Domino Records have cooked up an interesting new scheme to get more hands in purses.

Domino have a fair few behemoths on their books (Animal Collective, Four Tet, Franz Fedinand), not to mention a cluster of rewarding small fry, but in – perhaps – an attempt to level the playing field between them, the label are launching a new subscription service. Domino Drip is a team-up with drip.fm, who have previously worked with Mad Decent and Stones Throw.

Service users will pay a regular membership fee of $9.99 a month, for which they’ll receive two albums and bonus material sent directly to their email account. The service will offer high-spec WAV and MP3 download of releases from Domino and all its subsidiary labels, including Double Six, Ribbon and Weird World. The first 100 subscribers will also get a copy of that Smuggler‘s Way zine-cum-compilation, originally released on Record Store Day.

Domino describe the scheme thus: “a membership scheme to connect fans of the label directly to the artists we work with by delivering new releases and exclusive material straight to their inbox. We’re edging closer to a scenario in which songs are heard by our fans as soon as they’re mastered, enabling the creative spark to be felt at once across the globe.”

New subscribers in June will receive instant downloads of Wild Beasts’ Smother, Lower Dens’ Nootropics and Hot Chip’s In Our Heads. In the coming months they can expect to receive new releases from Dirty Projectors, Animal Collective and Dan Deacon.
