The partnership introduces a print-on-demand service to SoundCloud’s Artist Pro users, so all the manufacturing, selling, and shipping will be taken care of, and you’ll get paid for every sale.

This new initiative has been launched to help small artists release their music physically, who might otherwise struggle to do so financially, as vinyl continues to reign supreme as the most coveted form of physical music media.
Artist Pro users can officially join the waitlist today, and will be notified once approved. From there, all you’ll need to do is pick your tracks from SoundCloud, add credits, upload artwork, and submit for review.
A web page for your vinyl will be created where it will be listed for sale, and then printed on demand so there’s no leftover stock. elasticStage will handle all processing, shipping (available to over 90 countries), and customer service requests.

“Vinyl sales have surged over 300 percent since 2016, yet most independent artists have been excluded from this growth due to high manufacturing costs and logistical limitations,” states Eliah Seton, SoundCloud CEO.
“We’re committed to helping artists thrive by providing new opportunities for connection and monetisation. This partnership is another step toward ensuring that every artist – no matter where they are in their career – has the tools to build a sustainable career.”
Steve Rhodes, elasticStage CEO and Co-Founder, adds: “We created elasticStage’s on-demand vinyl technology to make physical music as accessible as streaming for artists and music fans everywhere.
“Records have been bringing fans closer to their favourite artists for decades, but today’s modern music creators are now shut out of the vinyl market by high costs and outdated practices – our mission is to break down these barriers so musicians can sell vinyl with zero cost or risk. SoundCloud’s artist-centric platform is a perfect fit for us, and we’re thrilled to be collaborating with them.”
