There are 26 songs on the two-volume series (13 songs per volume) from some of the world’s most renowned and respected artists in the industry, which landed on the moon in the Lunaprise time capsule. Summer of Love Volumes I and II will drop exclusively on Tune.FM this summer.

Tune.FM is transforming artist compensation and monetization, positioning itself as one of the world’s most transformational startup technology companies. By seamlessly integrating Hedera Hashgraph blockchain technology, with features including elaborate multimedia NFTs, exclusive super fan experiences and streaming royalty payments, Tune.FM is reshaping the music industry landscape.
When the Music Gets Played, The Artist Gets Paid
Breaking away from the traditional subscription-based and ad-supported models of mainstream streaming services today, Tune.FM is creating a more sustainable ecosystem through decentralization and tokenization (JAM), allowing artists to be compensated significantly and more fairly. In fact, Tune.FM compensates artists by up to 100X compared to other streaming platforms. In addition, artists can sell music, release exclusive NFT drops and multimedia elements directly to fans, and can take advantage of exclusive, immersive super fan experiences including merch bundles, meet and greets, VIP events, backstage passes, FaceTime opportunities with artists, and more. Offering a pay-as-you-go model, Tune.FM gives users the ability to choose what they listen to and pay for only what they consume, and to get compensated for listening to promoted music streams, representing a seismic shift in the music fan experience.
“This partnership with Space Blue further underscores how Tune.FM is creating a paradigm shift in the way music is consumed, distributed and monetized,” said Antar. “Tune.FM’s innovative and disruptive approach features a music streaming platform that offers rare or exclusive content from legacy artists and is a great platform to introduce new and upcoming artists. This approach provides great opportunities for artists to connect with fans and significantly expand monetization opportunities through streaming royalty micropayments and exclusive, unlockable and immersive super fan experiences. This is just the beginning of the type of content we will offer on Tune.FM,” said Antar.
Driven by his passion for music and technology, Andrew is on a mission to disrupt and democratize the music industry. Andrew’s visionary approach and the immense potential of Tune.FM’s model and vision have captured the attention of investors as he has secured over $30 million in funding.
Space Blue Club made history curating the Lunaprise museum which landed on the moon on February 22, 2024 and is a global space tech-art community, where art and technology collide, providing VIP experiences during high-profile Space Launch events and hosting global impact and charity auctions to support nonprofit causes, reinforcing our commitment to social responsibility.
