HOW IT WORKS

FROM RELEASE to listener.

  1. 01

    TELL US ABOUT THE PROJECT

    Start with the record: the music, the format, the quantity and where you want it to go. A short application is all it takes to open the conversation.

  2. 02

    BUILD THE RELEASE STRATEGY

    We map a plan around your release — timing, channels and the collectors it is meant for — keeping the artist's vision at the centre.

  3. 03

    CONNECT WITH STORES

    Your record is introduced to independent shops and buyers through COTA's distribution network.

  4. 04

    FULFILL ORDERS

    Stock is stored, picked, packed and shipped, so orders move without the artist or label handling every parcel.

  5. 05

    REACH COLLECTORS

    From store shelves to the COTA Record Store, the release finds the people who want it on wax.
