This is the main item. It will contain the artwork of the release at the article top, an artist picture at the bottom, all information, some selected order links for each format, Soundcloud streaming of premieres (no matter on which platform they are published), embedded snippets (til all tracks in full are available on SC; snippets can be on SC or any shop), a mix of the artist as special, links to artist and label pages.

The upload includes a short description w/ artist name, track name, release name and label plus the link to the feature. Artist & label will get a SC tag. Additionally, your bandcamp link will be in this description. The "buy link" will point to our feature using a short cut and get the title "Info & Buy". The title of the upload itself has always the format "Artist - Track [cat# | Premiere]".

Similar to Soundcloud the upload will have a short description w/ artist name, track name, release name and label plus feature link. Artist & label will get one link to their website/social media. The Soundcloud upload will be mentioned and also your our bandcamp link. The title of the track itself has always the format "Artist - Track [cat# | label | Premiere]".

When all tracks of the release are available on Soundcloud (e.g. on other premiere platforms, artist or label profile), we will create a playlist of them to embed it in our feature and make it public when it fits in our timeline. This will give your release an extra push - and also support the other platforms (perhaps we are one of the few who do this). The playlist will have a similar description like the SC track.

On the blog there will be an extra post presenting the premiere. Artwork and artist picture framing some information and the streaming of the track. For sure we also link again to the websites of the artist and the label.

For sure we also have an instagram page (at least we have to ...). Premieres are presented asap. That means we do a regular post there, not on the day of the premiere but later when it fits. The post is based on the squared image we provide with our overview page and for sure includes a link to our feature. We will tag the artist and the label (and also the remixer if there is one).

Still one of our main thing is Facebook. Each premiere has his own posting there on time with all the other assets - sometimes telling more about the release e.g. other involved artists (like on a compilation or remixers). We will tag the artist and the label (and also the remixer if there is one).

From time to time we post tracks we like in our own Facebook group "NovaFuture Blog Tracks". The content here also includes premieres from other platforms, official streams, videos etc. of releases that we didn't premiere. But for sure the focus is to present stuff from our channels once more because the reach of pages is limited so this is another chance to catch the attention of the people. The post text is simply the name of artist, track and label accompanied by the feature link.

At the moment Twitter aka X is not in our focus but we want to be more active here. The tweets don't have a fixed pattern yet but will contain a link to the release feature and some streaming (e.g. our Soundcloud upload).

Mastodon ... Something we just started - as alternative for Facebook, Twitter & Co. Let's find out how it will spread the news :)

We also run the website www.novafuture-premieres.com where we list all our premieres incl. a search functionality.

Beside the website with premieres we did, we also have a website with tracks we like similar to our Facebook Group "NovaFuture Blog Tracks" (wherever they are uploaded). The tracks can be filtered by the first letter of the artist name and provide Soundcloud & youtube player (more to come). This page is still under improvement but check it out.

We just joined Meta's social network Threads (which is easy to register via the Instagram account). We will post there similar stuff like we do on Facebook & Twitter.

Youtube started also some kind of social media channel which is called "Community" and can be found on the tab "Posts". We are now taking part and are interested what the users think.

Some premieres get an extra push - we added them to one of our monthly "Random Playlist" feature. This one with a Soundcloud playlist is published at the end of each month. The playlist has 10 full-length tracks that are used in our release features (yes we also feature releases when we don't have a premiere).

For each premiere we provide a link that sums up all the stuff above. It will be updated as soon as a new item is available (e.g. the Instagram link). So you can always check the several assets that we have created for your premiere. At the moment we work on a subscription for your premieres so you will get informed when there is a new link related to your release/this premiere is available.

Premieres are always based on a release feature that will be online before the premiere itself. Each of our feature is a recommendation to our visitors, so we need a full promo pack to check out your release.

A complete promo pack contains the artwork in hires, a release info sheet (.txt, .pdf), all tracks as wav files, the label logo, artist pictures (if available).

We cannot recommend a release on the base of only one track, so we want to listen to entire release before making a decision.

For sure we don't upload any audio without your permission - we will discuss with you what we can do regarding a premiere.

This pack has to be downloadable easily as zip file or delivered via services like dropbox, wetransfer, google drive ...
Please check this - download NOVAF001V example.

When we agree on doing a premiere, please get in contact with your distributor to whitelist our Soundcloud channel.

Please also let us know the ISRC of the track and the UPC of the digital product. We will save these data and perhaps it will be possible that you can monetize our streams. (at the moment there is a bug and we won't add it to Soundcloud item but we will keep it in our database so we can update later.)

The premiere post on our blog (see menu item 05, *) should not be shared via facebook/twitter etc because it is actually for website visitors & newsletter subscribers and has the least added value (always mentioned for your information).

For Facebook we recommend that you share link 2 or 3. Directly sharing our facebook post is also a nice option.

On Instagram it would be nice that you make a normal (fixed) post and not only a story which disappears after 24h.

Please tag/mark us with the blog account e.g. @NovaFutureBlog on Facebook (https://facebook.com/NovaFutureBlog), @NovaFuture.Blog on Instagram (https://instagram.com/NovaFuture.Blog), @NovaFuture.Blog on Mastodon (https://mastodon.social/@NovaFutureBlog), @NovaFutureBlog on Twitter (https://twitter.com/NovaFutureBlog) and @NovaFuture on Soundcloud (https://soundcloud.com/NovaFuture).

Please don't forget to repost the track itself(!) on Soundcloud in the next few days. It is not necessary to do it on the premiere day but should be done as soon as possible. The premiere date is mostly calculated to get the best effort for all involved parties.

Creating a soundcloud playlist is always a nice thing you can do later. We actually suggest to wait with creating a playlist after all your premieres / tracks are online to receive the most promotion effect. So you have more great entries/notifications pushed into the feeds of your followers (the amount of tracks plus 1 for the full playlist). Your visitors can like and share these items - a playlist with only one, two tracks right after the first premieres won't be reposted, but it has all tracks there is a good chance. We will also create a playlist when all tracks are available (sometimes it takes a while) to give your release an extra promo push - this also supports all other channels which have a premiere done for your release.

The premiere track should be exclusive. The minimum is that it won't be available anywhere else until the entire release is out (the premiere date was calculated with this assumption). So please don't release the track eg. on Bandcamp (as a part of a pre-order for example) ahead the release date !!! After the release it will be for sure on several digital platforms, but it would be great if it could be also exclusive on Soundcloud afterwards (we know in same cases this is not possible e.g. when it is delivered to SC via common distribution).
