The Syndicate


A seat at the table

VNLGRV runs on the people who actually listen. The Syndicate is where that stops being a figure of speech: a members' hub where the artists on the roster and the people who play them daily sit in the same room, and where what gets released next is decided out loud.

It is open, and it is $2.99 a month. Cancel whenever you like — the seat is a membership, not a contract.

The vote

A vote on what the label releases next

Members decide what VNLGRV puts out, in what order, and which mixes make the broadcast.

The Vault

The Vault, and first listens

Members-only access to The Vault — every track the broadcast has played, searchable and linked to its official pages — plus unreleased cuts and show notes before anyone else.

The backing

Direct support to the label and artist

It funds the broadcast and the roster rather than an algorithm, and it goes to the artists on it.

The perks

A free digital product and a merch discount

One on the house when you join, and money off everything in the shop. More to come — this is the first cycle.

On the table


What the label does next

The questions the label is actually deciding — which demo gets signed, which single goes first. Anyone with a VNLGRV account gets a vote and can change it until the poll closes. Members’ votes are also counted on their own, as the Members’ pick, so you can see what the people backing the label want next to what everyone wants.

Micro-patronage, straight to the people on the roster. Each artist chooses where their support goes; the button takes you there, and the label takes nothing from it.

For artists


What the Syndicate does for artists

The room is half listeners and half the people making the music. Here is what an artist gets out of it.

Discovery picks

A free submission can end up on the Discovery playlist

Every Standard Drop is reviewed. The ones that get picked go into rotation and onto VNLGRV Discovery, refreshed weekly.

Limelight features

A guaranteed slot on The Limelight Show

One record pulled out of the set and given room, with a voiceover intro, in front of the people who listen hardest.

A say

Your demo, put to the vote

Demos the label is weighing go on the table above. The members hearing them first are the ones who will be playing them daily.
