New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Hope Recordings) - Superstar DJs Way Out West (individually Nick Warren and Jody Wisternoff) have been working with US company INgrooves to sell releases direct to their fanbase via their website DRM free and with exclusive artwork - making them one of the first dance acts to do this. The single is the second from their fourth studio album 'We Love Machine' which was offered directly to fans as a 'premium format' or a $34.99 'deluxe format'; DRM free and including a t-shirt and artwork signed by the band - incentives previously not possible under chart regulations. Way Out West's label Hope Recordings explained ', in this digital age, many artists develop strong social networks and large fan databases but when it comes to retail are prepared to hand over this relationship to Beatport or itunes. This is about giving fans more choice and the artists another option when it comes to revenue streams...' INgrooves provides clients such as Way Out West with customised distribution, marketing, synch licensing and administrative support to help maximize the earnings potential of specific releases or catalogues. INgrooves currently works with Universal Music Group, VP Records, K-Tel International, Fat Possum and many other labels. Nick Warren recently went head to head with Sasha at Ministry of Sound's 18th Birthday and was ranked 58 in the DJ Magazine Top 100.
