When Meis Music Group planned to re-release the Frontline, KMG and Damascus Road Records catalogs digitally for the first time, Syntax was the perfect partner. Its team members were already fans of the catalog and wanted to make this music available to listeners worldwide — and they did.

Syntax’s customer service is attentive. Emails are answered promptly, and the staff provides consistent support. Releasing new digital projects is quick and seamless. They even assisted by creating cover art, metadata upload, and management of Apple, Amazon and other digital accounts. Even though MMG’s releases are all back catalog, Syntax still secured strong placement — something that is nearly impossible to achieve at an independent level.

Syntax is the perfect combination of old-school work ethic, honor and values, paired with the latest technology the market offers. I’ve worked with Syntax for more than 15 years and have always known them to be at the top of their field. They take real ownership of my titles, and I know I’m getting maximum exposure and the best sales opportunities for consumers. In my opinion, these guys do it right—and they’re the best. I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else.

Working with Syntax is truly a team experience. I appreciate how attentive the staff is to my needs. They handle business quickly and efficiently, which I value. It’s great to send them my hard work and let them take charge of getting the project into people’s hands. I’ve been pleased with what they’ve brought to the table on several past releases, and I look forward to more ahead. Way to go, Team Syntax!

Working with Syntax over the last 20 years, three things in particular stand out:

Cutting edge: Syntax has always stayed 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.

Perseverance: No matter what changes take place in the industry, Syntax continues pushing into new territories. Where many companies would buckle under pressure or get swallowed up by change, Syntax remains consistent and determined to get the job done—no matter what it takes.

Customer service: Syntax is highly responsive. They quickly answer important emails and know how to streamline the process when issues arise. They develop custom strategies that best fit each artist or label. All of this shows their experience, professionalism and ability to remain relational at the same time.

I love working with Syntax. They are always prompt in answering emails and genuinely seem to have a passion for what they do. With the distributors we worked with before Syntax, we often felt like an afterthought. It’s refreshing to actually receive placements that help our artists gain exposure. I would definitely recommend the team at Syntax.

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

Syntax has been exactly what my company needed to take our product to the digital marketplace. Their customer service is excellent, and they are always ahead of current trends.
