Brief History
In 2016 UFO Recordz was born, a record label distributing and promoting artists in the EDM scene. Very quickly the UFO Recordz team discovered that all functionality they needed to work with day-to-day did not exist in one place, and that the costs for each mounted up, as well as each needing its’ own set of log-in credentials. Of the subscriptions they did pay for, they didn’t need or use all the vastly complex functionality – as the tools had not been designed with musicians in mind.
We understand the frustrations that come with juggling multiple subscriptions, managing numerous logins, and dealing with unnecessarily complicated products… and that’s why we’ve crafted a solution that simplifies your journey in the music industry, because we created and used these tools for ourselves.
With KIFFIX, you can access everything you need in one convenient package, bringing together various essential capabilities. Say goodbye to the hassles of multiple subscriptions, complex logins, and unreliable support.
KIFFIX allows you to focus on what truly matters – being creative. Join us as we arm the independent artist movement with the right tools to succeed online.
