As many of you know who listen to the podcast here from Xtra Tance Cast, which showcases independent Trance, House and Electronic Dance Music Artists from around the world , and from some of my previous posts…..the very nature, and origination of House, Techno, and Trance Music has always been with the independent artists and DJ’s

When I first found Create Space, I got all tingly inside.

Founded in 2002 as Custom Fix Labs, and now a subsidiary of Amazon.com, Create Space is a self publishing platform for independent artists, musicians, writers. film and video producers to create, publish, and yes…sell their creations on Amazon.com. , the Create Space Shop. or on your own website with customized e-stores.

Create Space’s on demand publishing, manufactures physical Books, Audio Books, CD’s, DVD’s, Video Downloads, HD DVD’s, (and soon coming Blu-Ray Disc), at a fraction of the cost of traditional manufacturing, with no overhead or inventory fees.

Now independent Electronic Dance Music Musicians and Artists need not worry about the expense of manufacturing, inventory and distribution. Create Space’s key features include:

• No set up fees.
• No minimums.
• No inventory
• You set you own price.
• Non exclusive agreement
• Bulk Orders at volume discounts
• Access to sell your product on Amazon.com, (and 124 Beats per Minute:))

When customers order, they manufacture on demand, and ship directly to them. You earn royalties based on the price that you set. When royalties exceed $20, you are paid by check, direct deposit, or wire transfer.

Additionally, for those who need complete solutions, they offer:

• Replication. Great for when you need 500 disks or more delivered to you.
• Authoring and Digitization. For content owners, movie and video producers who wish to turn their work into DVD, and HD DVD formats.
• Art Services to turn your CD, DVD, or HD DVD cases, disk faces, and menu inserts into a professional high quality presentation.

Create Space, and Amazon.com could feasibly change the face of music forever. By putting the rights and control, back in the hands of the artists, the big record companies as we know them, could go the way of the dinosaur, or be reduced to content and play list providers for the mindless drones who listen to the same 40 songs everyday on mainstream free radio, ( wait a minute, that’s what they are now..Hmmnn.)
