Building from Record Bin Radio as its foundation and incorporating an Employee Ownership Trust into its structure, the Record Bin Social Club creates a space for a curated group of artists to join forces and reap the benefits of solidarity... all for doing what they normally do: create content and connect with their fans.
What's different here, though, is that the Social Club uses a monetized, mutualism model which is additive for artists, rather than extractive. In this world, members receive a salary plus health insurance, a 401k plan, annual employee-ownership dividends, and a voice in company governance. Each artist is paid the same – no matter their status outside the Social Club – so your subscription supports every single member of the collective.
It's like a curated group fan club set in a workers' cooperative model built for, with, and by collective care.
We're launching August 18 and hope you'll join us in nurturing connection and community through music.
