New platform offers unlimited releases, 85% royalty retention and Beatport distribution through SongDistro Direct
Greece — 24th August, 2026 — SongDistro, the growing DIY music distribution service owned by Falcos Panagiotis, today announced the launch of its free music distribution model, designed to help independent artists release their music worldwide without upfront or per-release fees.
Through SongDistro’s free revenue-share plan, artists can distribute unlimited releases for unlimited artists while keeping 85% of received royalties. The service delivers music to Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube, Tidal and other major digital music platforms worldwide.
SongDistro is also introducing a quality-controlled distribution approach. The company says it will not accept AI-generated tracks or low-quality music, with the goal of supporting a more professional and carefully curated music catalog.
“Our goal is to give independent artists access to professional music distribution without creating unnecessary financial barriers,” said Falcos Panagiotis, owner of SongDistro. “At the same time, we want to protect the quality of the music being released and create a platform that artists, listeners and industry professionals can trust.”
SongDistro Direct brings Beatport distribution to electronic artists
As part of its launch, SongDistro is introducing SongDistro Direct, a new label and distribution channel focused on electronic music.
Through SongDistro Direct, eligible electronic music artists can access distribution to Beatport, one of the world’s leading platforms for DJs, producers and dance music fans. The initiative is designed to support artists working across genres including house, techno, trance, drum & bass, progressive, EDM and other electronic styles.
Beatport access gives SongDistro a distinctive position in the competitive DIY distribution market, where artists are increasingly looking for services that understand the needs of electronic music producers and independent dance labels.

A new option in the free distribution market
SongDistro enters a growing market that includes free and commission-based distributors such as RouteNote, FreshTunes, Indiefy and other independent music services.
While many distributors compete through upload volume, subscription plans or royalty percentages, SongDistro is building its identity around three key priorities:
- Accessible distribution with no upfront or per-release fees
- Quality-controlled submissions focused on original, professional music
- Electronic music support through Beatport distribution via SongDistro Direct
Artists retain 85% of received royalties under the free plan, while SongDistro retains 15% as its distribution commission. This model allows artists to begin releasing music without paying an annual subscription or a separate fee for each single or album.
Supporting the next generation of independent artists
The launch reflects SongDistro’s broader ambition to become a reliable distribution partner for independent musicians and emerging labels.
By combining global streaming distribution, Beatport access, royalty splits, YouTube Content ID and promotional tools such as smart links, SongDistro aims to provide artists with the essential infrastructure needed to release and promote music independently.
Artists interested in distributing their music through SongDistro can learn more and submit releases through the company’s official website.
