Good afternoon, everyone. If you are reading this the day it goes live then you’re probably also joining us on the bandwagon of people counting down the final minutes before the holiday weekend. We don’t have any extra days off, of course, but Easter does give us an excuse to spend time with those we care about and that is reason enough to celebrate in our book.
Each and every Friday we like to take a brief break from our regularly scheduled programming to update and reflect on everything happening at Haulix HQ. We are far more than a music blog, as many of you already know, and posts like this give us an opportunity to share more our efforts with all of you. If you have any questions about the content of this post, or if you are interested in learning more about the secure music distribution services offered by Haulix, please email james@haulix.com and share your thoughts. We can also be found on Twitter and Facebook.
Reminder: We will be performing general patch updates in all of our servers this Saturday, April 19, from 5PM to 9PM (GMT). There will be some minor downtime during the process and services will be unavailable.
This week was a pretty crazy one at Haulix HQ. We have been preparing to launch our automated takedown service, but still need a few weeks before we will be ready to share details about the release and its ability to help us further protect your media. We should be ready in time for summer, but until then we must keep our lips sealed.
The blog has had a crazy week all its own. We ran more posts than usual in recent days, and a number of the features were embraced and shared by people who had never previously engaged with our brand. It’s always exciting to see your creation take off, but there is something extra special involved when you know how much that creation will help others down the line.
In case you missed anything this week, we have collected links for every recent post below:

With this being a holiday weekend we decided to keep this update short and to the point. Have a fun and safe weekend, everyone. If you go to RECORD STORE DAY, make sure you tweet pics of your haul to @Haulix.
