Soon enough Spotify will become the record label. All a record label does is, produce, promote and distribute. It's an antiquated model.

Most labels don't even distribute. There's standalone businesses that do that. See Ingrooves, The Orchard, ADA (owned by Warner but run as a standalone business IIRC).

For indies that have fewer requirements, there's lots of cheaper options such as TuneCore, DistroKid, and CD baby as well.
