About Me

Brooklyn, NY -- ROPEADOPE, the trend-setting independent record label, clothing company, Internet destination and all around lifestyle-defining endeavor, will launch a digital download exclusive label imprint, Ropeadope Digital, in February 2007. It will make its debut with releases from seven artists, including Aunt Jessica, DJ Klock, Electric City, The Frequency, Skip Heller, Larval and Reminder, offering full length albums exclusively via download at Ropeadope and all other major digital music retailers. This will mark the beginning of an ongoing series of Ropeadope Digital releases throughout 2007 and, in the process, establish the way Ropeadope presents new music and artists in the future. In addition, all of Ropeadope Digital's artists will maintain ownership of their masters. Ropeadope will license only the digital rights for its releases. Royalties will be based on a complete profit share basis between the label and its artists.
"I haven't been this excited about anything in the music industry for years," says Ropeadope founder Andy Hurwitz. "While we will continue to release records, we are completely shifting our priorities by making Ropeadope Digital our focus. We have over 25 digital releases lined up for next year."
True to Ropeadope's rich history with artists like Christian McBride, Sex Mob, King Britt, Philadelphia Experiment, DJ Logic and Tin Hat, the releases on tap to launch Ropeadope Digital will represent a diverse spectrum of genre-bending sounds and styles, bridging together old school jazz, hip-hop, electronica, prog rock, soul and just about every other style imaginable, while running the gamut from well-established artists to debut releases by new names who are well on their way to becoming marquee artists.
With 25 new releases on Ropeadope Digital planned for 2007, Ropeadope is poised to maintain its street credibility as a key tastemaker always ahead of the curve in the music industry. Plans are already in the works for a Ropeadope Digital tour along with complete promotional campaigns for each artist in the series. The focus for the year will be to establish the new imprint, while continuing to grow its brand identity through the already existing Ropeadope music catalog, its various clothing lines and ever-expanding Ropeadope .com web presence.
