We've been lucky to work with more than 100 artists at Coop Records.
This week we celebrated a small milestone of 100k unique collectors - along with nearing 400k mints across our catalog of ~400 songs.
This is a huge win - but we should be mindful to really dive into what this means. These numbers are only possible because of our amazing distribution partners like Boost and Layer3. We're currently the top spender on Boost with over $100k allocated in incentives this year.
While we're proud of the system we've built to get artists paid - we realize there's a huge gap to be filled in making our catalog desirable to collectors in the absence of incentives or to music fans in general.
That's why we had Jayden Hills on for our first artist spotlight this week. Jayden is a perfect example of someone who came into the space with no expectations and has been shining since.
She's released all her songs onchain and viral on her second song with us called "Cry For Me". This prompted her to double down on Warpcast and she's now going through the Blueprint program with Bello - minting her content across Zora and Drakula as well.
Long way of saying - we've got a lot of heavy lifting to do to get the sentiment to change around onchain music.
If you're reading this, you're a big part of making that happen.
So here's to another week of great music. And to many more great artists to come!

We’ve been really excited about putting sets onchain - including recent sets from our Midnight Diner series. Now we’re back with a really unique set from San Holo.
He recorded the whole thing in 2x speed and then slowed it down later on to show the fans dancing in slow motion.
