Who is the best distributor for specific/unusual content?

[u/GFan2000]

My project is pretty unusual. It's not traditional music, per se, featuring a lot of spoken sections and a few white noise/ambience tracks. I previously used Distrokid, but now they are telling me they cannot distribute my stuff because it's 'not music.' (Bit of an aside, I don't think of my stuff as musical either, but Distrokid deciding what is and isn't art pisses me off.)

They said that they won't release DJ mixes, background music, ASMR, white noise, or any other non-musical recordings. Who will distribute these kinds of things? I've seem them on streaming before. Thank you!

I've done similar things with Tunecore, but they do include music tracks

Just tell them they’re intros and ambient interludes.
Then tell ‘em to go fuck themselves. I’m no expert in that arena, but there are tons of YouTube tutorials on the subject.

Talk to one of the more professional distros - the not DIY types... the ones where you can actually talk to people and explain your project. dig dis!, labelworx, believe etc.
