labels that we'd expect to be getting stuff from like you did with Merlin, would be appreciated

Really good news about Sub Pop there... Thanks a lot for your good work!

My favorite band Bad Religion on spotify! YAY! Like many others, I would also appreciate more info on what's available and what's being made available. I'm sure you have your reasons not to have just a plain alphabetical listing of artists in spotify itself..

3 jaar geleden benjaminorff zei:

Great! Labels like Merge, Secretly Canadian, Sub Pop and Thrill Jockey is really what I've been missing on Spotify.

This is amazing! ADA has brilliant artists.

Wow! Can anyone put together "Best of" label playlists on www.yourspotify.com ?

Yay, Bad Religion and Millencolin :D Im so excited about this!

yes!!

Updates like this along with cross-platform mobile spotify clients (iphone/WinMo/Series 60) will make mp3 players and torrent sites close to obsolete, i.e. seriously changing the current dominant digital music landscape. Impressive to say the least, hopefully your business model won't collide with itunes as you increase in size and user base - I wouldn't be surprised if the Apple crew would threaten to kick out labels that choose to play with spotify. Keep up the good work!

Do you have any contact with the record companys "Adrian, Bad Taste". I really miss David & the Citizens!

3 jaar geleden honeypea zei:

<3 Spotify - can I suggest a "tag as wrong" button to alert you to miscategorised music? We can help! The few misclassifications make this wonderful service look poor when you first start (until you realise how great it is :) ). Just an idea!

3 jaar geleden dnmo zei:

tomb: David & the Citizens has some content available on Spotify, sadly not in Sweden tho. :/ (spotify:album:4DyMS8LmqvLkJLI0gqlMpS for example)

3 jaar geleden tomb zei:
