There is a lot of great material to help label owners really take this business serious, thanks for the Info, I have already learned a lot from reading it!!
- Corey Bramwell, Label Manager, Substruk Records

I just wanted to take a moment to thank you and SymDirect for helping us out. I've been a musician all my life and knew someday a good opportunity would come my way if I worked hard and showed my own dedication. The material and help that Symphonic offers ..... nobody can beat. My company sets its standards and ethics in the same way you do. I honestly didn't think that a company like yours would even exist. Personally, it's so damn hard for the big labels to take the time to hear some really good artists. In the last year I've developed good relations with a lot of untouched talent that is quality. My partner and I have made the choice of being exclusive to SymDirect. We know we are in good hands. Quality is the standard, not quantity. Honestly, from what I've read so far .... there is no reason you cannot succeed with the tools Symphonic provides.
- Jason LaFace, Label Manager, Omerta Records

Much has changed in dance music in the last several years, both musical tastes and formats alike. The Funk Lab has undergone changes as well. As the sole member of the Funk Lab now I have decided to discontinue releasing vinyl as the primary outlet for Funk Lab releases. The SymDirect team was instrumental in helping me adapt the Funk Lab brand to the digital marketplace. Being strictly digital now has given me the freedom to release newer music that would have never seen the light of day on vinyl as well as re-release some of the older, out of print material. Thanks Symphonic!

You guys are doing an awesome job. We've recommended at least 2 of your newer clients.
- Lucas Martin, Label Manager, IQ Sounds

I really find it fantastic the attitude you have at Symphonic. Its very hard to find such a tight bond with distributors, and am very pleased as to how you are constantly approaching us labels to try help our improvements.
- Alex Ward, Managing Director, Dektek Records

I think you guys have given us all of the tools we need, great job!
