2015 has been a great year for music, but the place of the record label is more precarious than ever. As more and more artists take it on themselves to build mini-empires on Bandcamp or SoundCloud, it’s hard not to wonder where labels fit in right now (full disclaimer: we did, for at least one second, consider naming ‘self-released’ as our favourite label of 2015.)
