<strong>Shipping costs :</strong></p>
<p>
Don't forget to add the shipping costs to your sum. We tried to calculate them fair.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
Paris DJs will organise for the vinyl release date a special event at the Betino's record store in Paris. You'll be able to get your records directly, have them signed, meet the crew, etc. - and of course avoid the shipping costs. Don't add any shipping costs if you'll be in Paris in July...</p>
<p>
Paris DJs have funded entirely all the music production, from composition & recording up until mix and mastering (or co-funded with some artists/labels on some co-productions). Paris DJs has also funded all the visual artworks, in collaboration with Ben Hito's KlassAffair society. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
The 10.000€ will be used, in part, to fund the pressing of vinyl records : </p>
<p>
</p>

<p>
Including : mastering, lacquers, conception and printing of the 4 colors centers, test-pressings, conception and printing of the 4-color "Paris DJs Soundsystem" sleeves, for a total cost of 7200€</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
<strong> - One collector boxset which will gather all six 45s together</strong>, with only 100 copies produced</p>
<p>
Conception and printing of the boxset will cost us 2400€</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>

<p>
This includes mastering, lacquers, conception and printing of the 4 colors centers, test-pressings, conception and printing of the 4-color sleeve and liner, cellophaning, mastering and the whole follow-up process for a total cost of 5000€</p>

<p>
</p>
<p>
That's a total cost of 17.000€.</p>
<p>
If everything goes according to plan, 12.000€ will be funded by this campaign.</p>
<p>
We'll have 5.000€ left to find - through record stores pre-orders, complentary to this crowdfunding campaign.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
Of course, the more you'll support us, the less we'll need the traditional music business way.</p>
