—————————————————————————————————————————————
A Liverpool-based organisation with a range of activities including promotional distribution, design, print, publicity and events.
We are an independent collective of promoters, designers, publicists, and project managers with a stoic work ethic, a creative approach and a passion for what we do.
—————————————————————————————————————————————
Our music is living testimony to the fact that cultures can and do mix. It unites us and gives us strength, and offers a vibrant celebration of our multicultural and multiracial society. Racism seeks only to divide and weaken us. Love Music Hate Racism (LMHR) was set up in 2002 in response to rising levels of racism and electoral successes for the Nazi British National Party (BNP).
We use the energy of our music scene to celebrate diversity and involve people in anti-racist and anti-fascist activity as well as to urge people to vote against fascist candidates in elections. LMHR has helped to mobilise against further BNP election victories, in the tradition of the Rock Against Racism (RAR) movement of the late 1970s.
There have been now been many hundreds of LMHR events, from large outdoor festivals to local gigs and club nights. Top artists whohave performed at LMHR events include Ms Dynamite, Hard -Fi, Babyshambles, Akala, Get Cape Wear Cape Fly, Estelle, The View, Lethal Bizzle, Roll Deep and Basement Jaxx. Just as important are the up-and-coming bands, DJs, MCs and their fans who have performed at or organised their own local LMHR nights.
We want to create a national movement against racism and fascism through music, so it’s vital everyone gets involved however they can.

The way people consume music has changed, but the value has not. Your music is important, it has taken time , money and effort to produce. It deserves exposure and it could lead you on to a successful music career. We have had some great success stories, but we want more. Your success is our success and we want to do much more than just put your music into the stores.
GET PLAYED

We have had 7 UK top 40 singles, all with unsigned artists and seen artists like Doug Walker go on to sign 7 figure record deals.

Ditto are working closely with Sentric Music to gain new sources of artist revenue. Sentric have recently placed music into TV shows such as “The Hills” and “Paris Hilton’s Best Friend.” All artists signing with Ditto will have their music pushed for sync opportunities.
GET PAID
Unlike some distributors, we do not take any percentage of your earnings. In fact we give you an extra 10% , giving you 110% royalties on sales. For independent artists, selling music on digital sites like iTunes or Amazon has meant paying out 10% of every sale to the MCPS / PRS for music. Not anymore…
Every time you play a gig you are owed royalties ranging from £6 for an open mic night, to thousands of pounds for festival appearances. There are also royalties owed to you if your music has been on radio or television and we can claim back all of these for you, for up to the last 6 months. Once you sign up with Ditto you simply enter your details and we collect the money for you.
