Since launching its ‘Bandcamp Friday’ initiative in 2020, the d2c platform has reportedly generated $123 million for artists in that time. The program, which sees Bandcamp waive its share of revenues from artists’ sales, is set to celebrate its 40th edition on May 3rd.
Having already streamlined the process of sourcing samples for both indie artists and superstars like Drake and Kendrick Lamar, music sampling platform Tracklib has announced a new feature.

The John Lennon estate and the Lumenate app have teamed up on a series of mediation mixes created from Lennon’s 1973 track “Mind Games.” The mix is meant to help listeners “reach a relaxed, meditative state, and help guide your mind to a deeper state of consciousness.”
