Volumo launches DJ Charts for everyone

Volumo is the artist-oriented electronic music store that’s been making waves in the industry since its launch early last year. With a democratic policy that aims to support emerging and lesser-known artists, Volumo has positioned itself as a ‘blue ocean’ in the music distribution industry, providing a platform for young talents to break through the dense competition found on Beatport and Traxsource.

In today’s global electronic scene, there are nearly 10 million music producers, many of whom are eager not only to create music but also to sell it. While only about a million of them are considered professional musicians, the sheer number of aspiring artists is staggering. This is where Volumo steps in, offering not just distribution services but also affordable promotional options right within its store.

Volumo’s approach combines the characteristics of a classic online music store with elements of a social network. Artists and labels can not only distribute their music but also interact with fans and build a dedicated following. The platform allows users to follow their favourite artists and labels and even adjust the price of a release — an option not available on other major platforms.

The latest addition to Volumo’s offerings is the DJ Charts feature. DJs and music enthusiasts can create their own personalised charts by registering on the site, curating a collection of their favourite records, and publishing it. They can then share the link to their chart on social media or within the Volumo store.

CEO Oleksandr Dzyubenko expresses his excitement about this new feature, emphasising that it aligns perfectly with Volumo’s curated store concept. While initially, the selection and recommendations were made manually by the team, they now have the support of numerous professional DJs to help curate the best releases. With more charts appearing on the site, exceptional releases that may have gone unnoticed elsewhere have a higher chance of finding their audience.

Volumo’s founders, Denys Borysov and Anton Severynenko, shed light on how the concept of a curated store fits hand in hand with the platform’s accessibility for young artists. Unlike larger stores, Volumo has the flexibility to focus on more than just the number of sales an artist generates. They believe that true talent can be overlooked if one relies solely on sales figures, and Volumo aims to give everyone a chance to shine.

Moreover, Volumo prides itself on its swift feedback and customer service, providing a more accessible platform for artists compared to other major stores. They recognise that getting onto Volumo is just the first step, and the real challenge lies in promoting one’s music within the store. However, Volumo’s curatorial work, algorithms and the introduction of DJ Charts ensure that only the best releases take the spotlight.

Volumo’s dedication to supporting emerging artists while offering a curated selection of leading music sets it apart in the digital music distribution landscape. With its innovative features and commitment to empowering artists, Volumo continues to stake its position as a pioneering force in the electronic music industry. As the platform evolves and gains further recognition, it’s undoubtedly becoming a vital player in the world of electronic music. Check out Volumo here.
