When Meis Music Group planned to re-release the Frontline, KMG and Damascus Road Records catalog digitally for the first time, Syntax was the perfect distribution partner. Their team members are fans of the Frontline artists, in particular, and dreamed of making this music available to fans around the world—which they did!

Syntax customer service is very attentive. Emails are answered promptly by staff and the guys ooze support. Releasing new digital projects is quick and seamless, including creation of the cover art, metadata upload and management of iTunes, Amazon, and all other digital accounts. Even though MMG hasn’t released new artists, Syntax has secured some nice positioning for our Samplers and catalog albums which is almost impossible to secure on an independent level.

Syntax is a perfect combination of old school work ethic, honor, and values, coupled with the new advances of technology that the current market offers. I’ve worked with Syntax for more than 10 years now and I’ve never known them to be any less than the top in their field. They take real ownership in my titles and I always know that I’m getting maximum exposure for the best sales opportunities in the market for the consumer. These guys do it right and they’re the best, in my opinion. I would not want to be anywhere else.

Working with Syntax is truly a team effort experience. I appreciate how their staff is attentive to my needs. They take care of business quickly and efficiently which I love. It’s great to send them over my hard work and let them run with getting the project in people’s hands. I have been pleased with what they bring to the table on several of my past releases. I look forward to more releases ahead. Way to go Team Syntax!

Working with Syntax over the last 10 years three things in particular stand out:

1. Cutting Edge: Syntax has always been ahead of the curve with new technology, new partnerships and new ways for fans to purchase or stream music. I’ve watched them evolve with the industry at every turn and remain relevant.
2. Perseverance: No matter what kind of changes take place in the industry, Syntax continues pushing forward into new territories. Where many companies would buckle under the pressure or get swallowed up by changes, Syntax continues to be consistent with a determination to get the job done no matter what it takes.
3. Customer Service: Syntax is a very responsive company. They quickly respond to important e-mails and know how to streamline the process of fixing things when issues or errors occur. They work out custom strategies that best fit each artist/label. All of this speaks to the fact that they are experienced at what they do. Professional and relational at the same time.

We love working with Syntax. They are always prompt answering emails and truly seem to have a passion for what they do. With some of the much larger companies we have worked with in the past we seemed to be an afterthought. It is nice to actually get placements to show our artists that our distributors are working for us and trying to widen our exposure. I would recommend the guys at Syntax.

Relationships are everything in the music business. I go back a long way with the Syntax crew and when it came time to move our catalog to a new distributor, it was a natural choice for Illect Recordings. They understand the nuances of the style of music we do and our unique approach. Communication is always on point and the personal touch is great.

Syntax has been exactly what my company needs to take our product to the digital market place. They have great customer service and are always ahead of current trends.
