Hype refreshes every 24 hours; it may take up to 24 hours before label content appears on the Hype charts (if eligible).
3. Label Eligibility for Hype
Hype represents an opportunity for Noiseconnexion’s smaller labels to get recognized, and chart, on Noiseconnexion’s platform. It’s also an opportunity for consumers to more easily discover new content that has yet to breakout. Hype is available only to those labels that have grossed up to, but not more than, $10,000USD in the trailing calendar year, from the date of sign up. Noiseconnexion reserves the right to reduce this amount for certain genres on Hype. Your registration for Hype is only valid for the specific label identified on your registration.
If, at any time after sign-up, a Hype label exceeds USD$10,000.00 in the trailing calendar year, the label will be eligible to remain on Hype through the current subscription month. Once the month is completed, the label will not be able to renew until sales for the trailing 12 month period fall below USD$10,000.00.
Noiseconnexion reserves the right to disqualify any label from Hype if it believes that label does not fit the spirit of this program. For example, if a well-established artist creates a new label for a new project featuring that artist, or artists of similar stature, the label will not qualify for Hype. Likewise, if Noiseconnexion has any reason to believe that sales for a label are being manipulated in order to gain a higher position on the Hype charts, Noiseconnexion reserves the right to disqualify that label from future participation on Hype.
4. Hype Genres
At this time, Hype is only available for the following genres: Techno, Tech House, House, Deep House, Melodic House & Techno, Drum & Bass, Minimal, Trance, Progressive House, Psy-Trance. If you are a label that provides content to Noiseconnexion in various genres, only that content identified as one of the aforementioned genres will be eligible for Hype participation. Additional genres may be added to Hype at a future date.
5. Termination from Hype
All monthly fees are non-refundable once paid. Any termination will be effective as of the next renewal date.
6. Hype Charts
The Hype charts are solely based on authentic, organic sales. Noiseconnexion reserves the right to exclude any sales from its Hype chart calculations that it believes, in its sole discretion, were made for the sole purpose of inflating sales and manipulating chart position.
7. Promotional Benefits of Hype
Noiseconnexion will provide select marketing or promotional support for Hype participants. Promotional and marketing opportunities may change. Please see https://hype.Noiseconnexion.com for the current opportunities being offered. Labels selected for Noiseconnexion marketing and promotional opportunities are solely at Noiseconnexion’s discretion.
