What You Get When Confirming A Premiere With Us

01. Release Feature

https://NovaFuture.Blog
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.
 
Open example



02. Soundcloud

https://soundcloud.com/NovaFuture
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]".

03. Youtube

https://www.youtube.com/c/NovaFutureBlog/videos
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]".

04. Soundcloud Playlist

https://soundcloud.com/novafuture/sets/
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.

05. Premiere Post on Blog*

https://novafuture.blog/category/specials/streams/track-premieres/
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.

06. Instagram

https://www.instagram.com/NovaFuture.Blog
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).

07. Facebook

https://www.facebook.com/NovaFutureBlog
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).

08. Facebook Group "NovaFuture Blog Tracks"

https://www.facebook.com/groups/NovaFutureBlogTracks
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.

09. Twitter (or now known as X)

https://twitter.com/NovaFutureBlog
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).

10. Mastodon

12. On Our Tracks Website

https://www.novafuture-blog-tracks.com
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.

13. Threads

https://www.threads.net/@novafuture.blog
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.

14. "Your Premiere" Link

 
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.
 
no public links - this is for artist/label/agency only


 
 

 
 

What We Expect From You When We Run A Premiere

01. Correct Sharing

 
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.



02. Exclusivity

 
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).
 
 

PS: this page is still under construction but already tells you the main stuff. Let's discuss your questions & wishes.
