Droplift
Your drop, on someone’s heaviest set
Droplift is a workout app built around one moment: the lifter taps READY, a build runs, and a drop lands as they start moving. That drop is somebody’s track. We’d like it to be yours.
The deal
| Non-exclusive, always | You keep every other right and every other income stream — Spotify, YouTube, sync, sales, all of it. We license the right to play your track inside Droplift, and to cut and loop it there so it fits a set. Nothing else. |
|---|---|
| Paid from a revenue pool | A fixed share of net subscription revenue goes into a pool, split between artists by how many seconds of your music actually played. Small deliberate catalogue — a play here is worth more than a stream |
| Quarterly, no threshold | Whatever you’ve earned is paid every quarter, in full. No “we’ll pay out once you cross a threshold”, no balance sitting on our books until it’s worth our while. |
| Credited, with a link out | Your name is on screen every time your track plays, tappable through to your Spotify, SoundCloud or Bandcamp. In the contract, not just the roadmap |
| Your own stats page | Self-serve: what played, how much, what you’re owed. You shouldn’t have to email anyone to find out how you’re doing. |
| A buyout option | If a track becomes central to the app, there’s a pre-agreed price at which we can buy it outright — agreed up front so it can’t be negotiated against you later. |
| What we need | The master, and stems if you have them: drums, bass, lead, atmosphere. Stems let the app layer a build rather than fade one track into another, and tracks that have them get used more. |
| What you warrant | That the track is your own work, with no uncleared samples. This matters more in phonk than anywhere else, and we’d rather turn a track down than get it wrong. |
Structure, more than genre
The app needs a track with somewhere to go. Four things make one work, and none of them is about how hard it goes.
-
A quiet section that loops
It plays while someone rests, potentially for minutes at a time. Atmospheric, not empty.
-
A real build
A continuous swell into the drop rather than a hard cut. This is the fifteen seconds in which someone gets under a loaded bar.
-
A drop with length to it
A working set can run 45 seconds or more. A four-bar drop can’t carry one.
-
An outro
Your own wind-down beats anything we can synthesise, and it’s what the come-down after a heavy set sounds like.
Steady tempo helps too. We mix on the bar line and chain tracks within a tempo band, so anything that drifts is hard to place.
Send it over
Link us to something you’ve made — SoundCloud, Bandcamp, Drive, anything we can play. We listen to everything and reply either way, including the no’s. If it’s a fit we’ll send the one-page agreement, which takes about five minutes to read.
