Strategic Partnership: Symphonic Distribution

We are proud to officially announce a new partnership with Symphonic Distribution. This collaboration represents a significant step forward in our mission to bridge the gap between world-class music distribution and industry-leading promotion tools.

By aligning with Symphonic, we are creating a more seamless pipeline for independent artists and labels. This partnership ensures that your music doesn’t just get onto streaming platforms – it gets the promotional leverage it needs to actually be heard.

Why this matters: Users can now expect a more integrated workflow, making it easier than ever to move from the distribution phase to active global promotion.

The Return of SoundCloud Uploading 2.0

We heard your feedback loud and clear. SoundCloud remains a vital ecosystem for electronic music and independent discovery, which is why we are thrilled to announce that SoundCloud uploading has officially returned to Syndicast.

This isn’t just a restoration of the old tool; it is a total rebuild. SoundCloud 2.0 features a modernized integration designed for stability and depth.

Key enhancements include:

• Smoother Authentication: A more reliable connection between your Syndicast dashboard and your SoundCloud profile.
• Enhanced Metadata Handling: Ensuring your track information remains consistent and professional across platforms.
• Faster Upload Speeds: Reduced latency when pushing your latest hits to the cloud.

Under the Hood: Major Infrastructure Upgrade

While the new features often get the spotlight, our engineering team has been rebuilding the engine. We recently completed a large-scale server and infrastructure upgrade to ensure Syndicast remains a fast, most reliable tool.

This wasn’t a standard maintenance patch. It was a fundamental restructuring designed to support future features and higher volumes without compromising performance.

The Result for You:

• Reduced Latency: Noticeably faster page loads and transitions.
• Instant Responsiveness: A dashboard that reacts in real-time, even when you’re managing heavy assets.
• High-Traffic Stability: Enhanced “burst” capacity, ensuring the platform stays rock-solid during high-volume release windows and peak global traffic.

Looking Ahead to an Exciting 2026!

January was about setting a high standard for 2026. We are committed to developing our platform to offer a powerful service. By focusing on both the visible features and the invisible infrastructure, we are ensuring that Syndicast remains a valuable tool for music professionals worldwide.
