Fanburst is a new platform whose mission it is to build the most artist friendly music sharing platform available. The key word is FREE. The founders of Fanburst, based in Australia and the US, believe that artists have the right to create, upload, and share music at no costs and that there should be no barriers to entry for the next great artist. There are currently tens of thousands of artists on the platform and it's growing super quick. Fanburst is a great place to catch new fans for emerging and established artists. Check out a few of the artists who have profiles below:
Bonobo: https://fanburst.com/bonobo
ODESZA: https://fanburst.com/odesza
XYLO: https://fanburst.com/xylo

FEATURES:
Fanburst has a bunch of features rolling out, including their Creators Program, which will help artists make money selling merch and concert tix, while growing their fanbase and enabling them to make a living from their music. If you are interested in participating in this partner program, send an email to team@fanburst.com and they will let you know when it is ready to go.
Fanburst also has an amazing mixtape/album tool and incredible analytics that is by far the best way to host, upload, and release a mixtape. You simply upload your tracks, Fanburst will .zip it up for you, and it's honestly seamless. They hated the fact that artists use MediaFire, Dropbox, and Hulkshare to create zips, so they made it easier.

We personally use Fanburst for our Dope Digital music label artists (Don Neil and Marc Anthony Figueras) and we highly recommend it to artists and labels who are serious about sharing their music for FREE on an easy to use platform and growing their fanbase. We also recommend it to music fans who are on the lookout for the next great thing!

TapTape is a new funding and marketing platform that lets fans invest in their favorite artists. We’re a highly-curated service, designed for labels and artists who may already have traction or an established following, but are looking to raise money, build awareness, and/or energize a strong fanbase.
Unlike traditional crowdfunding, TapTape lets supporters share a piece of the upside of a project--meaning artists never have to ask their fans for a handout, and can focus their time on music instead of giveaways/prizes.
We’re founded by musicians who are deeply involved in the artist community, including having organized the MIT Artist Speaker Series (featuring Killer Mike, Young Guru, etc). We’re backed by people like Lyor Cohen, and are currently working with artists signed to labels such as RCA and Kompakt.

TapTape is a funding and marketing platform that lets fans invest in their favorite artists, and benefit from their support. Quality artists are provided with a risk-free source of capital and a close connection to their most loyal advocates. Trendsetter fans are rewarded for identifying, financing, and supporting talent.
Unlike traditional crowdfunding, TapTape is a curated platform, designed for labels and artists who may already have traction or an established following, but are looking to build awareness and/or energize a strong fanbase. Rather than forcing artists to ask their fans for a handout, TapTape provides a way to let fans share in the success of a project.
How it works:
The artist, management, and/or label all work together with TapTape to agree on campaign specifics.
The messaging of the campaign is distinct from traditional crowdfunding. Rather than asking for help, the artist is giving their followers an opportunity to get involved and share their success.
Fans choose an amount to invest, with various tiers offering easily-scalable bonus rewards (e.g. early download, stems, etc.) to be fulfilled when the campaign is successful.
When the campaign hits its goal, payments are processed and the money is transferred to the appropriate stakeholders (artists, management, and/or labels).
At this point, fans get real-time data to track their artists’ success (social stats, plays, likes, etc.). Artists, management, and labels get valuable data and a direct connection to these superfans.
Over time, fans are paid back a share of profits in TapCoins, which they are incentivized to re-invest in artist campaigns or merchandise. Fans can also cash out for gift cards (e.g. Amazon)..
Neither TapTape nor the fans ever claim ownership to any of the underlying rights. Each deal is customized and can easily be adjusted to fit the artist’s existing contract. Raise amounts, percentage splits, and term limits are all negotiable.

Clowdy: Connecting the World's Creatives
Clowdy is an online media sharing platform that allows the sharing of film, music, and photographs, all in the same place. The platform has no upload limits and removes the common restriction of allowing only one media type by encouraging quality creative content.

Clowdy is basically Linkedin for creative people whose resume may be their tracklist on Soundcloud or their pictures on Tumblr. Clowdy fosters collaborations and is a network built on recognizing creatives as well as giving credit to their colleagues. For the many artists featured on DOPECAUSEWESAID and any creative person, for that matter, Clowdy gives you the opportunity to set up a profile, connect with other creatives, whether they be fellow artists, producers, songwriters, directors, or photographers, showcase your work, and prospectively collaborate on new projects with the people you meet.
We strongly encourage you to check out Clowdy and sign up for this great platform; we at DOPECAUSEWESAID have set up our profile and are looking forward to connecting with other music lovers such as ourselves.
