AJ TUNES!

AJTunes, sister company of Europe's leading dance music download store Audiojelly, is providing a home for independent artists to sell their music to a global consumer base.

Songwriters and producers Ricky Simmonds and Stephen Jones, who founded Audiojelly in 2004, are the driving force behind major acts such as Lustral, The Space Brothers, Chakra... and over the last decade they have released over 50 singles with independent and major labels.

The main motivation behind building a download store was to have a platform to sell their own music without relying on labels, distributors, record shops and the traditional channels of getting their music to a broad audience. Their experience and contacts within the Industry are unrivalled within the dance music download sector.

Audiojelly has become a distribution portal to some of the biggest labels and artists in global dance music. But there are many, many independent artists all over the world who are writing and producing music but (whether through their own choice or not) do not have the backing of a label to make their music heard and purchased.

This is where AJ Tunes will change the landscape for independent singers, producers, bands and DJs. Not only will they now have the opportunity to sell their music to consumers on every corner of the earth, but they will also have the perfect platform as a stepping stone to signing a recording deal.

With almost two thousand labels now signed to the Audiojelly store, the AJ Tunes team will be pro-active in highlighting the best music appearing on the AJ Tunes site, and will constantly inform the relevant labels of the best selling tracks and the most exciting new artists. Some of the biggest brands in dance music are among the hundreds of labels who will be keeping an eye on the latest talent appearing on the AJ Tunes store, with a view to signing the artists that could soon be on their own rosters.

Newsletters and alerts on the latest uploaded tracks will be sent to every A&R manager and label owner from over a thousand key labels in the dance music industry. Whether the goal of the artist is to land a recording deal or simply showcase their own music, they can be sure of one of the highest royalty rates on the internet for every download of their tracks purchased.
