_what we do
Ship while others strategize for months. We accelerate launch cycles with AI-first practices, move your products from MVP to PMF, and build systems that don't buckle when your albums blow up.
Transform decades of catalog data, brittle royalty and distribution systems, and integrations held together by hope. We modernize legacy systems and simplify migrations and architecture to minimize firefighting.
_tech capabilities
Scalable music distribution
We build and scale music distribution pipelines that get your tracks delivered quickly and reliably to every platform that matters.
Stream analytics & royalty payments
Real-time insights into stream performance with a clear breakdown of every dollar earned globally. Your team sees the numbers that matter, when they matter.
Fraud detection & rights protection
Advanced fingerprinting and tracking that protect your catalog globally. We catch infringement before it costs you.
Music similarity matching for sync & discovery
AI-driven audio similarity systems that power sync pitching, discovery tools, and playlist recommendations. Find the right track by how it sounds, not just how it's tagged.
Unified stack for artist storefronts
One centralized platform powering 1000+ artist stores. Features, branding, and scaling managed from a single backend. No more store-by-store firefighting.
Fan loyalty & custom subscriptions
Artist-first subscriptions: merch kits, exclusives, early drops. Recurring revenue that keeps fans coming back. Fully customizable, fully in your control.
Catalog & metadata management
One source of truth for your entire catalog. Clean metadata, DDEX-ready exports, and smart deduplication. Your tracks don't get lost between platforms.
Interactive dashboards
Custom dashboards that visualize earnings, streams, and trends. Built around how your team actually works, not around a template.
_AI for music

AI your leadership can own
We train your CXOs to use AI the way we do. Your COO spots bottlenecks before they hit delivery. Your CRO forecasts pipeline with data, not gut feel. When the engagement ends, the capability stays.

Faster delivery, not bigger teams
Our consultants use AI across every phase of delivery. That means shorter timelines, tighter feedback loops, and more output per sprint. You don't pay for a bigger team. You get more from a leaner one.

Built in, not bolted on
At Tarka Labs, AI isn't an afterthought, It's woven into how we architect, build, and deliver. That difference matters when you're trusting someone with your catalog data and royalty logic.

Sandboxed, secured, and compliant
Your contracts, data, and business logic never touch a public model. We run secure, sandboxed workflows with strict data boundaries, so you get the speed without the exposure.

We build modular from day one. New DSP connections, evolving deal structures, additional territories. The architecture handles it without a rewrite.
For startups, our consultants embed directly with your engineering team and move at your pace. For enterprises, we can run managed delivery with clear milestones and minimal overhead on your side. Either way, no bureaucracy, no layers of management between you and the people doing the work.
Tarka Labs consultants are passionate, with a flair for software craftsmanship. They were in complete synergy with our team, especially in their communication and accessibility. There’s no bureaucracy, so consultants could make decisions with very less interference.
