ECP Music Group Launches as first Indie with World Wide Distribution

April 13, 2010 — E.C.P Music Group has launched as one, if not the only, Independent Music Company with Worldwide distribution. The first release coming on the newly found label is The Purple Aces Tapes, a compilation of music put together by Universal Recording Artist, Michael Barber, and Award Winning DJ, DJ Fade.

The Music Group launched by Barber, DJ Fade, and numerous people behind the scenes that Barber describes as “Free Thinkers,” has sealed distribution with Best Buy, iTunes, Amazon, Walmart, as well as Rhapsody, Napster, and 22 other online streaming sites. The real key behind the launch of the E.C.P might be the worldwide distribution, and the fact that they are ready with distribution in 13 Countries in some very interesting places. From Australia to four countries in Europe, to Japan, and back to Canada.

A major success factor in the distribution structure is the point of sale, from Coffee and Head Shops to SuperMarkets, ECP has decided against using a standard, register with Soundscan, type of distribution.

“Is it about releasing a product that people actually get to listen to, or about numbers on a manipulated system?” Barber said in an interview with One on One Fashion Magazine.

The company is also working on the development of a new distribution gadget that is similar to the iPod but with Bluetooth and later generation wireless technology. Release of the unnamed device which is just beyond the blueprint and patent phases, is set for Christmas 2010. The details are limited, but LA Fitness will play a role.
