limbo/

Modular B2B music distribution infrastructure, built as Music Blocks. Independent and founder-owned. Your data stays yours, never shared with majors.

[limbo/ @limbomusic]

limbo/Chat 💥 The first AI connector integrating your music data directly into your ChatGPT or Claude app.

THE DASHBOARD IS DEAD ☠️

Your data just learned to talk 💬

Made by a FULLY INDEPENDENT company. 💪

[limbo/ @limbomusic]

We're here for the ones who don't want to rent their infrastructure from a major.

When a major owns your infrastructure, independence turns into a setting they can change.

Your distribution partner gets acquired by a major. Your catalog data, your release plans, your margins all end up in the hands of a company that also owns the labels you compete with.

An MCP server that plugs into the AI tools you already use, where you just ask and get the answer. What you get back is hours of your time and a clearer read on your own business.

Getting clear answers about your catalog shouldn't take spreadsheets and hours of work.

For most teams, it still does.

That's why we built limbo/Chat 👇

[limbo/ @limbomusic]

Each option solves a different problem.
We'll help you understand which one fits your goals, with all the numbers on the table before you decide.

Need capital to record your next album, go on tour, or grow your label?

At limbo/ there are two ways to access it, and they're not the same thing.

[limbo/ @limbomusic]

So we built limbo/Beat: automated quality control for metadata, audio, and artwork.

Every release, checked the same way, in minutes.

The music doesn't change. The pipeline does.

Still reviewing your releases manually?

Cover art with hidden text, misspelled track titles, audio that doesn't match the artist on file. These are the issues that slip through ↓

[limbo/ @limbomusic]

And every rejection is a release that misses its date, a campaign that loses momentum, and a catalog team focused on chasing fixes instead of moving forward.

Manual review doesn't scale. That's the problem.

We believe there's a better way to ship music at volume ↓

[limbo/ @limbomusic]

Some days the industry makes this feel harder than it should.

Then we come back to these two words, and everything gets clear again.

Independent. Human.

Still worth building for, still worth protecting. With love, since 2006.

[limbo/ @limbomusic]

If you distribute jazz, classical, folk, ambient, or any genre where the recording itself is part of the experience, this is the DSP where audio quality comes first and human ears decide what gets featured.

Great news! limbo/ has a direct deal with @qobuz 🔊

The streaming platform built for listeners who truly value music and sound, Qobuz offers lossless high-resolution audio, up to 24-bit quality, and a catalog of more than 100 million tracks, all curated by real music experts.

Suno is "exploring a developer API."

The pitch: a curated group of partners building applications "that unlock experiences generative music makes possible for the first time."

Let me describe one of those experiences. Streaming royalties are still mostly pro-rata: one pool of money, divided by total streams. Every synthetic track that captures plays takes its fraction from the same pool that pays human artists.

People uploading AI tracks one at a time already do this. An API lets you do it at industrial volume, programmatically, from inside somebody else's product.

Some context worth keeping in view. Universal and Sony are suing Suno over the recordings used to train these models. In May, after fingerprinting Suno's training data, they asked the court to expand the case to more than 61,000 identified works. A summary judgment hearing on the fair use question is expected this month. Suno's response so far: raise 400 million dollars and start recruiting developers.

Build the company on material the courts haven't ruled on. Open the platform before they do.

We've spent twenty years building music technology. At @limbomusic/, we work with AI every day to protect catalogs, not to replace the people who made them. So this is not fear of the tools. It's an objection to one specific business model: take value from human work without consent, then scale the extraction while its legality is still an open question in court.

Somebody's years are inside every song in that training data. Lessons, rent, failed bands, the whole cost of a life in music. When a fraction of a cent moves from that person to a synthetic track, that movement is not weather. Someone designed it.

Most of the industry is applauding. So, honest question: are we not seeing it, or do we see it and think it's fine?

I don't.

#Independent in a moment of concentration.
#Human in a moment when not everything that sounds like music is.

[limbo/ @limbomusic]

That's why, at limbo/Beat, we've integrated AI music detection for companies managing large music catalogs, helping them identify synthetic tracks and stay aligned with DSP policies.

What do you think about TIDAL's decision?

We'd love to hear your thoughts.

[limbo/ @limbomusic]

Big news in the music industry

This is the announcement @TIDAL made just a few days ago.

Starting July 15, all tracks generated entirely by AI will be labeled, won't earn royalties, and listeners will be able to filter them out completely.

[limbo/ @limbomusic]

Because the issue isn't AI-generated music itself. It's the sheer volume of it flooding streaming platforms. And when creating and uploading music becomes effortless, the music that once stood out becomes much harder to find.

[limbo/ @limbomusic]

If you run an electronic label or distribute artists in that space, whether it's techno, house, drum and bass, or any subgenre, your catalog can now get there through limbo/'s supply chain.
