The new contours of distribution
Born from the buyout in 2018 of the distributor La Baleine created in 2000, Bigwax Distribution gives a new momentum to recorded music distribution and takes up all the new challenges of the record market and the evolutions of digital distribution.
Integrated into the 360° service solution of Kairos Club dedicated to independent labels and artists, we are an essential link in a global multi-channel sales solution including exclusive distribution in France, import-export, D2C, and digital.
Among our exclusive references in physical format, we work with French labels such as InFiné (Rone), Record Makers (Sébastien Tellier), Citizen (Vitalic), X-Ray Production (Asian Dub Foundation), Recherche & Développement (Jacques), or Partyfine (Yuksek).
On the import side, we work with internationally renowned labels such as Brownswood (Kokoroko), Strut (Sun Ra), Soundway (Vanishing Twin), Luaka Bop (Pharoah Sanders & Floating Points), Erased Tapes (Nils Frahm), K7 (DJ-Kicks), International Anthem (Jeff Parker), Light In The Attic (Nancy Sinatra), and many others.
The desire to develop a very strong digital strategy is also central at Bigwax Distribution. We benefit from significant opportunities through our attractive network for many French and European independent artists or producers thanks to our comprehensive physical / digital / D2C offer allowing us to support each project according to its color and its stage of development.
Building on our knowledge of the different markets in France and internationally, we have partnered with the digital content aggregator Kontor Media whose vision we share regarding the use of data to serve our partners. We are currently developing a client interface that will aggregate all data related to sales across all formats and distribution channels. This is one of the essential tools to help increase the visibility of your catalog through our services.
