Mixcloud launched Mixcloud SELECT to support creators 

Now is an extremely difficult time for the whole planet and we need to support each other more.

A few days ago we received a letter from Mixcloud, which we cannot but share.

Their aim is simple: to support creators, DJ and producers you like.

"You have probably received a dozen or more emails about the developing coronavirus situation. This is a crisis on a global scale, and it is hitting many of those of us who live, love and work in music extremely hard.

For many artists, DJs, nightclubs and festivals, live events are often the majority of their income, if not the entirety. As we enter a new reality where events are cancelled for a significant period of time, the creative community and many of the institutions we love face an extremely challenging financial future.

We have spent the last week consulting with our partners, friends and creative community around the world. It is clear that there are no silver bullets, but now more than ever we need to support creators.

We launched Mixcloud SELECT [ https://www.mixcloud.com/select/ ] last year as a way for people to support creators they love. The goal is simple: to help creators find new sustainable economic models, and to help fans to get closer to creators.

Today we are immediately waiving our SELECT revenue share for the next 3 calendar months, giving SELECT channel creators 100% of the income after the underlying artists and songwriters played in their shows have been paid.
