Our distribution offers the broadest possible spectrum and reach for digital music stores and services. In the organisation of our distribution activities, we are characterised by individual flexibility based on the needs and expectations of our partners.

We see ourselves as the partner of the labels, speak their language, develop (release) strategies for improving reach and visibility and help to create decisive spaces for creative output.

This is implemented with a team that is constantly in tune with the times and has excelled both creatively and administratively in the music and sales industries with years of experience.

The individual desires and expectations of the labels and their releases enjoy our highest priority. Topics such as international tax matters, transparent and reliable accounting as well as many other consulting activities naturally also form part of our portfolio

Our Services

We offer a variety of services and would be happy to prepare an individual offer!

We offer 3 different distribution modules

Whichever model, HS Consulting & Distribution GmbH is a boutique aggregator for indie labels with the focus on electronic music.
With our values we stand against the trends of so-called autouploaders.
Our technical infrastructure is built on our own systems, which are linked to various interfaces.

BASIC

In the Basic module, we take care of reliable dispatch to all available shops and services.
All data on the releases are collected by us, verified in a quality check and given UPC and ISRC codes. After the release date, the publications are randomly checked for correctness in the shops/services

ADVANCE

In the Advance module, we provide administration assistance to labels. Here we offer support with artist contracts, promotion tools, in-store marketing, etc. as part of the workflow.

PREMIUM

Our Premium module includes a personal label manager as a direct contact person.
In this module, we see ourselves as a partner for a label on the road to achieving new goals or shaping existing structures more effectively.
We support our labels as a 100% reliable back office or, if required, as an input for creative topics.
In this form we keep creative cells free from administrative topics so that more time can be used for creative processes.

Consulting

The team behind HS Consulting & Distribution GmbH consists of activists in the music industry with years of experience.
We know what we are doing in front of and behind the stage-whether creatively or administratively, we provide a package of competencies that are offered in various areas of our partners. Topics such as publishing, legal questions (copyright, etc.), neighbouring rights, 3rd-party licensing both internally and externally with our global network of partners, are part of our daily business

Accounting

A core element of our services is payments to our partners and, where required, to their artists etc.
Invoicing and payments are made reliably and transparently on a half-yearly or quarterly basis.
We take on the complete accounting entries, payments, international tax matters and other contributions that belong to proper bookkeeping

Housesession Recovery (in-house 3rd-party licensing)

With our independent in-house business area “Housesession Recovery” we offer labels an interesting additional income using an innovative 3rd-party licensing business.

In this concept, with sensible re-releases tailored to target groups, reach, visibility and, as a result, also income are increased. There is no question that this form of catalogue utilisation is an important component these days.

Over 10 years of experience in this area with leading labels in the world of electronic music confirm this concept

Markus Hägele

CEO, Founder

For 20 years, Markus Hägele has been an activist in the international electronic music scene.
As part of the DJ & producer
duo Tune Brothers, and as founder and CEO of Housesession GmbH, the music
business is his daily business.
With the founding of Housesession Records in 2000, he gained his first experience with vinyl and CD in the music
market.
Various distribution contrac
ts and distribution partners accompanied him from a physical product to a smooth
transition into the world of digital media and distribution structures.
As a label operator he was on the customer side with distributors for years and gained a range of exper
ience
here. These experiences formed the basis for building his own distribution structures and cooperations that, after
the launch of further own labels, simply represented a meaningful consequence. The development of an
independent digital platform for h
andling the distribution and management of labels quickly enthused friends who
owned labels, who from then on turned to the expertise of the team at HS Consulting & Distribution GmbH

Jochen Pash

CEO, Founder

Jochen Pash (real name Jochen Lämmle) of Stuttgart has been a fixture in the electronic club culture of this regional metropolis and active and solidly rooted in the international electronic music scene as DJ and producer since the 1990s.

As a qualified businessman for visual media, his path led him via Stuttgart’s scene record shop, Import Records, directly into the distribution industry. As an account manager for vinyl & CD, he was in tune with the times in distribution and he also experienced the decisive switch to the digital age at first hand from the distribution side.

In 2010 he founded his own company and joined the globally active dance company Housesession shortly after as CEO. In the meantime he can turn to over 20 years of business experience in the areas of label, distribution and content management and constantly has the development of electronic music
including their roots deeply in view.
