AffectSounds

About

Founded in 2016, AffectSounds is a forward-thinking independent label from the Netherlands built by artists, for artists. With a strong out-of-the-box vision and an international mindset, the label combines creative development, education, and professional studio services to guide talent from concept to official release. Through their label, academy, and full-service studio model, AffectSounds empowers the next generation of artists to build sustainable careers with both national and global impact. In the fall of 2025, the label migrated their full catalog, consisting of 400 products to Symphonic. We assisted them with the full migration process, and introduced them to our SplitShare feature, which enabled them to automate some of their manual work.

“The migration through TransferTrack went great. Whenever I need Sander, he responds almost immediately and switches gears right away to handle whatever comes up. Everything gets fixed straight away, so I’m genuinely very satisfied. I was a bit hesitant about the transfer beforehand, but it went perfectly.”
— Michael Spaans, CEO of AffectSounds

AffectSounds needed a scalable distribution partner that could seamlessly migrate their 400+ title catalog while reducing manual workload and supporting their international growth ambitions. Symphonic delivered a smooth full-catalog transfer, automated royalty splits through SplitShare, and provided hands-on client management with prioritized DSP pitching. The combination of operational efficiency, global reach, and responsive support gave the label the confidence to take the next step in their expansion.
