Distro Supawave – Laravel Music Distribution Platform

Distro Supawave is a self-hosted Laravel music distribution management platform that helps entrepreneurs launch their own branded music distribution service, record label platform or artist and label management business.

Artists and labels can upload singles, EPs and albums, manage release metadata, submit music for approval, track earnings and request withdrawals. Administrators can manage releases, users, subscriptions, payments, royalties and payouts from a centralized dashboard.

Artist and Label Management

Artists receive dedicated dashboards for uploading releases, managing tracks, adding credits and monitoring earnings. Labels can manage multiple artists, submit releases on their behalf and view catalogue-wide analytics.

Release Review and Export

Administrators can review, approve, reject or edit submitted releases. Approved releases can be exported as packages containing audio files, cover artwork and metadata in JSON, CSV and PDF formats.

Royalty Management

Import royalty reports through CSV files, process earnings, credit artist wallets, manage withdrawal requests and generate monthly royalty reports.

Payments and Subscriptions

Create subscription plans for artists and labels, configure commissions and accept payments through supported payment gateways, including PayPal, Paystack, CoinPayments, NowPayments, MoneyUnify and manual payments.

Copyright Scanning

The platform integrates ACRCloud audio fingerprinting to scan uploaded music masters and flag potential copyright matches, subject to the provider's service and usage limits.

White-Label Platform

Customize your brand, domain, homepage, legal pages, payment settings and business configuration. The complete Laravel source code is included, allowing developers to customize and extend the application.

Important Distribution Information

Distro Supawave does not currently deliver music directly to Spotify, Apple Music or other digital service providers through a built-in distribution API.

Instead, it prepares approved releases for submission through an external music distributor or aggregator. Royalty reports from external providers can then be imported into the platform.

Music-distribution API access, distributor agreements, third-party accounts, hosting and external service fees are not included with the source-code purchase.
