WILDSIDE

11/12/2021

At Wildside we understand that not only every musician but every release requires different  types of support in order for it to be successful. We take a flexible and collaborative approach, by first listening to what our artists goals and needs are and then co-creating a bespoke release strategy to fit.

We don’t judge the success of a release purely on the number of streams but also on the degree to which we fulfilled those goals. 💫

Think global, Act local. 💫

Most emerging independent artists don’t make their money on streaming, in fact over 90% of all streaming revenue from DSPs goes to the top 1% of artists (most of which are signed to major labels) so, we direct our strategy toward growing a focused and loyal fan base within their local scene which not only creates the foundation for steady organic growth but also generates revenue for or artists at a stage when streaming will not.

As a non-profit organization our mission is not only to release inspiring music, but also to use the power of community which is created around music as an agent of positive change in the world. 🙌

Started as a university project to gather friends around the decks, WILDSIDE reappeared years later as an event company while being locked down in magical Thailand, drawing on its unique music vibes and sharing playful rhythms.

Proving its ability to create music independently, collaborate with Thai musicians and build community across cultures by speaking a truthful and heartwarming language. 🧡

The role of record labels has changed drastically over the decades, even more so with the widespread adoption of digital streaming platforms.

Gone are the days of artists signing away their music for multimillion dollar advances, and locking into multi-album deals.

In the digital streaming age, where the plethora and diversity of indie music is being drowned out by major labels we are in need of a new model for how labels operate...
Labels need to be nimble, reactive and flexible to really serve the creative purpose of artist/label collaboration. 

Our main thing is transparency - with simplified contracts you don’t need a lawyer to decipher. And no 360 deals.

So you might be wondering why Wildside? 😏 part2.

Lou Reed and his “Walk on the Wild Side” song told the stories of marginalised people from the underground of New York city whose stories were not normally being told and bringing them into the light.

We have a similar dream - to release, share and give a voice to music which isn’t being heard and which creatively inspires us. ☺️🙌✨

So you might be wondering, why Wildside? 😏

To ‘take a walk on the wildside’ was made famous by Lou Reed back in the early 70s, was a countercultural anthem which was a truly risque and groundbreaking song of the the, touching on taboo topics..

🧩Our visual language is reflective of the rhythm, path, tone and feeling of the music we release.

When everything is combined our visual world is created. 🧩

There would be no music industry without artists, and frankly, we’re sick of seeing labels which don’t operate in a way that values the life blood of the industry.

Majority share of royalties and returning ownership of their masters are just a couple of ways that we at Wildside are lifting the standard of the artist-label relationship.

As a non-profit company, we’re not here to squeeze every penny out of a artist but rather to support their unique talent allowing creative freedom to be fully expressed through their music.

Long time no see! 👻

We’ve been silently working away the last several months behind the scenes to bring you all something very exciting - a whole new approach to how record labels operate.

We can’t wait to share it with you.

Stay tuned! ✨

At WILDSIDE our aim has been to create amazing musical content and experiences for the world.
To achieve this, we've explored many niches to find the perfect fit: events brand, content creators, record label.
This has brought us to a refined vision: working with artists to produce & showcase incredible music.
As a result, we have decided to scale back our events into small-scale intimate performances.

Coincidentally, we have decided not to pursue our Record Label Launch at Retro Mountain.
We respect every business's right to follow their own vision, it brings beautiful diversity to human industry.
In this case, Retro Mountain and we could not find a shared vision to proceed.
We wish them a bright and blessed future.

We want to thank, from the bottom of our hearts, every person who's contributed to our journey so far.
You all truly matter and we wouldn't have had it any other way.

So, what does the future look like?
We'll be pumping energy into releasing the dopest, most incredible music to showcase the incredible talents we encounter!!
From small gigs & sunset sessions to EP releases & nature cinematics, we are ready to bring it!!

Our Record Label Launch has been postponed - but watch this space!!
We've replaced it with a Sunset Session featuring some amazing artists & an exquisite, bespoke menu!!
As a result we have had to reduce our capacity dramatically, but we would LOVE you to be there.
Please PM us if you're SURE you want to come and we'll reserve you a spot.
