A label needs more than an upload button. It needs its catalogue to move without losing a single code, statements it can hand to its own artists, and a person who answers in its language. This page sets out what Mazufa does for labels, what we ask of you, and how onboarding works.
What we do for labels
Every label, whatever its size, gets the same set of services and the same written agreement. There is no upload fee, no subscription, no per-release fee; the revenue share is set out in your written agreement.
- Catalogue transfer that keeps every existing ISRC and UPC, so streams, playlists and profiles stay attached to the same recordings
- Bulk delivery of new and back-catalogue releases from one spreadsheet and one folder of audio and artwork
- A per-release evidence record: what was delivered, to which stores, when, and the store confirmations
- Monthly statements per label, with a per-release and per-artist breakdown you can forward to your own artists
- Human support in Arabic and English, by email, from a named person
- Visibility of YouTube claims on your recordings, including which channel was claimed and what happened next
- Rights documentation kept with each release, so a dispute can be answered from the file
Moving a catalogue without losing its history
A transfer is a re-delivery of the same recordings with the same identifiers. We take your existing ISRC and UPC list, check it against the audio and the artwork, and deliver each release with its original release date and codes. Stores then match our delivery to the recording they already have instead of creating a second copy.
Timing matters. The takedown at your current distributor and our delivery are planned together so that a release is not missing from stores for longer than necessary. You decide the order: the whole catalogue at once, or the active releases first and the rest in batches.
Statements, evidence and claims
Each month you receive one statement for the label and a breakdown you can split by artist. The numbers tie back to store reports, and where a store reports late, the statement says so rather than hiding the gap.
Every release keeps an evidence record: delivery receipts, store confirmations, the metadata as delivered and any later change. When a YouTube claim is placed on one of your recordings, you can see it, read which channel was claimed, and ask us to release, keep or dispute it. Nothing is decided on your catalogue without a written reason.
What a label must provide
We can only deliver what we can document. Before a transfer or a first release we ask for the following, and we tell you in writing if anything is missing.
- Proof that the label controls the recordings: signed artist or licence agreements, or a written confirmation of ownership
- Split sheets or writer credits for each recording, with the names in one fixed spelling
- The existing ISRC and UPC list, and the original release dates
- Lossless audio, artwork at store resolution and complete metadata, in one folder per release
- Existing store profile identifiers for each artist, so new music lands on the right profile
- The name and the notice period of your current distributor, if you have one
How onboarding works
Onboarding has four steps, in this order: apply, verification, written agreement, transfer. You apply with the form on this page. A person reads the application and replies by email with any questions. Verification covers the label's registration, who signs for it and a sample of the rights documents.
The written agreement follows, with the revenue share, the payment cycle and the exit terms set out in full before you commit. Only then does the transfer start. If you leave later, the catalogue, its data and its reports are exported to you in full.
Questions
Does a label with ten releases qualify?
Yes. The size of the catalogue changes the length of the transfer, not the services or the agreement. A small label gets the same statements and the same named person.
Will our streams and playlists survive the move?
When every release is delivered with its original ISRC, UPC and release date, stores treat it as the same recording and keep its history. Where a store behaves differently, we tell you before the transfer.
Can we keep some releases with our current distributor?
Yes. You list which releases move and which stay. We deliver only what you assign to us, and the statement covers only those.
