About Me

we believe in transpatial networks, or building unity across time and space to help quality artists and musicians reach their audiences. too often current modes of distribution or connection are top heavy, and therefore sluggish and slow to adapt to change.
with research, experience, and a lot of passion, the union strives to think outside the box and be ahead of the curve.
we understand the importance of promotion, critical mass, guerilla marketing, and realistic goals.
based in portland, oregon, currently a forerunner of indie music and culture and mecca to 25-35 year olds, the union combines a variety of skills including legal, artistic, financial, promotion, marketing, and old fashion hand shaking. the union is also actively working to develop the Stealth Alliance, which unites likeminded individuals across the globe---labels, venues, bands and fans. we don't just want a revolution, we want an evolution.
What does an evolution mean? Cutting out the middle man, combining forces, and constantly evolving. Because revolving just makes you go round and round like a spinning wheel.
How are we different? Synthesis, ingenuity, and a cooperative attitude. We embrace an honest approach meaning you know 1). exactly who we are (no more nameless, faceless peops behind a brand) 2). you know exactly where your dollars go
we're not just a label, we're a lifestyle.
