The New Music Economy

Decentralising Music – Without Labels, Without Spotify and Without Permission. 

For artists dipping a toe in, the upside is huge: full ownership of your work, global reach without platform lock-in, immediate payment, and a growing audience that actively chooses to support independent creators. This isn’t about replacing everything overnight—it’s about adding a sovereign income stream that compounds over time.

About New Music Nudge Unit

We help guide artists as they develop their sound, grow their audience, and build worlds around their music. We don’t just promote releases—we publish them into the Valueverse, a decentralised space designed to empower creators and break the old industry mold. Together, we push music into new territory, where artists own their stories and their value.

We don’t just promote music. We nudge it into the future.

Our Mission

To support local artists and musicians. Power them up with Bitcoin and get them earning real money for their art! – We can show musicians how easy it is to publish their art independently and earn bitcoin for doing so. See this case study here

Bitcoin shows it removes borders, expands geography and removes the gatekeepers from an industry long disrupted by Napster and retaken over by fiat money and fiat gatekeepers. read more

What is the Valueverse? Or V4V music, or DeMu.

 

We have 3 names for decentralising music – Not one has stuck, Yet.

“To access the valueverse download a modern podcast app such as Fountain.fm or listen in via your browser using lnbeats.com or v4vmusic.com

The valueverse is where artists publish their music to the Bitcoin layer of the internet, allowing fans and listeners to send “boosts” (small Bitcoin payments) directly to them. It’s music in its purest form: peer-to-peer, value-for-value. Artists receive almost all of the value, with no middlemen — just music, connection, and freedom.”

UK’s First Ever Bitcoin-Powered Music Gig Held in Westcliff-on-Sea

Westcliff-on-Sea, Essex – May 23, 2025 – Into the Valueverse, the UK’s first-ever Bitcoin-powered music event,

The event featured an exciting line-up of independent artists, including Longy (Southend’s own genre-defying rebel), Joe Martin (a rising name in UK Americana), and Nathan Abbott (a soulful Essex-based singer-songwriter).

What makes Into the Valueverse a true first is its fully interactive format. Powered by Bitcoin’s “value-for-value” model, both in-person attendees and global viewers can send real-time support directly to the artists during their performances via small Bitcoin payments, known as “boosts” or “zaps.” The gig was livestreamed worldwide via Podcasting 2.0 apps and NOSTR, making it accessible across borders.

This marks a bold new direction for music and digital culture in the UK — and it’s all happening in Essex first. Video below.

Big Kudos to supporters of the Show
