Haulix Weekly Update #132: “Remember when I said I’d eat you last? I lied.”

Hello, everyone! We hope this update finds you staying cool as the summer temperatures begin to roll in. It is currently 93 degree in Minneapolis as we write this post, which for midwesterners like ourselves feels like the surface of the sun. Thankfully, there are a number of crazy good album releases arriving in stores today, and we’re going to try and keep our minds off the heat by enjoying those works. If you need a recommendation, check this out:

As I mentioned above, each and every weekend 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.

Development updates:

We told you last week that we were finally prepping for the release of our long-awaited platform overhaul, and we are happy to report we are still on track to meet our desired deadline. We don’t want to jinx ourselves by putting an exact date out into the world just yet, but know that we are within 2 weeks of seeing our vision for the future of Haulix (and really – promotional distribution as a whole) realized. More news on that will appear on this blog in the days ahead.

Blog updates:

If you have been following our daily posts you’ll have no doubt recognized a lot of content being produced as of late. This is admittedly part of a two-fold plan. On one hand, we want to provide you with everything you need to navigate the modern music business. On the other hand, we know as we near the launch of the new Haulix we will not have time for content creation, so we’re shoveling out a lot of posts now to hold you over until we can return to business as usual. If you missed anything as of late, especially our podcasts, please head over to our archive and catch up ASAP.

That’s all we have for this week. Check back Sunday for an all-new music industry job board.

XOXO

Haulix Weekly Update #123: “This doesn’t happen in America. Maybe Ohio, but not America.”

Hello, everyone! Welcome to another Haulix Weekly Update. Have you had a good week in the office? It has been unsurprisingly cold in Minneapolis, but our team has been making the best of it with long hours spend in warm offices plugging away at our next big release. We have a few important news items to share, but before we get there we wanted to show you this:

As I mentioned above, each and every weekend 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.

COME SEE US LIVE!

We are less than two weeks away from the start of SXSW, and just like last year we will have people on the streets of Austin all week long. James Shotwell, Digital Marketing Coordinator, will be spear-heading our efforts on site. He will also be hosting our panel, which happens on Friday, March 18, from 2-3PM. Click here for more information.

Development news:

We’ve been asked to keep details at a minimum, but suffice to say this week the Haulix team received the last major piece of what we would consider the second of a three-part lead up to the release of our new platform. We are now just days away from beginning testing on all our upgrades, and after that is complete we will be pushing the finished project to all of you. More details soon!

Blog news:

With all the planning and work being put into the next phase of product development we have admittedly put our blog efforts on the back burner a bit. That said, we are still churning out 5-10 original columns every week, including our podcast (Inside Music). We may not be hitting the same quantity we did three months back, but we believe the quality of what we create is better now than ever before. Don’t believe us? Head over to the archives and see for yourself.

That is all the news we have to share this week. Have a wonderful weekend and be sure to check back tomorrow for a brand new Job Board.

Best,

Team Haulix

Haulix Weekly Update #98: “And I, for one, welcome our new insect overlords.”

Hello, everyone. Thank you for stopping by our blog. Whether it’s your first visit or your hundredth, we’re happy to have your attention. This is our weekly recap post, which runs every Friday, and in it we talk all things Haulix. Before we get there however, we like to share a song that has been on repeat in our offices this week. With the weekend only a few short hours away, this track will help you celebrate your impending freedom like no other. Enjoy:

DEVELOPMENT NEWS:

Work on our impending relaunch continues, but at this point we have no new information to share on the development front. That said, we did complete our first Haulix user guide this week, and we hope to have it available for download beginning in early October. 

Additionally, we have begun planning a series of online learning sessions to help introduce clients, as well as members of the press, to the new version of Haulix. Signups for these courses will begin in early September.

BLOG NEWS

The biggest piece of news we have this week on the blog front is our recent collaboration with SonicBids. A lot of people have told us our blog reminds them of the one SonicBids has, so our two companies decided to partner and share content in order to better provide our readers with a more well-rounded view of life in the modern music industry. You’ll see some of their posts on our site moving forward, and you’ll likely spot some of our old content on theirs. 

We’ve also been messing around with podcast stuff, but we’ll have more on that next week.
