Well

Well, what I liked about it is the ease of dealing with the graphical interface. Speed ​​in reviewing music and many features that I do not think can be summarized in a comment

Releases are managed well

Releases are managed well. I just wish they reply fast when I need assistance, but I guess it's understandable since it's a new company.

Very impressed.

I’ve moved over to Anti-Joy from DistroKid and CDBaby after reading multiple reviews from message boards online. The thing that sold me was the lack of bogus fees but getting immediate and multiple responses to my e-mails was a huge plus. The speed of my 12 track cover album being released into stores was another! Less than one week! I’m incredibly impressed and will be telling ALL of my colleagues about Anti-Joy.

For these few weeks I've been working…

For these few weeks I've been working with Anti-Joy i would like to thank you for being so nice and responsible for my music it's like Anti -Joy is a good partner to collaborate with an artist both hustling to reach the artist dreams at the top it's great so far but what i didn't like is that we don't distribute our music on Facebook and Instagram.

Anti-Joy is the best free distributor. They are basically DistroKid but for free. They also do not charge for stores like Shazam like DistroKid does. Only issue I have is their lack of Instagram and Facebook. Otherwise, really good!

Best distributor for cover songs

I make lot of cover song, and antijoy has been very helpful. They let me distribute my cover song without having to pay. Free cover song distribution is the future!! I love to see business grow.

Really love it

Really love it! It has an unique freedom to it that not many other distributors have. Genuinely easy to use and it has a really good helping center. Only problem is - i've tried releasing 2 songs.
One of them took less than a week to get released, one of them is in the "being delivered" state for 2 weeks.
Not really a nuisance, i can wait patiently, just wanted to know if something is up.

Hi there.

Thank you for the review. I've let our team know about the release, and they'll look into why it isn't live yet.

You can also contact our customer support at support@antijoy.club to resolve it directly with them.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Easy to use. Decent enough support.

Uploading has been made very easy and the interface is all very well layed out. The single we release came out on time and I haven no complaints. Getting a response from support can take days, but you do always get one.

If your serious about your music avoid

Setup an account with these guys to kick start a new venture (music label) selecting one of the premium packages.

Were do I start...

Advertised tha they deliver to beatport.. this was a massive song and dance, service doesn't deliver direct tracks have to be uploaded and a message sent to team to distribute there.

A number of these beatport releases never made it to the platform.

Customer support is shocking, team members go missing for days at a time, The music industry is 24/7 if you want weekends off employ more staff.

On closer inspection and after joining another distribution service I discovered that Anti-joy itself doesn't distribute your music they are a middle man that funnels your music TO a distributor named the state51 (basically charging for a service you could do yourself).

Very limited choice of genres when submitting tracks.

Doesn't cater for electronic music (though the claim to)

Give miss information with regards to genre selection on beatport (beatport have final say but do not dictate and genres can be suggested)

The setup strikes me as a software engineer who had an idea that would make him a quick buck.

Amateur organisation ran by teenagers.

If your serious about your music avoid these jokers.

Royalty Payouts do not work.

Antijoy meets most of the basic requirements for a functioning music distribution service. Their support is fantastic, releasing music is easy and quick, the website is intuitive etc. Despite this, there is one major issue that would prevent me from recommending Anti-Joy to anyone else. As many other reviews say, you cannot withdraw your royalties yourself. I have been using Antijoy for almost a year now, and this issue has been occurring for as long as I can remember. The website constantly brings up an error when trying to process the withdrawal of royalties. I have brought up this issue to support many times over the past few months, always being told that it will be fixed. Granted it was maybe fixed once or twice, but after a few days, the withdrawal option stopped working again. It is IMPOSSIBLE to receive your royalties in a timely manner, which is probably the most important thing for independent musicians.

Edit: Changed review to one star as support haven't replied in a month even after follow up mails. DO NOT USE ANTI-JOY!

Not every distribution deliver like…

Not every distribution deliver like AntiJoy. Free presave, smartlink, deliver fast, commucate with artists via email or via app. They grow more powerful and attracting because you know someone is there to hear and help very quick. The service are professional, they are easy ways to fill up the information on the song and get done! I only wish they fix the Instagram/ Facebook issues and help by adding audiomack that will give them more power as lots of independent artists have thousands of followers but pay high price from other distributions to get thier music out there. This will also help I believe. Antijoy for me is the best. They lots we'd like to see, like pitching on playlists from different channels with affordable prices but with this service it's possible we soon see that.
