Indie Label Ilian Tape Removes Entire Catalog From Spotify — “It Just Felt Like the Right Thing to Do”
German indie label Ilian Tape has removed its entire catalog from Spotify for the new year.
The Munich-based label was founded in 2007 by the Zenker Brothers. They announced the shift away from Spotify for 2022 on December 30, celebrating the new year. “This year has been one of the busiest for the label. We want to deeply thank all the artists and all our supporters! Ilian Tape turns 15 next year, lots of fresh stuff coming up,” the tweet reads. “It’s also time for a change; none of the music will be available on Spotify anymore. Happy new year!”
Ilian Tape Co-Founder Marco Zenker discussed the labels decision to remove its catalog from Spotify with Crack Magazine.
“We thought about taking everything off Spotify for a while, and now it just felt like the right thing to do,” Zenker says. “In an interview in 2020, the Spotify CEO made it clear that it’s all about quantity; that artists can’t take several years to finish an album anymore.”
