Clandestine Label Services — boutique press, radio, distribution, manufacturing, fulfillment, licensing and label management for a select group of labels and artists. What we do PR — Campaigns built on relationships with writers and editors. We tell you honestly whether a record has a press story before we take it on. Radio — College, community and specialty radio. Weekly adds, tracked and reported, with a realistic picture of where a record can chart. Manufacturing — Vinyl, cassette, CD and merch. Quoted plainly, plants chosen for the record rather than the margin, and timelines we actually watch. Distro — Physical into record stores worldwide and digital to every streaming service, with the sales data coming back to you in one place. Direct to Fan Fulfillment — Your inventory in our warehouse. Bandcamp and webstore orders picked and shipped the day they land, and boxes drop-shipped to meet you on tour. Label & Project Management — One person holding the whole calendar — schedule, budgets, royalties, the daily decisions — for a single record or the whole label. Slips reach you in time to act on them. Licensing — Sync placement for film, television, advertising, trailers and games, and performance syncs for dance and theater. The team You work with these people directly — there is no account manager forwarding your email to someone else.
